The future of cities and transportation

Read this article.

My view
In the future, each town should be designed to be designed without private cars. People will travel by various modes of public transport, taxis and automated cars (without drivers). If they wish to travel outside the town, the can hire a car that is parked at the fringe of the town or take a long distance bus. There will be no travel congestion and people can travel within the town in comfort.

Here is an article about night parking in HDB car parks. We have inadequate car parks in Singapore for the growing number of private cars.

An awesome book

Hi Kin Lian
I just spent my Sunday afternoon reading your blog. Thanks for putting all these togather. Very informative. I am now on the verge of canceling my 3 year old life policy with GE. I decided to up my coverage under term as well. I have not read your book but will be more than happy to buy 10 as gifts. Do let me know the purchase procedure for such quantity order.
