Executive Summary

This proposal discusses the concerns regarding traffic congestion arising from the
high car ownership in Singapore resulting in traffic congestion. As such, the team
would like to suggest a new approach to allow greater maneuverability in traffic
especially in the CBD area through a ‘car-sharing’ approach. Primary and secondary
data obtained from different sources has established a need for the improvement or
developing of a new approach in order to reduce the number of cars on the road. This
approach would serve to provide alternative transportation for people for occasional
and leisure purposes and thus reducing car ownership. The proposed solution contains
three parts, the conversion of unused taxis to the car-sharing vehicles, implementation
of the approach and benefits of these cars. These ideas will work in tandem to
complement existing policies to encourage alternative mode of transportation, reduce
car ownership and effectively make our roads less congested and stressful.
