Very elegant, sporty looking.

Buddy @TaiShang , what kind of auto do you drive?

At the moment, I am a firm public transportation user

In the future, I wish it to be a mid-sized SUV with Chinese characteristics.

Ah, a very wise choice in the public transportation ! One saves a lot of money this way. Yea, there are a lot of Chinese brands out there. If i had to choose a Chinese auto right now? I'd pick this:

good citizen, the modern metropolis would have more space if private vehicles disappear.

Hanoi traffic is like this

Honda, Honda, Honda, Yamaha, Piaggio, Honda, Toyota, Chevrolet, Honda ...

For next few years.

Private vehicle is a necessity, too. It is a luxury, at times, but, a nice one, I believe. I guess the freedom of mobility it provides is something few of us would shun.

It takes about 45 minutes by bus. On weekend, it depends. Sometimes, you just have to carry on with the stuff you are unable to finish off during the week.

I actually prefer the use of public transportation for regular commutes as it saves money in the long term. For example, whenever I have to go up to New Brunswick, NJ or to Newark, NJ for work , I usually take the AMTRAK. Its a lot better than driving there and having to pay for not only gas, but tolls, and then some. He he, hey, if i can save couple of hundred dollars in the end of the month, why not, right?

Honda is very popular in Vietnam? What other car brands are popular in your country, buddy ?

One of the positive thing in Singapore is well control of individual vehicles.
That make Singapore the most clean and green city all over the world.

The solution, pricing so high to vehicle and apply the quota to new annual register

A Chevrolet Cruze, J300/309 cost about over 100,000 dollars.

If i may also infer, Singapore is a city state; roughly around the same size as Hong Kong SAR. So it really doesn't have much to grow and has already reached its potential in terms of development. Public transportation becomes a necessity for a country as small (geographically speaking) like Singapore.

In terms of motorcycles/scooters, do you have any sizable SYM and/or KYMCO presence in Vietnam?

Driving car is one of US hobbies.
It's not all about the cost but comfortable.
: cinema, drive-through take away. nearest postal, mart ...

That's why there're many overweighted people there.
Honda is not the most popular car brand but motorbike brand
Toyota is the best seller, Hyundai/Kia, Chevrolet, Ford, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, ...

In terms of motorcycles/scooters, do you have any sizable SYM and/or KYMCO presence in Vietnam?

In the past, there's point of time, SYM has good sale, but now almost Honda, Yamaha...
KYMCO only in middleland of Vietnam, not in central metropolis.

Honda has been successful with their motorbike sale, now they start to promote sale of Honda cars with Honda CRV, Honda city... few new name Suzuki Swift , Peugeot, Renault.

How you say about Beijing?

 

[Aepsilons]

How you say about Beijing?

Beijing still is developing , definitely has the land mass for more urban development.

It doesn't mean that vehicle control is needless.

I think China is very pro-HSR, like Japan, so this and available high quality public transportation buses can be availed by the common Chinese citizen. But from my analysis of China's growing middle class, their selection style in autos is a combination of 1) quality 2)reliability and 3) affordability. Looking at Beijing's current urban policies and roadwork development, it definitely can handle increases in car owners.

@BoQ77 ,

Just an example of recent civil engineering developments in Beijing's roadways.

 

[BoQ77]

Few decades ago, Tokyo ever heavily air polluted, how Japanese improve that issue, @Nihonjin1051 ?

Car Ownership Control in Chinese Mega Cities: Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou

Journeys, September 2013

Abstract:

Three mega cities in China – Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangzhou – have implemented a unique quota policy to control car ownership growth. In this paper, we explore how special characteristics of China’s rapid urbanisation and motorisation contribute to the formulation of this unique policy. These cities, however, have adopted different policy designs. Auction, lottery and a hybrid of these two mechanisms are used in Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou respectively. We analyse the design, evolution and effectiveness of these policy measures. We also discuss how these measures can fit with an integrated transportation demand management policy.
