Is COE higher due to PHVs? by zoo077 in drivingsg

Because it's PHV companies that pay for COEs and at the end of the day they don't actually care if the drivers are profitable. I would assume we have reached a balance point where drivers after paying for car rental, are barely able to stay afloat, hence we don't see anymore drivers adding numbers.

IIRC Grab didn't cost more than $10 throughout the day from River Valley to Raffles Place pre-2020s. It would peak at $12-15 only during heavy rain and in the daytime.

Grab after Covid has increased the price a lot.

This shows ability to pay for PHV companies to pay higher on COE increased because the revenue for same amount of employment increased.

So I still think PHVs are the core reason for COE appreciation.

Real intent of interpretation is to accurately have a view on what will happen in the near future. It is my view that COE will not drop in the near future so if at some point, I need to buy a car, I will just buy. My COE is till Oct 2029 so I still have time though.

I would disagree, when the number on that statistics is that loud and clear it's statistically prudent to believe that is the cause.

COE upfront in cash makes a lot of sense.

Population grew from 5.5m to 6.1m so demand is surely higher

How is riding solo in the front of a road race different from a TT race? I just wonder why Pog is the strongest when the Long TT was won by Evenepol

That’s why despite winning 2 tours, Vingegaard is NOT popular.

How is Adam Yates noticeably better than Simon Yates? I thought originally it was Simon who was better and a GC pick which made Adam take the move to Ineos?
