    Default Taxis will be taken out of COE bidding process from Aug

    Taxis will be taken out of COE bidding process from Aug: LTA

    What do u think ? COE will drop at least 10k ?

    Obviously MAS cannot lose face of targeting 4 to 4.5% inflation rate

    Wah lau. Taxis take out from Cat A and Cat A quota remain the same? This effectively means more cars on the road liao lor. More jam. Taxis cause more jam than private cars since they ply the road almost 24 hours. Those who paid high COE for their Cat A cars must be fuming mad. Haha. If want to take taxis out from Cat A, then Cat A quota has to come down and allocate some to Cat E. i hope out govt know how to make the necessary adjustments, .ie. deregistration for taxis should now be moved to Cat E and therefore the Cat A quota should be reduced (shifted to Cat E) as well. Or else vehicle growth rate go up again.

    You are sharp. In fact, taxi companies need to ramp up their fleet size as required by LTA. The old taxis that need to be replaced when it reached EOL will just pay prevailing CAT A COE while new fleet will get their Coe from CAT E.

    Whether CAT will drop or not? Anybody guess. Lots of Euro cars with 1.6L turbo going be launched in next few months.....starting this weekend from Merc with the B200.

    Will the low cat a Coe attract the cat b driver to downgrade to cat a ?

    Some may downgrade.
    But once you have driven big cars, it is difficult to downgrade.

    But some 1.6 cars are as big as 2.0cc.. like the 1.6 Volvo S60 or Peugeot 508 or even 1.6 MPV Citroen C4 Grand Picasso & 1.4 Opel Zafira is also very spacious

    no cat b buyer will buy an underpowered conti so such borderline cases are rare. if you are buying a massa or mac or porky, who cares if its cat a or b as long as its performs well. this will b very good news for TDI makers, bad news for inbetweeners like 1, 3, A, B, C

    Garment should really review the COE and focus on usage rate with the upcoming GPS-ERP system.

    sorry to dash your hope, it will take another 4y because in August they reduce less than planned

    the era of cheap COE is over even in next 10y, with so much investment in CCL, DTL, ERL, TSL ... u think they will let COE drop to $1??
