Singapore has been ranked eighth in a 2017 index of the urban transport systems of 100 cities around the world.
The list, the 2017 Sustainable Cities Mobility Index by design, engineering, and management consultancy group Arcadis, considered indicators such as safety, ridership, congestion, delays, affordability and more to rank the best transport systems.
Singapore is the third Asian city in the top 10, having bagged 8th place. Hong Kong earned the top spot overall while Seoul came in 4th in the index, thus having the second best transport system among all Asian cities.
Zurich and Paris took 2nd and 3rd place respectively.
The study found that European nations consistently ranked among the highest in the list, while North American and Australian cities made up the middle of the index since residents of those regions mostly rely on private vehicles for transportation.
Middle Eastern and African cities predominantly took the last spots, due to issues like road congestion.
The image of the MRT is rather misleading in relation to the topic of the article. 😉
Please la! Lai Liao! Pui!
Like that also can?
Oneself check oneself..
Stop masturbating…
Top 10? Seriously?!?!?
No, top 10 FROM BOTTOM lah
People on train praying all the times.
parisian metro is constantly on daily strikes and ranks 3? this survey lacks credibility
Yet Singapore ranked 8th, telling don’t you think? LOL
Howww??
Singapore will rank 1st in Asia if comes to breakdown..lol
Because Hong Kong’s public transport system is way better
I meant…how does Singapore even feature in the list with its ever too frequent mrt breakdowns
I’m sure it will fall below 30 by end of this year.
Agreed. Esp after the paperplay that the investigation has uncovered
Sure or not, believe there are errors. Should be top 10 from the bottom more like it!
That’s before the (non)maintenance fiasco came to light right? Revoke the award?
Seriously? How much do they pay to get top 10 spot? I think theres a major error in the ranking. comedy of error, truly!!!
Kelong
LOL, if you have buses that run regularly on time, you are in the top 10.
No, it wrong. Singapoor SMRT transport system is ranked World number ONE, that is in system breakdowns
All these ranking things could be the same as voting.
Every now and then hear barking and swearing against, but come to voting or ranking, still select blindly for those they have been barking and swearing at !
Wahahaha, is really a big joke before end 2017……
A public transport ranking without Taiwan being in front of Singapore is bullshit. .
If you think we are bad.. There is always someone worse… Thats will make you feel better
Fake news or fake data?
I think it is both fake news and data.
How many train systems are there in Asia? Nothing to be proud of unless you are on the TOP spot!
Likely the guys who voted dont know about our record breaking breakdowns.
Get Changi Airport Management to take over management of the MRT
I thought we are at #1 in Incompetencies As Public Transport Opetator.
Lol.. Joke of the day… Seriously top 10.. lol..
Singapore rank nothings now days. because we don’t have wise leader with his team of clown good for nothing.
one small task don’t even do it right like MRT forever delay some more raise fare n tax on citizen . WAFUG SGP HAS.
Comment sense of people will know whether it’s true ir not. Shame
Its based on tempered results submitted la
Wow too good to be true. Maybe there are shopping malls at station…ha ha
Laugh me die 笑死我了 ketawa mati saya
Says a lot about the state of public transport worldwide :/
Certain types of voting, esp. those open type by means of raising the hand to support, is not realistic.
Many vote for an item or person because they see (some) others are supporting, and so don’t want to be the odd ones out, or don’t want their friends/colleagues to realise what they actually have in their mind.
