NSTnation: More than 87 per cent in the Klang Valley drive alone to work; the highest in the world for single commuters category.
It revealed that more than 87 per cent in the Klang Valley drive alone to work; the highest in the world for single commuters category.
Cent-GPS said the affordability of fuel and toll among single-driver commuters had led to the large percentage. “The cost of fuel and sitting through traffic is just not as big as the cost of having to sit and listen to your colleague complain about the boss. “In our qualitative studies, it is clear from our respondents that many prefer to drive alone because of comfort.
Cent-GPS said other countries had started to see a decreasing number of single-drivers with many more opting for public transport and carpooling. “Belgium, the number of single-driver commuters has been declining at a rate of five per cent a year, adding that this group is now believed to be only around 30 per cent of road users,” it said.“Our policy-makers should not pursue the plight of eradicating tolls or continued fuel subsidies.
