A Case Study on Urban Transportation Development and Management in Singapore
نویسندگان
چکیده
In many Asian metropolitan areas and large cities, transportation issues are major concerns among ordinary citizens and policy-makers alike. Road congestion is the most common issue, arising when traffic volumes exceed the free-flow design capacity of the facilities that channel traffic flows. Recognizing that excessive congestion imposes a cost on individuals, society, and the city as a whole, Singapore has introduced a number of far-reaching policies aimed at improving the traffic situation. Consequently, Singapore can be considered one of the few Asian cities to be successful in land transport management. Traffic in the city is moving much better than in most other Asian cities.
