Chart of the Day: See the rise in Singapore’s commuter population

As the government continues to discourage private vehicle ownership.

The ratio of the average daily ridership divided by the Singapore population grew from 1.16 in 2009 to 1.36 in 2013.

According to a report by UOB Kay Hian, this increase in ridership penetration could be due to a larger proportion of the population taking public transport or each existing commuter making more trips.

UOB Kay Hian adds that either of these explanations bode well for the land transport sector and this trend is expected to continue given the government’s stance on discouraging private vehicle ownership.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
