Singapore’s impeccable transport system reeks of one flaw: study

It’s the best, but there’s a catch.

Singapore’s transportation system has often been lauded as one of the best in the world. A study released today by Siemens and London-based consulting firm Credo further affirmed this, but it also pointed out a glaring weakness that demands quick investment and attention.

According to the study, “Singapore’s only immediate weakness is a relatively low network density which leaves some areas poorly connected. However, long term development plans and continuous investment to maintain the existing high standards are all that is required for it to retain its position."

The study nonetheless praised the reliability and punctuality of the country’s transport system, as well as the fact that almost all of its public transport vehicles are air-conditioned.

The results show that Singapore is the best in the “High-density compact centers” category. Other best cities include Copenhagen, Denmark for the “Well-established cities” category, and Santiago, Chile for the category of “Emerging cities”.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
