Our reader thinks all city tour buses should not be allowed to ply the city during peak hours or lunch time so they do not waste other people's time. What do you think? Is this a valid argument?

A reader is sick of heavy vehicles causing accidents. He suggested for authorities to ban them from Singapore roads or restrict the timing where they can drive. Do you agree?

I left house early for tuition in hopes to reach my tutee's house earlier. However, the feeder service at my area was delayed 20 minutes due to the oil spill at Woodlands. So I decided to cab to CCK once I reached Woodlands interchange. In the cab, halfway through the journey to the entrance of BKE, the traffic congestion was really bad and the vehicles were barely moving. I think he could see that I was panicking and then he decided to drop me off at some random bus stop and asked me to take the train instead because the jam definitely wouldn't clear anytime soon and also to save me from the meter fare. When I took out my wallet to pay, he rejected my money immediately and said it's okay and even told me to hurry to my tutee's house.

A Singaporean man stirred an outrage in Singapore’s Facebook community after complaining about a deceased who caused a massive traffic jam along the PIE. Posting on The Straits Times link, Zichuan Ong complained about having his time wasted in a traffic jam and that the "cibai" deceased traffic victim “deserves it”. Ong added that life is destined by God and told critics to accept it as part of life.

A man in China has started riding a horse to work to avoid traffic jams. The horseman claims he gave up his car because the roads to work are always congested with traffic, making him late almost every day. On a whim, the man one day decided to leave behind his car and use his horse to get to work. Riding the horse is now the man’s main way to get to work and to leave for home.
