it's been like this for quite a few decades i think, the certificate to own a car, last year i checked, it's about 100k sgd. They also taxed a lot on car price.
All that to fund public transport, which is probably the best in Asia. Owning a car is no longer a need for them. I went there twice, and both time i only need to have a combination of walking, bus, and train.
The first time i went there from Malaysia, i went there by bus and was dropped in Woodland checkpoint because i have absolutely no idea where to go after going through custom, and i was stranded. It took just a bit of google-mapping to know where to take a bus and train, and just like that i'm at my hotel for check in.
Some said they're able to be that good because they're city state, but i wish i have good train and bus service in my city.
