That is correct which is why you see so many of them in this profession. Monies earned to feed car and at same time enjoy car convenience. Also I think PHV is only for local and PR hmmm. Just take note don't kena accident else gg liao

I ask before one of my army friend who work as PHV full time not those " got full time job than work PHV as part time etc type "
he told me hit 3k is easily but I never ask him in depth he spend how many hours on the road.
I also ask him how the system go , he just told me sit there automatic will have passenger want to take a ride.

.
Would you believe Singapore, one of the richest countries in the world with majority population cannot afford to own a car?
People suffer serious deprivation
Owning a Car is one of basic necessities, not luxury.

heard at Dubai is a lot own Supercar till now is Show off car plate , some car plate numbers etc are even worth than 2 super cars value.
Side note on your question, the Main reason is our Country SG is SMALL . Is quite unrealistic , un effective if car easily owned.
Like that the roads will be jam cannot move. Now even COE expensive , also got traffic jam etc ' this one i feel is due to lots of PHV " beside car owners.
