BlueSG — Car Sharing for the Masses

When BlueSG first came on the scene in late 2017, I thought it was a model doomed to fail. Costing between 0.33 to 0.5 cents per minute, it felt like a total rip-off compared to hourly car rental services such as Smove and TribeCar.

Paya Lebar Region: The Burgeoning Hub of the East

In the early 2000s, the area around Upper Paya Lebar Road and Paya Lebar Road (which we shall now refer to as the Paya Lebar region for simplicity’s sake) was Singapore’s equivalent of a chaotic mess, with major road diversions, temporary roads and the terrible traffic that ensued, all in the name of development.
