520 |a Singapore's urban planning initiatives have garnered great interest from onlookers in the transportation and planning domains in the past twenty years (Vasoo and Lee, 2001). The government has implemented a number of schemes, such as congestion pricing (Santos, 2005) and high tariffs for automobiles (May, 2004), that have encouraged residents to use public transportation. According to the 2008 Household Interview Travel Survey (HITS), (LTA, 2008) 64% of peak AM trips (eg, travel to work, school, and morning errands) used public transit in 2008. In comparison, in the US, New York City ranks highest in public transportation rates (55% of commuters), followed by Washington, DC at 38% (US Census Bureau, 2008-12).
