That's not quite true - it is alleged by ONE report to be one of the world's least polluted cities; the report by "Airport parking & hotels" compared "The research for the Air Quality Index and temperature in each of the cities in the study was collected for APH between 12pm and 1pm GMT on 6 October 2015" - hardly an in depth" piece of research? What it proves is highly debatable

 

It is quite true.  It wasn't "alleged", it was substantiated and there were no reports following it's publication doubting it's veracity or suggesting further debate.

"BTS/MRT...pricing is out of reach for low income earners."

But you reckon that those same low income earners can afford to run around in cars instead?

 

well I'm talking about those who usually take motorcycles / buses to work ....affording a car or not...we all know the answer - but its same for any country, everyone dreams of owning a car and take out loans to do so, same for houses

I think you need to learn how to evaluate and analyse a source - firstly you might look at who produced this one and the  sample and duration they looked at......but frankly it isn't worth discussing if your approach is that naive..

 

io guess your first step is to realise that just because it has "report" next to it, doesn't mean it's true.

it isn't just fuel, it is man hours too.....think of the amount of money these people are being paid just to sit in a car/truck whatever or lost earnings by others etc.
