another cab, another conversation

Cab driver: Around three years ago, there were hardly any jams along the expressways at this hour...

Me: Eh? How come??

C.d.: Because COE has dropped so much, more people buy cars. That's why more jams!

Me: OH.. I see...

C.d.: Price of COE now $2... last time $10, 000!

Me: REALLY???!!
Either I'm very gullible or I'm just not updated about current affairs. I'd rather think that I'm the latter. Anyway, taxi fares are not what they used to be. From my place (in Jurong) to Millenia Walk, it cost me twenty bucks! There was a time it didn't even hit $12 or $14... sigh.
