Transport

Motor Vehicle Population under Vehicle Quota System

LTA (Land Transport Authority)

Figures include weekend/off peak cars and tax exempted vehicles.

Prior to Aug 2012, taxi operators can bid for a new COE or pay Prevailing Quota Premium (PQP) to register a taxi under Category A. The latter is only in the case of a new taxi that replaces a deregistered one within 6 months.

From 6 Aug 2012 onwards, all taxis pay for COEs based on the PQP of Category A. Vehicles exempted from the VQS include scheduled and school buses, emergency vehicles, engineering plants primarily for off-the-road use, diplomatic vehicles and vehicles under the Disabled Person Scheme.

Cars registered with COEs obtained from the Feb 2014 1st bidding exercise onwards:

Category A: Cars up to 1600cc and 97kW
Category B: Cars above 1600cc or 97kW

Cars registered with COEs obtained before Feb 2014 bidding exercises:

Category A: Cars up to 1600cc
Category B: Cars above 1600cc
