SINGAPORE: Singapore launched its first large-scale electric car-sharing programme through which the land-scarce city-state hopes to provide commuters with more transport options and steer them away from the need to buy their own cars.
The service, which will be run for a decade by BlueSG, a unit of France's Bollore Group, is a part of Singapore's plans to reduce the number of vehicles on its roads and encourage the use of public transport.
