The headline is technically incorrect. Cars will still be added as long as an equal number of cars are removed.

Bloomberg has also updated its headline to read: "Singapore Will Stop Increasing Car Numbers From February 2018"




Well, technically technically it is correct. Replacing isn't adding. The total number will stay the same


I stand corrected. Let my modify my original statement by saying that 'adding' seems to imply that no new cars will be allowed in Singapore. Which, of course, isn't true.

My concern was that without reading the article, few people may know that in Singapore, most cars are usually removed (retired) from road use after 10 years.

In other words, I think 'stop increasing' sums up the situation better than 'stop adding'.
