To own a car in Singapore, a buyer must bid for a certificate that now costs $106,000, equivalent to four Toyota Camry Hybrids in the U.S., as a post-pandemic recovery has driven up the cost of the city-state's vehicle quota system to all-time highs.

    Presumably because they don’t apply to taxis. Singapore definitely has a licensing system, don’t ask me for details.
