🚗 BRUNEI NO. 2 IN THE WORLD IN CAR OWNERSHIP? 🇧🇳
Did you know that Brunei is the 2nd highest country in the world in terms of the number of cars owned relative to the population?

For every 1,000 inhabitants:
🥇 Puerto Rico – 895 cars
🥈 Brunei Darussalam – 791 cars
🥉 Luxembourg – around 790 cars

For comparison:
🇲🇾 Malaysia – around 417 cars per 1,000 inhabitants
🇮🇩 Indonesia – around 59 cars per 1,000 inhabitants

This means that Brunei has almost 1 car for every inhabitant, a very high figure when compared to most other countries in the world.

The main factors contributing to this situation include relatively low fuel prices, a good road network and the people’s reliance on private vehicles due to limited public transport.

The question is, is this large number of vehicles a sign of progress and ease of living, or does it indicate that Brunei still needs a more efficient public transport system for the future?

I wonder how much is due to that one man and his 5000 car garage.
