The transport sector remains one of the main sources of carbon emissions in most countries and road transport accounted for more than 16.5% of global carbon emissions in 2011. The urgent need to develop sustainable low-carbon urban transport systems particularly in Asia will face the challenge of increasing motorization following population growth and economic development in the coming decades to 2050. This paper makes a comparison of the transport sector development and policy in Hong Kong and Singapore. Their relative performance will be determined qualitatively and quantitatively to understand the impacts of transportation policies over the past decades. Policy lessons to develop a sustainable transport system drawn from the experience of Hong Kong and Singapore will be put forth to conclude.
