ONE is a lonely number, and it is the reason motorists in Punggol are being driven mad.
The new town has just one petrol station and long, snaking queues are common, especially during the weekends.
The Singapore Petroleum Centre (SPC) station at the junction of Punggol Central Road and Edgefield Plains caters to 82,000 residents.
