Hindustan TimesSingapore, long touted as the world’s most expensive city, is often associated with high cost of living, pristine public spaces and great public transport. She said it was “insane” to see how restaurants in Mumbai are just as expensive as those in Singapore, despite the wide economic disparity between the two cities. Like Singapore was just as/very slightly more expensive as most restaurants in Bandra and that's absolutely insane,” she wrote on X. Singapore vs Mumbai Singapore has consistently topped global surveys on cost of living, competing with cities like New York and London. “It's because of the inequality that even little things like grabbing a coffee from a cafe is a ‘luxury’ that costs 450 rupees while most of us don't make as much as our developed country counterparts to make these expenses make sense,” X user Subi wrote.
