Thank you Mr PM for taking time off your hectic schedule to try to understand how much hassle common folks like us need to get thru when we take public transport to work.
But sir, what took you so long? And what measures will be taken to improve the public transport infrastructure? Or is it going to be another of your great promises that will not see the day - ?
Anyway u are right when you say this - “I just saw the plight of people using the trains to get to work every morning. They were jostling to get on board every time a train arrived. There appeared to be no system.
The thing is There never was any system for our public transportation! If there was - we will never have the need for Proton cars isnt it?
Our train or LRT system have always operated in silo since inception. It was widely documented in blogs about the not so integrated LRT Msians have becos the contract of building it has to be awarded to a few different parties whose sole interest is to recoup their investment not to facilate the creation of a world class transport infrastructure for the PEOPLE. - maybe u have not heard this one-eh.. since only today you "saw the plight of the people".... where have u been sir?
And yes Mr PM - you are right about the "there's no queue - " part. Apparently commuters in KL dont believe in queues. Not for train and not for bus.
But in train station and LRT which is easier to control - why cant they have station master who will ensure that commuter queue up? Why dont they put in educational materials and make periodic announcement over the air to ask patrons to queue?
But then again - have a look at this pix courtesy of thestar online. Isnt that the yellow line fellow passengers are stepping over? And our PM is smiling for the camera....
