Free shuttle bus pilot project to start in Bandar Seri Sendayan
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/sear...2&hl=en&ct=clnkA free minibus pilot project in a new housing area will be carried out in Bandar Seri Sendayan, Seremban, soon.
Negri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said the pilot project will be a guide for other developers to provide the same services for house buyers.
“We were informed that the developer has purchased five buses recently,” he told reporters.
He said that the buses will ferry residents to the land office, the main bus terminal in town and the KTM station.
On June 6, The Malaysian Insider reported that developers of housing projects in Negri Sembilan had been urged to provide minibuses for the convenience of residents and greater connectivity to a designated drop off point where public transport was available.
“The state government will assist developers to get the permit from the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD),” he said.
Mohamad said that a decision would be made later on how many buses were needed in a particular housing area, based on the size of the area and population.
“We will start first it here first, then others can follow,” he added.
He said the service provided by developers could either ferry residents to a main bus stop, from where stage buses will take over or directly to the main bus station in town or train station.
“Should they chose to drop residents to a main bus stop near the housing area, the state government will set up a bus stop at the entrance of the residential area,” he said.
From there, he informed SPAD buses will take residents to the main bus terminal or train station.
“It is the developer’s responsibility, they have made money, now they must provide after sale services,” he stressed.
Meanwhile, Matrix Concepts Holdings Berhad when contacted confirmed the news.
A spokesperson for the developer in Bandar Seri Sendayan, however, said stops and the date the service would commence had not been decided yet.
“We have not finalised the details at this point, but yes the buses have been bought,” he said.
He added that a meeting will be held on Monday, after which more details will be revealed. – July 2, 2015.
