QUOTE(yslysl @ May 30 2018, 02:18 PM) RUMAWIP cancel too ??? Sure can, if you want Pakatan to loose badly in the next GE.   That one I'm sure they won't touch it, especially those that are dy under-con. Depriving the rakyat of affordable homes is dy bad enough, then you also have to factor in the lawsuits that will come from developers if the former go in that direction in the first place. |

QUOTE(autodriver @ Jun 5 2018, 10:02 AM) MRT3 is a regret but not for HSR coz we can take flight from KL to JB or SG with lower cost. Malaysia budget airlines airfare is affordable to travel around peninsular. While that is true, but that's only part of the reason on why people prefer to use cars over public transport. What about those who don't live and/or work near any LRT/MRT stations? Can you blame them for using their cars to drive to and from work in this situation?Most of the citizens of Malaysia still have the mindset of "owning" car even though they do not need it. One of the top priority wishes of fresh graduate when they enter society is get a job and then "buy car". Those who already have a car to commute to university or college, after graduate they would "upgrade" their level to better car. There are many parents afraid their children find it hard to study, therefore during study time they bought children a car and pay for their petrol and toll as well. Why schooling time they not use to taking pubic transport, after graduate they will definitely won't take public transport. In fact the public buses are around and cover most of the Klang Valley areas but there are many adults feel "shame" of taking public transport to work especially for male. There are many people who are office based workers do not need to drive to work, when reach office the car is parking at basement till they finish work. I guess at least 50% private cars in Malaysia are under utilized where people are paying a depreciate asset and yet not fully utilize it, which mean it is further loss. This culture must change and this must start on educate the young generation to take public transport. I even read comments from those making comparisons between parking at the Park N'Ride + LRT/MRT and parking at the open carpark and most agree that the latter is the cheaper option. Even better when companies provide some form of subsidy when you park inside the building they're based in. Best will be where carpark is dy provided and you don't need to pay a single cent for it (if you work in the industrial sector, that is). With the above scenarios, I'm not surprised why they'd rather drive than take the public transport. Of course, if you live and work near a public transport, then be thankful for that and take advantage of it to skip the peak hour gridlock.

QUOTE(ManutdGiggs @ Jun 5 2018, 09:53 PM) Buses nowadays are unlike mini bus decades ago. Those mentality n working attitude of hoping to work onli 3.5 days with 3.6k starting salary ll onli drag us further backward. No chansi to move forward at all. Btw v r oledi 20yrs behind time ya. I didn't know such mentality exist in M'sia. Thought that the 4 working days/week proposed by workers unions in some European countries are dy stretching it. It's OK. Not to worry too much as malaisial is so darn rich til bank couldn't afford to keep anymore money tat v hav to keep cashi in condo.  QUOTE(jimmyng @ Jun 5 2018, 09:58 PM) Or we can just opt to cycle to work ^^ That's a good idea, if the pavements/sidewalks are constructed and maintained properly, but based on my experience driving around KL city, I sometimes see them badly maintained and there are roads where you'll see none at all, forcing you to cycle on the road.Then you also have to factor in the rain.  |

QUOTE(nexona88 @ Jun 7 2018, 11:17 PM) yeah. I think.. Merdeka MRT... I don't use the public transport often as my workplace is not near one (and I don't live near one either), but I have taken it a few times and do recall a few interchanges to the MRT such as Maluri and Pasar Seni. Won't that be more convenient compared to walking 1km plus all the way to that Merdeka MRT station from Plaza Rakyat LRT? damn.. the walk is sooooo long.... everyday walk is enough / good for health already   |

QUOTE(AskarPerang @ Jun 16 2018, 04:28 PM) So meaning that MRT ticket fare is too expensive? Under the previous administration, they raise the toll price, but at the same time, raise the public transportation rates to make up for the construction costs for the MRT lines and the LRT extensions. The latter shouldn't be raised at all if the gov't wanted to encourage ppl to use them.Free = many ppl Need to pay = below average crowd I wonder if the Pakatan administration will correct this by lowering the public transportation rates back to the earlier price. I hope that will be possible, but judging by the RM 1 trillion debt hanging over the heads of this administration, I doubt it will be anytime soon. |
