they should make more covered side walks, large enough that plenty of people can use them without crowding issues, no puddles, and with good CCTV and patrolmen for security

If I can think of this, why can't Tony Pua?

They use combination of good hardware (camera) and software (facial recognition) and did well as you said. Feels scary and it can invade people's privacy, but it is China we are talking about here

Privacy and security are exclusive to each other, you can lean towards one or compromise, but you can't have both.

Yeap, Tony Pua taking the easy route. it is much harder to plan for the things that I said than to just ask uber to start ferrying the passengers which is really a dumb area.

Im not impressed with Tony Pua for this.

haha I turned your words around.

No need cakap berlapik la, feeder bus is a huge blackhole eating govt's money. The fare probably can't even cover the diesel cost alone. And each bus costs hundreds of thousands of ringgit, you're looking at a E-keras, 5-series everytime you see a Volvo bus Jom naik MRT. Maintenance also much higher, koyak la govt's pocket.

So he wants Grab to replace the role of feeder bus, let someone else pay for car, maintenance etc.

public transportation is always a money-losing venture. it helps the country to have cheap public transportation though. btw, why isn't Anthony Loke the transportation minister handling this "logistics" issue?

MRT is under min of finance if im not mistaken. Tony Pua is "special officer" for LGE

So he thinks he's in charge. Btw why the hell is MRT under min of finance. Change to Anthony Loke's ministry laaaaah

But in Malaysian context, bus is the worst money-losing venture. Railway not as terrible, I've heard LRT was even making profit, even since before the fare was raised a year or two ago, kampung2005 may be able to answer this better.

Bus, no way la, collect rm1, 2, diesel cost also can't cover. Yet, the govt is the one having to bear all the costs.

And why not Anthony Loke? Because Prasarana is owned by MoF, and Tony Pua works in it. Anthony Loke doesn't sign the chequebook, he can argue to keep feeder bus or hold discussion with Grab, but MoF as the one who spends the money would rather him look into other more cost effective option.

You know that people who ride LRT are complaining that the fees are expensive right? if you squeeze the middle income (who use these public transportation networks) you squeeze the working class.
