I took feeder bus to MRT recently. The buses are definitely more comfortable than the old buses or minibus. I think even better than the old intrakota buses. The only problem is frequency as the bus is running every 30 mins. If not chasing time like go to work, then I don’t mind taking feeder buses as the bus stop is right in front of my house. For now, still prefer to drive to stations and take train but I am not even in Malaysia now 😝

btw, you can actually use the PULSE apps to check the bus schedule and monitor the bus location in real time



today, all you need is a hp and touch and go card

Two important factors making busses viable as last mile transport.

1) Less than 10mins walk for any passengers to a bus station.
2) Intervals of less than 10mins

So the issue is not only about number of busses. Does our city planners have proper connectivity plans and infrastructure to make it a viable mode for people?

Who would even consider public transport of a 15mins journey becomes 1 hour?

no, the app bus location is ETA, not real time. the bus might be late due to jam, or not running at all due to breakdown, etc. For some high volume area, pasarana try to maintain some service level with 'asal ada bas sampai' attitude, but for some local housing T routes, waiting for bus is a pain because you will never know if it is coming or not, or take short taxi ride, walk, etc.

PULSE just set countdown based on a bus schedule, every few X-mins depend on the route. if you really use the app and waiting for ride, you will be very disappointed, or just read the app reviews.

and the pulse app routing is stupid, not optimized. You will get much better routes on googlemaps. if you hate your friends, recommend the PULSE app, then blame everything on rapidkl.

I think you need to lower your expectations. Intervals of less than 10 mins is not likely. If a round trip is 1 hour, a 10 minute interval will mean 6 buses servicing that route.

15 mins by car does not include the time and hassle to hunt for a parking lot. You do not have to park a bus lol.

The newer townships have proper pedestrian walkways, but very few have it as nice as Sinjiapor.

many malaysians especially bangsar bubbles are hypocrite bastards

they want cheap petrol, cheap car, cheap parking around town and expect the roads belong to them like during PKP

make noise about public transport but actually clueless like F and never bother to try one

u can see lots of them in this thread
ask yourself, when was the last time u try the free GOKL bus?

I’ll be honest. I do take the free Selangor bus from Lotus Puchong to Pyramid regularly. I take LRT from Giant BK to Lotus LRT as well.
I seldom take the monorail or MRT axis I seldom travel to KL. Hated the jams plus most of what I need are around me.

I did take the ETS every fortnightly when I was working in Batu Gajah and Taiping for almost 4 years. Parked in Taiping ETS parking or Batu Gajah ETS parking.
Nowadays, due to covid, I cut down on my public transportation and public window shopping. Have not gone for movies since almost 3+ years since the onset of Covid. Trying to go this time for the flash movie.
I’m all for an efficient public transportation especially rail. Hate to take a plane for a 1 hour flight and at least 2 hours preparation and what-nots. If rail, can arrive 30 mins before and voila! And more freedom when taking the rail.

It is to encourage more people to take public transport and reduce the jams.

Don't do anything about public transport, complain.

Now trying something, also complain!
