No worries, mini buses will find a way to squeeze through, believed me ya.

This is the worst thing that can happen to public transport. Back in the 80s, Penang used to have pretty efficient public transport. Buses would pass by certain routes on schedule, mostly hourly.

Then these "free market" buses came along. It was a nightmare. Drivers sitting in half full buses waiting for more passengers, refusing to move. Outside of peak hours, forget about taking buses.

The Gerakan led Penang state govt back then had to beg Pak Lah to bring in Rapid Penang to save the public transport system.

Huh? You do know that minibus are super efficient. They are the real express bus and a lot of people like to take them because you can reach destinations a lot faster.

They were phased out because our government had a great idea to park all transportation into prasarana instead of regulating the private bus operators. Tun M punya great crony ideas.

Origins when all private bus companies were phased out and the new buses under prasarana came out, everyone love them as they were major upgrade compared to minibuses and private bus companies but after there were no competition, everything became worse.

what happened to this rapidkl mini bus?

That isn't a mini bus either.

We are talking about the mini buses specially the ones that plied the routes between KL to it's surrounding suburbs

You are so hard up on proving who rode and didn't ride on it until colour scheme also come out Kek. Got prize is it?

And no. I don't subscribe to cronyism that doomed the mini busses in KL and ushered in the Intrakota

Complaints were too many especially safety.

I reply to you based on what you reply to me chief

But my reply to you was chief. Cos it wasn't a mini bus.

But I also don't know why colour scheme and badge of honor for riding mini bus came out kek

Yup fair point

Another pitfall of free enterprise I guess

But mini busses plying the city to suburbs route never bothered to wait. Unlike the bigger bas kilang size counterparts that plied the longer routes. Downtown to Cheras, Hulu Langat and also Rawang. Their problem was overloading and speeding

So its possible for mini busses to solve some of our problems provided there are oversight
