rakyat willing to pay more for their bus fares?
to get quality bus driver, need to pay more.
to get better safety bus, need to pay more.
everything cost money.
Last month I took express bus from Kanazawa to Kyoto.
260km, bus stopped twice at R&R, each time 10 minutes.
Every stop, before passengers can go down, bus driver went down to place wheel stoppers on the front wheel.
The ticket cost - RM150 (4 seats per row). Seat got safety belt & power plug.
If Msian bus could charge half the price, I guess the service quality could greatly improve.
But with RON95 at RM2.05, many will feel it's cheaper to drive 260km IF bus ticket gonna cost RM75/pax.
