The public/users’ voice will be unlikely to be heard unless we get organised into a strong force-so then politicians will only ignore us at their own peril. Public transport users in Penang and KL have at long last started to organise ourselves-more are welcome to join in the movement for a people friendly public transports.

If you lament the limited reach of these groups-consider the impact of a printed paper with 5000-10 000 circulation distributed to Public transport users in a city? (Pg’s PT users 50k, KL 800K) That had been done in Penang-and can be done in all relevant cities/part of cities in Malaysia. There is no law against such single issue publications!

Dare to change,

Ong BK

Surely Malaysian planners & engineers have done their home work in predicting capacity. Someone or group is getting rich while the public suffers.

Accountability: What is the mechanism to allow an average person exercising his rights and be heard? For if there is a credible way for all the voices of the frustrated and underserved be heard, then there can be a stronger pressure towards improvement. Currently only certain groups who are internet savvy, and conversant in BM/English are able to write and communicate. How do we do this?

KL is not the only place with transit issue: Johor, Penang, Kuching(especially), KK. Not local nor tourist friendly at all.
