Upgrading of Public Transportation

The naik harga of the petrol issue had been the gossip of almost everyone in the nation. The rise of RM 0.30 per litre of petrol & diesel, is in fact a burden to everyone. On my previous post on this issue, i did mentioned that when the petrol naik harga, the food will naik harga as well. Well, needn't a genius to predict that. In some of the hawkers in Dengkil area, they had already increase their food price by RM 0.30 per dish.

Like our beloved PM had given the reason, the savings on the petrol subsidies was going to improve our public transportation. At first i thought it was total bullshit.

But then again, if you are not someone who make use of our public ttransportation, you wouldn't know the condition they are having. For today's entry on our public tranportation, i'm going to talk about the bus services of Rapid-KL 868.

868

This is a very common view of the bus that most MMU residents will see everytime they wished to go out from Cyberjaya area to a more populated & civilised city. This bus is commonly known as 868.

The reason why Rapid-KL should improve on their quality of service is very obvious. Look at the outer body of the bus. Can you guess the age? How about looking at the interior next.

Broken Glass

This is the rear glass panel of the bus. Not shattered, but cracked. This sure helps in promoting how advanced & developed our country is.

Rubbish

The clealiness is nothing to be proud of either. Rubbish were everywhere despite the fact that a tiny rubbish bin was nearby. Or perhaps the rubbish bin was too tiny to be noticeable?

Air-Conditioning?

So when the floor is full of rubbish, creative people starting stuffing them into the air-conditioning hole. Or maybe they feel the air-conditioning is too cold? Whatever~!~!

Conteng

This is a common scenario when you sit at the back of the bus. The back of the chair is usually a place where the creative minds will take control, and their hands will realized the creative dreams.

Wet Seats

When i was coming back from KTM Serdang to Cyberjaya today, it was raining heavily as soon as i step foot onto the bus. I thought everyone was saved from the pouring rain outside the vehicle but i was wrong. Even the interior of the bus was raining as well. Water can be seen flowing from the roof of the bus, making all the passengers on the right hand side seating area, drenched with god-knows-what-water. I couldn't snap a nice picture of the dripping water, but the chairs were all wet.

Leakage

Folks, so the next time when you took a bus, careful which side of the bus you are sitting at. Caution if you can see the roof of the bus with signs of leakages like this.

With bus condition like this, i hope the RM0.30 per litre subsidies taken away from us will really very well improve the situation. At least give passengers a pleasant ride home, safe & dry.
