Did they spend 2.2RM for a ride???Originally posted by BlessingSatan:Not forgetting in Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru where i've experienced waiting 1hr 25mins/1hr 30mins respectively for the public buses .
Did they proclaim a 'World Class Transporter'???
In Singapore, we are discouraged from owning cars, did they do that in Malaysia? -

It is just an examples from my experiences.
C'mon friend,Sg in too small while Malaysia is consider big.So at least a car is a must for each family.You think that the Malaysian Government would want to deploy bus services to all the areas?
Of course not every countries would proclaim a "world class tpt" title,And land transportation is very unpredictable unlike rail systems which mostly do not have congestions and let alone stuck in the floods incidents!

AFAIK, in Los Angeles, I had the experience of waiting AN HOUR for a bus. If life in Singapore were so ideal everyone would be very happy, obviously. But this world is NOT perfect. Get over it.Originally posted by iamgoondu:If I have not been to Texas, Austin, I would accept your words. However that's not true!!!
In Austin, all public buses have bus arrival time stated in all bus stops! Though most buses have an average of frequency of 30 minutes, they are very punctual (+/- 2 minute).
What's more, a monthly pass of USD15, allows you unlimited rides in all buses!!! And all buses have 2 bicycle racks at the front and back of buses, for commuters to ride with their bicycles.
Moreover, when buses are packed halfway through, the bus captains will radio their HQ, and HQ will dispatch another empty bus to continue the former route! I am really impressed.
Of course I have to admit, in Austin their sales tax is 7%. And 0.5% (if I remember correctly), are used to subsidise bus companies.
In Singapore, though SBST200 had stated bus arrival time in all bus stops, the bus arrival time may still be irregular (+/- 10 minutes).
It's irresponsible to say that the American waited up to an hour for buses. At least it's not true for Texas, Austin. If you work for bus companies, do spend a study trip in Austin!
