Rajiv for Malaysia

Traffic situation is very bad not only in Subang Jaya, but in Puchong and Seri Kembangan, practically in the whole of MPSJ. As long as people have to rely on private vehicles, I don't see much room for improvement. There is no choice but to roll out an efficient public transport network.

Having the private sector and market forces lead this has not worked out, only some profitable routes are covered, but most of MPSJ is not covered by public transport as recommended by the NKRA.

There must be a masterplan to remedy this, and

a) does SPAD have plans to produce this masterplan

b) Will MPSJ have to produce the masterplan on its own

The current public transport providers currently flout the law regularly. Examples are

a) taxis not using the meter

b) taxis waiting at "hotspots" which are not taxi stands, causing congestion

c) buses not stopping in designated bus stops, and often stopping at traffic junctions, causing congestion

d) buses do not follow schedules

e) buses that are not kept in decent conditions

MPSJ doesn't have the power to act on any of the above offences. We would like to know what SPAD has in mind to tackle these issues. We would like to work together on these matters.

Infrastructures such as bus stop, bus parking area, hubs, etc require local council input and cooperation. We recognize that. But we lack info on where we should build bus stops, etc as the providers previously deal with CVLB and not at all with us. It would be great is we are constantly kept in the loop on routes, etc so we can assist in providing the necessary infrastructure.

Our bus stops lack public information on bus routes, and timing. If SPAD can provide us this information, we would put it up for the benefit of public, and I believe this will do some good in encouraging public transport usage.
