The light rail transit system commuters in Kuala Lumpur using the Kelana Jaya line are a hardy lot. Yesterday was the umpteenth time the service had a malfunction during the peak morning hours. The commuters try to heed the government’s call to use the public transportation system in their daily lives and in return are rewarded with the sloppy and shoddy service. Kuala Lumpur’s traffic headache will never end as long as the so called public transportation system does not rise to the occasion. Most probably those behind the master plan for a better public transportation system have not themselves used the available system at the moment. They would never realize the frustrations and the time wasted for all the frequent hiccups that occur almost daily. No wonder KLites still prefer to use their own cars to go from point A to point B despite the hefty increase in fuel, parking fees and toll rates.
No political will power, no properly thought out plans, every solution seems to be on an ad hoc basis. This saga will never end.
