Public transport

I rumbling myself, sometimes in front of my wife every time we went out to KL. or JB. or even Seremban. It's because of our public transport system. I, can be categorized as criticize-obsess type of people. Especially for the things most people is regularly used. Toilet for example. Or bus stops. Or bus station. Or urban road system. Almost everything.

For me, to measure the country's corruption index is by observing their public transport system. It's tail-to-toe concept. Or we can call it a domino theory. Or like a dog chasing a tail. It's crawling. Like a chaining system. How can I elaborate this ?. hmm

Ok, let see this stupid assuption. Corruption politicians need money. Of course corruption big time is about money. To makes money running into their own pockets, they have to create projects. To create project, they have to launch a project. Easy project to make big money is, by developing a road. Or a modern call - highway. Highway from A to B. Give it named 'people projects'. Or 'wawasan project'. Or 'my foot project'. Call a press conferences instead. And open the tender. Then call for friends or peers to be a contractor. Or at least submit their application for tender. Name it open tender if you prefer but your peers still on top of lists. Declare the project with an initial investment of 2bil so on so forth. After it finished, build a TOL. And charge the people. And again, named it as 'for maintenance purposes'. So, money comes from 2 ways. Commision or fees. And TOL. Is it make sense. If not, then ask Samy. Ha ha

Again, launch the other highway. From B to C. Open the tender. Declare the initial costs. Call press conference. Label it again in the name of people. Put your preferred one on top of lists. Call Indon's to build. Than setup the TOL.

Then, launch highway C to D..bla..bla..bla..

The most corruption country is the country that have most highways in the city. People notice the highways instead of the garden.

Then what's more.

Again, honor your friends with AP. Ha ha. Encourage them to sell a car. Rubbish car is more preffered. Cherry ?. Amoi ?. Bewok ?. Atoi ?..Potong ?..Ha ha ha I know potong is made by us at Kg Tualang Baru Mahjong Perak...Charge 300% tariff. And bank, that also the politicians-proxy are the most for their major stakeholders will open the policy. Allow loaner to loan their money for 99 years. If possible then 100 years. Peoples have to go everywhere. They need transport instead of their own leg. No choice ?. Then apply for loan and get Cherry..ha ha..Not afford to buy Scoda ?. Because you're not so hard work.

So at the end, our road system is messy. Dirty and chaos. Where is the train ?. or bus ?. articulated bus (dreamed it buddy)?

Build a transport system is costly. So expensive. I dont have figures but I think if you build a track between Damansara and Cheras, you can save billions of ringgit for the next 10 years to just to build confused-huge-ugly even land eater of highways. And moreover, peoples can reach a home earlier through the right place of stop station. If you can build a track from Sg Besi to Cyberjaya, peoples along the Sri Kembangan, Puchong, Kinrara, Bkt Jalil or even Serdang, Cheras also get in touch, instead of long and hugh highway KL-Putrajaya with only 4 main doors. Even the highway is build across of your roof at Bkt Jalil or Kinrara, you could not even reach them to go to Putrajaya instead of to take a risk to find the way out. I nearly get accident just tyring to reach the highway at Bkt Jalil. What are so pathetic.

Highway is not a problem indeed. But if we could connect all public system with a proper places, we actually don't need a car by the way. And its cheap too.

Today, if you went to KL by car and stuck regularly in traffic jam after the Sg Besi highways, it still cheaper and saver then the train you took by from Serdang.

Public transport is cheap. That's why it's been built by most civilized country. And if it's still cheap, don't dream it will get strengthen here. Our politicians doesn't like the term of cheap anyway. And public transport mostly is for Indons. And it's too doesn't going to fulfill their pockets faster.

So, happy driving..
