today?

policies and their implementation by
agencies e.g. CVLB, JPJ, Puspakom.

• We are Car dependant citizens.
• We buy and maintain private motor
vehicles as a necessity, despite the cost.
• town planning culture has been based on
the lack of good public transport.
• Road widening, creating one way streets
and more on-street car parking for cars.
• Our car-dependant population is created
by a pro-car urban environment
• Costs of sustaining infrastructure for
increasing private traffic far outweigh that
of subsidizing PT
42. #
• Address obstacles to efficient public
transport system
• Solve traffic bottlenecks along the
routes
• on-street parking space for dedicated
bus lanes.
• Ensure punctuality, essential in
promoting switch in transport modes
• Bicycles, Trishaws & Padestrian
• Create cycle lanes and parking facilities.
• Better maps, signage, better designed
bus stops & GPS systems
