• Why the horrendous traffic congestion today?
• Long term failure of Govt’s transport policies and their implementation by agencies e.g. CVLB, JPJ, Puspakom.
• Promoting cars and neglecting public transport; favouring corporate cronies.
#
• 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
#
• 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
