@AliAhme70978158 Thank you for your honesty. You are afflicted by car-brain, to some degree, along with a big chunk of the Malaysian population. It is curable.

@TranspAccess There are people that walk. But unfortunately mostly would be immigrants. If I see Malaysians walking, I have to suppress this urge to stop and ask them what is the matter, like they need help or something

Dear Malaysian 🇲🇾 planners and leaders.
These are legs.
They are a mode of transport.
English
In cities, prioritise this over cars and motorbikes.
That is all.

Here are some Malaysians using them as a mode of transport.
They are walking. 👣
The path they are on is meant for motorbikes. 🏍️
Next to it is a road dominated by cars. 🚗
You have not given them a proper place to use their legs.
Give them space to use their legs.

RM500mil can buy 11 Intercity EMUs for KTM ETS. It's "baffling" we can spend this much money to appease road users. But buying ETS is "just too much strain on government coffers", so "we need to lease them" (direct nego lak tu) says Ah Loke of @MOTMalaysia
Priorities.

While RapidKL is going trigger happy to cut bus services to turn them into DRT vans, Singapore instead looks to increase new bus services, even going as far to introduce express variants of feeder buses into LRT and MRT stations, which is what we should look into instead:
Ernest is: on transit! 🚌🚇🚅@ErnestOnPT
Not less than a month after gutting 19 bus routes, RapidKL goes on to cut even more bus routes - now targeting long-distance buses like 506 between 1U and Putrajaya and 708 between Klang and Sunway Pyramid without any consultation of the riders that rely on them:

In the Netherlands, cycling and public transport aren’t competitors—they’re teammates. Invest in one, and the other gets stronger.
Nowhere is this clearer than at stations, where every design decision sharpens the bicycle network and makes the door-to-door journey even smoother.

Transit Malaysia has raised concerns over the downgrade of 29 RapidKL bus routes to Rapid-on-Demand DRT services, which coincides with higher DRT fares and its exclusion from unlimited RapidKL passes.
Transit Malaysia says My50 passholders now have to pay an extra RM2 per trip, hitting lower-income commuters the hardest.
“The government’s bus-to-van downgrade decision is regrettable in absence of statistics on unfulfilled DRT trips due to capacity and scheduling issues,” it said.

RapidKL and the gov thinks that DRT is good for you and cities while cutting bus routes to fund the vans
If you had been affected by the bus cuts or want to see more buses instead of DRT vans, I would encourage you to sign the petition in reply to show your opposition in numbers

There were just 38 trains available in recent updates despite being promised 42 in March 2025. This is less than 66% of the original 58 train fleet.
I wonder when the missing 20 trains will re-enter service?

Good article from The Star highlighting a common problem in Malaysia
- poor design, maintenance & operation of transport hubs
- poor interfaces & communication between different modes of transport.
Was Penang Sentral billed as “seamless”? We need a new word “seamlesswashing”.

The end game with the incessant push for DRT services by RapidKL has been revealed: multiple bus routes in Kepong, Sri Kembangan, and Putrajaya to be terminated in less than a week’s notice, with no telling of matching the level of reliability or accessibility previously offered
