By By Syed Umar Arif


THE new RM1 million Imbi express bus terminal will start operating from Jan 15, Commercial Vehicles Licensing board chairman Datuk Raja Ahmad Zainuddin Raja Omar said today. Express bus companies, including those servicing the Singapore route, would be using the terminal, which is located in Pasar Rakyat.

Intrakota Sdn Bhd and Putra Liner would also pick up and drop passengers at the terminal, Raja Ahmad said after inspecting the bus terminal.

Express bus companies Transnasional, Park May, Nice and Gunung Raya Express would also use the terminal, he said.

Among the new facilities provided in the terminal, are food courts, post office, surau and a playground, said its managing director Steve Wong.

Pasar Rakyat bus station

By FARRIS BAHAROM


WITH the latest addition of Hentian Bas Pasar Rakyat, the city now boasts five express bus terminals catering to destinations throughout the country.

Finding your way onto the right bus with minimum hassle is often a challenge, but in certain cases, long queues and crowds need not be the case as several alternatives are available to travellers heading out of town on the average day. However, travelling during long weekends and holidays can still prove to be a challenge.

Whenever travelling by bus comes to mind, the first destination most city dwellers have in mind is inevitably the Puduraya Bus Terminal.




http://metro.thestar.com.my/news/2004/2/p2hentian.JPG

Hentian Bas Jalan Pekeliling in Jalan Pekeliling Lama is the most accessible to pedestrians as it is convenient to get there by bus, taxi, LRT and even the KL Monorail.







Over 30 bus companies operate from Puduraya, which is also the city’s largest public transportation terminal.

The terminal is easily reached via the Star LRT (Plaza Rakyat station), taxi or city buses.

Recent directives from the Commercial Vehicle Licensing Board (CVLB) have reduced the number of buses at the station’s 29 platforms at any one time, reducing traffic congestion, with slight changes to passengers’ pick-up and drop off points.






http://metro.thestar.com.my/news/2004/2/p2duta.JPG

Lack of public transport to get passengers to the city centre is the only drawback of the Hentian Duta station, located near the Tun Razak Hockey Stadium.







Puduraya still caters to all destinations to the north, south and west, and tickets are still readily available here despite speculation that more bus services would be diverted to other terminals, which has yet to happen.

Hentian Duta, located next to the Tun Razak Hockey Stadium (near the Jalan Duta roundabout), is now fully operational and provides complementary bus services mirroring that of Puduraya.

Since last May, the ticket counters of Transnasional, Genting and Airport Coach buses (hourly buses to KLIA,) have been joined by 28 other bus companies catering to routes to the north and south, providing passengers an alternative to Puduraya.

Ample parking space inside and outside the bus terminal make it a convenient pick-up point for those receiving relatives from out of town. However, those travelling by themselves will find that taxis are the only convenient way into the city.





http://metro.thestar.com.my/news/2004/2/p3puduraya.JPG

Buses queueing to enter the Puduraya terminal.







The lack of public transportation into the city centre is the only drawback to an otherwise comfortable and accessible terminal.

Many passengers said they preferred to board their buses at Hentian Duta but would still choose to disembark at Puduraya on their return journey, especially if they were scheduled to arrive at night.

A food court is open at the station during the day, as are several shops and newsstands.


Hentian Bas Putra, opposite the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) provides bus services to the east coast including Kerteh, Dungun and Kuala Terengganu in Tereng-ganu, and Gua Musang, Pasir Mas and Kota Baru in Kelantan.

Buses to destinations in Pahang (Kuantan) can also be boarded here.

Facilities for passengers here include a waiting lounge, baggage lockers, a food court, public toilets and a multi-level car park.

Buses and taxis are a convenient way to get to the terminal, which can also be reached via the KTM Komuter (Putra station) and Star-LRT (PWTC station).

Hentian Bas Jalan Pekeliling in Jalan Pekeliling Lama is conveniently located between the KL Monorail and Star-LRT Titiwangsa stations.

Taxis also ply this route regularly, making it the most accessible bus terminal in the city for pedestrians.

The terminal is used to provide bus services to destinations in Pahang such as Kuantan, Raub, Kuala Lipis, Temerloh, with limited buses to Terengganu.

Facilities at this terminal are limited to hawker stalls selling refreshments and a City Hall public toilet.

Launched last month, Hentian Bas Pasar Rakyat is expected to begin operations sometime next month, though a definite date has yet to be announced.

Located between Pasar Rakyat and the food court in Jalan Imbi, the city’s newest bus terminal boasts 64 ticket counters (located on the top floor of Pasar Rakyat,) and 18 bus lanes.

Plans are afoot to raise the number of bus lanes to 60 when the terminal begins operations, if the need arises.

The bus terminal has been designed with passenger comfort in mind as its facilities include food courts and a children’s playground.

The bus terminal, which will service routes to all destinations in the country, is aimed at reducing congestion at other main bus terminals.

Express bus terminal in Meru
By ELAN PERUMAL
Thursday July 7, 2005




The express bus terminal in North Klang will be relocated to Meru.

The terminal which is currently located at Jalan Lintang Batu Tiga will be housed at a permanent complex at the Klang Central project in Meru which is being developed by the Titijaya Group.

Council president Abdul Bakir Zin said the bus terminal complex would also be provided with stands for local buses plying the Meru and Kapar routes.

He said the council had not made decisions on the design and the cost of the complex.

Currently, he said, the express bus terminal was situated at a congested part of the town and its relocation had been long overdue.

“The condition of the present express bus terminal is not conducive as it is located on open ground at a temporary site.

“We believe commuters and the staff of the express bus companies will be more comfortable once the new complex is ready while it will also help to ease traffic congestion at the present site,'' he said.

However, Bakir said, the council had not decided on whether it intended to undertake the project on its own or through privatisation.

He said they were considering several options including a possible joint venture.

“We are studying all possibilities before deciding on who should build and manage the terminal,'' he said.

Nationwide Bus Stop To Spend RM212 Mln On New Concept Bus Terminals
Updated : 01-08-2005
Media : Bernama




Nationwide Bus-Stop Sdn Bhd, a company established to handle public transportation in the country, expects to spend about RM212 million to build a new concept, people-friendly bus stations in the next five years.

During the period, a total of 850 bus terminals would be built nationwide and they would involve 1,700 entrepreneurs, said the company's director of public relations and communications, Alimat Baba.

He said that two-storey bus stations would comprise type A, B and C and would measure 40X20 ft, 40X15 ft and 40X10 ft and would cost between RM200,000 and RM300,000 per terminal.

"The interesting concept about the terminals would be that we would build and manage. The local authorities would only determine the locations," Alimat told Bernama here Monday.

Besides that, Nationwide Bus would also offer advisory services and guidance to the entrepreneurs (tenants) at the terminal towards making the terminal a tourist attraction as well.

He said that the bus stops would have added value to their services such as being an air-conditioned, closed area for people waiting to take their buses, while being a special trading area for small businesses as well.

The terminal would be easy to manage, "look good" and be also consumer friendly besides having two separate wash areas and prayer places for men and women, he said.

Specially ordered thick glass walls from the United Kingdom and steel structures would be used for building the bus stations.

The ground floor would be the waiting area for buses. Another area would be specially allocated for retail shops and the top floor would be used to house the office or for the carrying out a single type of a business, Alimat said.

He said a reasonable and affordable rate of rent would be charged.

"Nationwide Bus took more than half a year to come up with the design for the terminal and patented it. We would be also introducing the concept in Saudi Arabia end of this year," he said.

Todate, the Melaka government has approved the building of 10 units of the bus stations this year, while Selangor has approved 80 units to be built next year.

He said the proposal to build the people-friendly bus stops had been presented to the Johor state government, Pulau Pinang, Perak and Terengganu. The response from them has been positive, he said.

Positive response to MPK move

THE LACK of a proper bus terminal in North Klang is causing a lot inconvenience to the public in this part of the royal town.

Commuters, bus company operators and traders who had been operating around the North Klang bus terminal at Jalan Pos Baru have been facing difficulties since the building was destroyed in a fire two years ago.

The complex, which also housed one of the town’s first shopping centres, Great Wall, was also a landmark for the area.

More than 50 licensed petty traders have been affected by the situation.

Last month, the council under the leadership of new president Abdul Bakir Zin demolished the structure of the former terminal complex with the aim of rebuilding it.

StarMetro quoted Abdul Bakir as saying that the bus terminal will be retained at the former site to continue to serve as a venue for the traders.

His statement also brought relief to commuters and traders who had been given the impression that the bus terminal would be relocated to the Klang Central project at Jalan Meru.

“We need a bus terminal at the original site to keep the town busy and alive and continue to create economic activities in the area,” he said.

He said the express bus terminal would be relocated to the Klang Central site, and there would also be a stop for local buses there.

“I can assure you that the main bus terminal will remain in the town,” he said

Fruit seller Ooi Hoo Hin, 55, who has been operating around the terminal for 27 years, is currently operating at a temporary site provided by the council at Jalan Batu Tiga Lama and welcomed the move.

“I’m happy the bus terminal will be rebuilt and I hope we will be given a permanent site at the complex,” he said.

Petty trader M. Chandran, 52, who inherited his business from his mother, said the traders had moved no less than five times over the years.

Chandran said his grandmother started the business more than 30 years ago and he had been operating at the ground floor for about 10 years before the fire struck.

“We have a lot of regular customers and we will lose them if the terminal is relocated,” he said

Drink stall operator Nooraidah Ahmad, 40, whose stall is one of 12 at Lorong Kepayang, opposite the bus terminal, said her business had dropped tremendously.

“We are looking forward to the terminal being rebuilt,” she said

Housewife Jamilah Ahmad, 49, from Pandamaran Jaya also welcomed the move, saying she had been travelling by bus for the past 30 years.

“I come to town at least three or four times a week and it is not practical to take a bus to Meru before catching another bus home.

“The bus terminal should be in town so that we can catch a bus easily,” she said.

New terminal to remain at original site
Wednesday August 10, 2005




ON May 19, 2003, Klang lost a landmark when fire partially destroyed the Great Wall supermarket terminal, which also housed the North Klang Bus Terminal.

After the fire, bus services at the terminal were relocated to four mini-terminals - Kuala Lumpur-bound express buses at Jalan Baru; for local buses at Lintang Batu Tiga Lama; mini buses along the Jalan Pos Baru; and Kuala Selangor-, Kapar- and Meru-bound buses at Jalan Pasar.

closure of the North Klang Bus terminal.






All of the terminals, except the one for Kuala Selangor-, Kapar-, and Meru-bound buses, were equipped with basic shelters for commuters.

Regular users of the original terminal and traders at the site had initially been worried when the Klang Municipal Council, under it’s then president Datuk Mohd Shariff Yusuf, announced that the terminal would be relocated to the Klang Central project and a mulit-storey commercial building built on the site.

However, on June 29, the Klang Municipal Council's new president Abdul Bakir Zin alleviated concerns when he announced that a new bus terminal would be built on the site (New bus terminal to come up at old site, StarMetro June 29, 2005).

Commuters and traders alike have welcomed the move and are looking forward to the new complex.

Titijaya shows its verve
- Property Times 21 May 2005 issue -


Good products don’t stay on the shelf. Titijaya Group’s maiden project in Subang Jaya, Selangor, e-Tiara serviced apartment, is testimony to that saying, for all its units were sold within two months of launch.

Taking the cue from the success, Titijaya unveiled the second phase of the development, called Tiaraville serviced suites, last February. Critics then threw cold water over the project, raising doubts over sales as they said the price tag of RM222,400 for the smallest 800sq ft unit - at RM278psf - was “too pricey”.

How wrong they were. Within three months of its launch and with little publicity to boot, more than 80 per cent of the 290 units offered in Blocks A (Mozzart) and D (Strauss) have been taken up.

Developed by Titijaya subsidiary, NPO Development Sdn Bhd, Tiaraville will comprise 611 serviced suites housed in four blocks of 19- and 21-storeys as well as 32 retail lots.

Each block will be served by a pair of lifts, while each unit will be allocated a covered car-parking bay.

Spread over a 3.3-acre freehold plot along Jalan Kemajuan, the standard units will come in three designs ranging from 800sq ft to 954sq ft, while the penthouse will be larger, with 2,000sq ft.

The 500sq ft to 706sq ft retail lots, slated for launch at a later stage, will come at an indicated price starting from RM350,000.

“Though only two blocks have been offered, we’ve had lots of people registering their interest for the other yet-to-be-released blocks. This interest is probably due to several factors, including our location, easy access and concept,” Titijaya’s business development director Charmaine Lim told PropertyTimes.

Tiaraville is located along the same row as the Petaling District Office complex, Wisma Consplant, Subang Parade, Carrefour Hypermarket and Menara Mesiniaga. Surrounding it are the mature neigbourhoods of SS14, SS15 and SS16.

Titijaya purchased the site in August last year via Canggih Kota Sdn Bhd from Inti Asset Development Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of public-listed Inti Universal Holdings Bhd, for RM29.558 million, or RM205psf based on the land area.

The project has the distinctive advantage of being located within a bustling commercial zone with educational institutions, medical centres, hotels and a golf course in the vicinity.

“Tiaraville also boasts an array of road accesses, such as the Federal Highway, New Pantai Expressway, Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong and Shah Alam Expressway via Jalan Kemajuan and Jalan Kewajipan,” said Lim.

“The four-lane Subang-Kelana Link which is under construction will further enhance accessibility.

“Furthermore, the Subang Jaya KTM Komuter station is within walking distance and is another transport alternative. We plan to provide a covered walkway from our project to the station.”

She pointed out that Tiaraville’s concept will be complemented with landscaping featuring a musical fountain, cascading vertical water screen wall, koi pavilion and koi stream.

Other features will be a sundeck, “secret gardens” for selected units, observation decks, a chit-chat corner with gazebo as well as a pool terrace.

Besides 24-hour security with card system access and CCTV camera monitoring, Tiaraville will have facilities such as a multi-purpose hall, swimming and wading pools, games room, squash courts, gym, car wash area, centralised SMATV and broadband Internet access.

The monthly maintenance charge (inclusive of sinking fund) to upkeep the project has been set at 22 sen per square foot.

Residents can also opt for housekeeping, laundry, nursery and healthcare services, with the latter offering Eastern and Western therapies.

“Buyers can expect an eight per cent yield on their units, with capital appreciation of between 20 and 30 per cent,” said Lim.

Titijaya’s other projects include the Tiara Square shop-offices in UEP Industrial Park in USJ 12 and also Klang Sentral, a commercial and transportation hub in Klang.


Titijaya unit building transport hub in north Klang
Thursday August 26, 2004


NPO Development Sdn Bhd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Titijaya group, is developing Klang Sentral, a new transportation hub in north Klang.

Earthworks and site clearing have started and the bus and taxi terminals on a 6-acre site are due for completion in 2006.

Titijaya managing director Datuk Lim Soon Peng said in a statementthe group was the pioneer developer in Bukit Raja having undertaken the development of Mutiara Bukit Raja 1 & 2, two mixed commercial and residential developments along the main road of Jalan Meru.

“Both these developments have registered 98% sales. And with so many new developments coming up in Bukit Raja, we are confident that Klang Sentral will become the most modern and vibrant business centre in Klang,” he added.

Can the developers stop calling their stations "Sentral". This word is cool when KL Sentral used it but it's abit overused now.

Council wants a bus terminal in Lembah Jaya
Monday November 14, 2005


THE Ampang Jaya Municipal Council (MPAJ) will submit to the state government next year a proposal to build a bus terminal on a 12ha site in Lembah Jaya.

Council president Ahmad Shafii Saidin said MPAJ would have to seek the Government's approval to acquire the site from a private company.

“We will bring this matter up to the Government. The municipality does not have a bus terminal and there is no other place where you can find such a large and suitable site,” he told reporters after the council's full board meeting recently.

Earlier in the meeting, MPAJ decided to proceed with its plans to build a 3.6ha non-Muslim burial ground near Taman Andaman Ukay and Taman Wangsa Ukay in Bukit Antarabangsa despite objections from a councillor who felt that it was unsuitable as the site was surrounded by residential areas.

Town planner Zurainah Said said the Planning Department had written to the Land Office, which informed that there was no other burial ground in the municipality and it would not change the land use of other places.

Best example would be KL's Puduraya bus terminal but i doubt they will demolish it any time soon. There's a world class airport, world class LRT terminal but a terrible central bus terminal. What a shame.

I'm totally agree!! :sleepy:

There are many smaller towns in Malaysia which need a serious upgrade on the infrastructure. Many of these places resemble extremely undeveloped parts of the world. They are usually tucked away from the busy "expressways" which lead to the more glitzy cities.

More glitzy cities? This problem is just not only confined to rural Malaysia. Even in Malaysian cities, the bus terminals are shocking, Look at Pudu in KL, Look at Larkin in JB. Absolute dumps!

Kluang bus terminal in poor condition
Dec 5


SIVAKUMAR, 26, of Taman Kelana Jaya complains of the poor condition of Kluang bus terminal.


"I went back to Kluang recently and was taken aback to see the terminal in poor condition and dirty, especially the floor tiles and the food court on the first floor."

"Why is there no action taken to keep the place clean?" asks SIVAKUMAR.

He says even the Puduraya bus terminal is cleaner than the one in Kluang.

"The town council has been upgraded from District Council to Municipal Council but failed to keep the bus terminal up to the standard."

Kluang Municipal Council’s evaluation and property management division spokesman says that they monitor the cleaning work from time to time.

"We also held gotong-royong cleaning exercise with the traders and tenants here. But they are not co-operative," he says.

The spokesman says the division has forwarded a proposal to upgrade the terminal.

"We are still waiting for the approval to go ahead with the upgrading process which will include wiring and installation of pipes.

"If the proposal is rejected, we will find other ways to improve conditions at the terminal."

Hi, i'm doing a research on Malaysia Bus station. Can anyone tell me any new or upcoming stations. More info and links will be greatly appreciated Intending to go on a field trip to these stations in the next few days...first stop Melaka Sentral...

Bus stations I agree but which LRT station you found poorly-maintained? I find that our LRT stations are pretty good compared to many rail stations in many developed countries. ;)

Even then not all bus stations are that bad.......take a look at Pasar Rakyat and Duta bus terminals......I think these are pretty good ones in KL but Duta seems to be too small for its size and it is not too well-connected by rail :(

How is the progress of Pudu bus station. I saw some improvements were made during my stay in Kuala Lumpur in the middle of this year. I was also travelling throughout Malaysia at that time and saw the impressive expressway system (lebuhraya as Malaysian calls) in some of its federations (Selangor, Pahang, Melaka, etc). Definitely the best expressways in SEA. Several bus stations that I saw were also clean and good-quality. To me, Malaysia is definetely the best country in SEA by not considering Singapore as it is only a tiny island. Given what all I saw, I believe Malaysia will achieve a developed country status by 2020. MALAYSIA BOLEH, right?

people hate KL's Puduraya becos it's just too old, very hot and damp, they need to dosomething fast about that place. Melaka Sentral is the best example we could build a resonably comfortable air conditioned bus station with much lower cost.

Glad you like it here! :okay: I trust you enjoyed your stay here ;)

The Puduraya Bus station indeed been renovated recently with new flooring and a fresh coat of paint. Apart from that they've also installed new lightings to make the place brighter. But I really hate the touts there as well as those Diesel fumes from the buses........and that place is the main source of traffic woes in the city :(

I've encountered poorly maintained LRT stations too. For example the Bangsar station for PUTRA LRT. Those machines are no longer working. Just look at the condition of those ticket machines and touch screen device in Bangsar station.

I get into KL once in awhile and I do see that the progession or rather deterioration of not just the LRT stations but also the LRT trains being quite evident. Come on, our fellow Malaysians are not as civic minded as Singaporeans or Australians. In Singapore, I don't think their MRT system looks like it has aged or deteriorated much as or as fast as Malaysia's LRT system, their still looks very nice, clean well maintained and modern, even though it is a much more established and older system. The sign and speed of neglect in Malaysia is astonishingly quite fast, new busses become quite a state after a couple of years with vandalism, lack of care by passengers and neglect, compare and contrast this with other cities like for example Singapore. It begs a question, do KLites not care about their transit system?

haih.....those Malaysian that DAMN CACAT PUNYA ORANG seem like havent educated....This means our education system are wrong! Our government do not have the ability to manage the microeconomics....haih haih :bash:

Malaysia still have many bad and old city bus....
and the area around the bus station can not keep clean.

i went up to m'sia last weekend to do my research on bus and train station...well i must say tat i was impressed by melaka sentral...its strikingly modern looking but yet still preserving the local traditions of the ubiquitous pitch roof...but its seem to be an overkill for me..i guess the architect's intention is to hav a consistent vocabulary throughout with the bus station/pasar & bazaar...n the entire state...i feel the station is well planned, very clear allocation of spaces for the varied transport services...the space inside is well lighted..but y must they use the blue glass..?

went over to the pasar n bazaar..i quite like the pasar..cos its very open and well ventilated..well signed throughout...the central court is brilliant with escalators...u wont get tat in singapore..not for facilities such as a wet market..chat up wif a fishmonger who was so proud of his stall..an interesting guy..is it a common trend for a m'sia market to have a separate building for stalls selling pork?

the bazaar, however, was dead..most stalls not open..though its a normal working day..wats the main reason can anyone tell me? this is wat worries me next. the new transport hub is located to far way from the main city area...guess for commuters they have no choice but to make their way to the bus stations....wat bout daily needs such as a market place....will the new station thrive as a new urban centre.? i would say this move is a crucial one to accomodate for future economic and uran growth...so i wont be surprised in a few yrs time..the area ard the station will be developed n turn to new centre...but looking at it now..its still not there yet.

but wats missing is the link to the historical town and the old centre created by the former hub..i walked for a close to an hour to reach the town..bus services does not stop along the route? ..there's no bus stops..luckily my walk was not tat disappointing cos it was sunset..n the sky color was nice..

i just feel tat malacca is not as bustling as it used to be...last time i arrived frm the old bus station in the town near the malacca river...it was such a lively place..n the handicraft market was gone..took me some time to find the new location..behind mahkota parade..do hope tat the new dataran parlimen..will bring back malacca to its former glory..wats a place without the people and activities...

(will try upload pics in due course)

Bus terminal for Shah Alam
Thursday February 9, 2006
Story and photos by SALINA KHALID


COMMUTERS in Shah Alam will have a new bus terminal in the city centre.

Dubbed Hentian Pusat Bandar (City Centre Bus Stop), the new facility will serve as the last destination for buses plying the city.

“Currently the buses make their last stop and wait for passengers in front of Kompleks PKNS.

“When the new bus terminal is operational, the buses will no longer be allowed to wait for passengers at the shopping complex.

“They will only be able to make a short stop to drop or pick up passengers,” said Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) assistant public relations officer Shahrin Ahmad.







http://www.thestar.com.my/archives/2006/2/9/central/m_24busstop1.jpg

The new bus terminal is equipped with ample chairs for commuters waiting for
their buses. The terminal is tucked behind the Maybank building in Shah
Alam, away from the city centre.







He added that the bus terminal was expected to be operational in the middle of the month.

Shahrin said the bus terminal was built as part of the city council's efforts to improve public transportation services in the city.

Although some people have found it convenient to have the buses make a long stop at the shopping complex, it has irked others.

Buses would be parked along both sides of the road fronting the shopping complex, resulting in some residents complaining that the scene was not only an eyesore, it was also environmentally unfriendly as the smoke emissions from the buses contributed to the air pollution in the city centre.

The situation also causes traffic congestion in the city centre, especially during peak hours.

“Leaking engine oil has also dirtied and damaged the road,” said Shahrin.

Shahrin said bus operators serving the area had been informed of the opening of the bus terminal. The city council, however, is still awaiting approval for the terminal from the Commercial Vehicle Licensing Board (CVLB).







http://www.thestar.com.my/archives/2006/2/9/central/m_24busstop2.jpg

There is no designated bus stop in front of the PKNS Complex, so bus drivers
just park their buses on the roadside to wait for passengers.







Located less than 1km from the shopping complex, the bus terminal will provide a more convenient place for commuters to wait for their respective busses.

Tucked away behind the Maybank building, opposite Wisma MBSA and Grand Bluewave Hotel, Hentian Pusat Bandar is seen as the most suitable place for the purpose.

“It is away from the city centre and will not cause traffic congestion.

“It is also away from densely populated residential areas and will not pollute the city air,” he said.

A recent check at the bus terminal revealed that it came with toilets (for men, women and disabled), surau and a kiosk.

There are ample chairs for passengers to wait for their buses and sufficient parking space for the buses as well. The bus stop is also disabled-friendly, with a designated toilet and ramp for wheelchair users.

Several years ago, the city council had planned to build an integrated public transport terminal in the city.

It was said then that the facilities would be built at a suitable location that would be accessible from the North Klang Valley Expressway, the Federal Highway and the Guthrie Corridor Expressway.

Meanwhile, the city council is taking note of all residents' complaints concerning public services as part of the efforts to improve the services in their area.

Shahrin said the residents could voice their complaints to the city council.

“The residents should know whether the system is efficient in their area.

“We hope they can also provide suggestions on alleviating the problem in their area,” he said.

Oo...the Bus Terminal in Shah Alam...errmm..is a bit dissapointed(judging from the pic above):(

CCTV at Klang bus station
Saturday March 4, 2006
By EDWARD RAJENDRA

THE Klang Municipal Council (MPK) will install closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras this month within the vicinity of the Klang bus station, off Jalan Pos Baru, in a bid to curb crime especially snatch thefts.

MPK president Abd Bakir Zin said: “The installation of CCTV is under the pilot project for a crime-free environment.”

“Our councillors have approved the usage of CCTV in the busiest area of town, the bus station.

”Daily, we have a floating population of about two million people coming in and leaving Klang via the bus station. The need for CCTV is paramount.

“CCTV is an important weapon in the modern fight against crime,” he added.

“Our initial plan is to rent the CCTV system for 10 months and then evaluate it. If it proves effective, our councillors will propose for the council to purchase it,” said Bakir, adding that the council would be monitoring the system's strengths and weaknesses.

Bakir said MPK had to consider various aspects, such as maintenance and cost of tapes.

“We cannot use a tape for more than 12 times and we need to ensure that the picture is clear enough to identify people and vehicles,” he said.

It was reported last Saturday that more than half of the 38 municipal councils in the country had not installed CCTV cameras in crime-prone areas.

The installation of the cameras came under the 23 measures for Safe City Concept initiated by the Housing and Local Government Ministry 18 months ago.

Minister Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting had said his ministry was willing to assist the councils.

The cameras, he said, had proven effective in curbing rape, theft and extortion.

Ong had said that the councils nationwide should not claim lack of funds to install the cameras because revenue collected by them was more than RM10mil annually.

Tengku Kelana Indian Businessmen representative N.P. Raman said the move to ensure safety of the community through the use of CCTV was much needed.

“It is good that MPK aims to reduce the crime around the Klang bus station. The CCTV will deter criminals and if the project works well, it should be extended to the business enclave of Tengku Kelana and other crime-prone areas,” he said.

http://www.thestar.com.my/archives/2006/4/19/central/m_01mess.jpg



THE PUDURAYA bus terminal in Kuala Lumpur is chaotic and in a mess, within and outside its premises. There seems to be no law, nor is there any order at the old bus station.

Motorists and taxi drivers disregard the “no-parking” and “no-waiting” signs on either sides of Jalan Pudu. They park their vehicles in front of the terminal’s entrance, regardless of the inconvenience their actions are causing other motorists.

The cabbies drop off and pick up travellers at their convenience despite continuous reminders that such haphazard parking has caused traffic congestion in the area.





http://www.thestar.com.my/archives/2006/4/19/central/m_03parked1.jpg

Jalan Pudu in front of the Puduraya bus terminal
is every motorist’s nightmare route.





On a bad day, the congestion can pile up to the Jalan Tun Perak stretch near the Masjid Jamek Rapid KL LRT station and Jalan Bukit Bintang, near the city police contingent headquarters.

While motorists who abide the law park their cars at designated spots in the terminal, the irresponsible ones take the easy way out.

Many travellers who have just alighted from the buses wait at the entrance for their relatives or friends to pick them up.

As they do, taxi drivers approach them to see if they needed transportation.

Some even go the extra mile by sheltering customers from the rain with umbrellas as they guide them to their vehicles.

The taxi drivers have become oblivious to the honking of other vehicles behind them.

UDA Mall Sdn Bhd, the terminal’s management firm, has provided the taxi operators, especially those travelling to Genting Highlands and areas around Pahang, with a designated pick-up and drop-off zone at the car park on the second floor.






http://www.thestar.com.my/archives/2006/4/19/central/m_03rakyat.jpg
The Plaza Rakyat project has resumed works and should be completed in two years’ time.







However, city cabs at the zone demand exorbitant fares, much to the disgust of travellers.

Cars aren’t the only cause for the chaos at Puduraya. Long queues of express buses waiting to enter the terminal also help to aggravate the traffic situation in the area.

Edward Goh, who parks his car in the terminal whenever he sends off or picks up someone, said the errant motorists should be civic-minded and not break the road regulations.

“Why can’t they park their cars in the bus terminal? They do not need to park there for long to pick up or drop off their passengers,” he said.

Another motorist who did not want to be identified said: “This problem will only be solved if City Hall places an enforcement officer there daily.”

A City Hall spokesman said Puduraya fell under the jurisdiction of the police and Road Transport Department (JPJ) and the local authority had made it clear to them that it was their responsibility, not DBKL’s.

He said City Hall had removed the roundabout near Menara Maybank and turned it into a traffic light junction to ease congestion in the area.

It is City Hall’s hope that the traffic woes can be addressed once the delayed Plaza Rakyat project has been completed. The project that had been stalled following the 1997 economic crisis will include a tower, service apartment, hotel and integrated bus and LRT terminal.

JPJ public relations officer Abdul Rauf Jamalis said the department received an average of 130 complaints from the public each week, but none were over the Puduraya bus terminal.

He said it was perhaps because JPJ had only just put up signboards that displayed its hotline number at the bus station recently.

“From time to time, we conduct spot checks, but we do not have a specific timetable to follow,” he said, adding that the department had been waiting for the Road Transport Act 1987 to be amended to empowers its enforcement officers to arrest touts.

On the traffic problem outside the station, he said, the department could not take action against motorists who parked their vehicles by the road as its duty only covered vehicles on the move.

To complain about touts, bus drivers and taxi operators, call JPJ at 03-8888 42444.

^^ the whole of Plaza Rakyat project will be completed in 2 years?? cool!

actually i was quite pleased with the LRT system in KL. the coaches look clean but the signs of wear and tear were very obvious. i think it is down to the intensity of usage rather than vandalism or poor care. i also learnt that the operators of the LRT are not making much profits therefore might not be able to afford new coaches. the bus system on the other hand....

Taxing time for cabbies at new Muar terminal
Friday August 4, 2006
By HAMDAN RAJA ABDULLAH

MUAR: About 100 taxi drivers have moved into the town's new bus and taxi terminal after waiting for two years.

However, they were surprised to see the complex lacked some basic facilities such as a waiting or sitting area for the drivers and passengers.

for passengers at the new Muar terminal.




Muar Taxi Drivers and Hire Car Association secretary Mohd Ali Naim said the taxi drivers had to bring their own chairs to the terminal to wait for passengers.

“Although we are happy to move into this new complex, which is located in the heart of the town.

“We hope the Muar municipal council will install some chairs here,” he said after about 60 taxi drivers moved into the complex on Tuesday.

Mohd Ali said the taxi drivers hoped that council would make good some construction faults that had allowed rainwater to leak from the first floor onto the ground floor.

He said the taxi drivers had suffered for more than two years when they were asked to move to a makeshift terminal near the Muar Stadium while waiting for the terminal to be constructed.

He said not many passengers had wanted to go to the stadium and most drivers had to roam the town to look for passengers then.

“Now that the new terminal is opened, we hope people will come here for the taxi service.

“We also want to thank the state government and the council for this new and modern bus and taxi terminal,” he added.

Six-storey bus terminal for Rawang

LIFE is expected to be easier for Rawang commuters when a six-storey bus terminal-cum-taxi stand project is ready in two years.

The RM5mil project includes a Sky Link that will give easy access between the new bus terminal at Pusat Bandar Rawang and the town’s KTM Komuter Station.

The ground-breaking ceremony for the project by Mahumas Sdn Bhd was performed by Rawang assemblyman Datuk Tang See Hang on Tuesday.

at the ground-breaking ceremony of the bus terminal and taxi stand in
Pusat Bandar Rawang





The terminal project, which sits on a 0.72ha site at Pusat Bandar Rawang, is scheduled to be completed by September 2008.

It will have 27 shops on the first floor and 18 food stalls on the mezzanine floor while the top four floors will be taken up by car parks with 214 parking bays.

The terminal will have nine parking bays for buses and two parking bays for buses under repair. A total of 18 taxi parking bays will be set aside for taxis.

To make it convenient for public transport users, a 1km Sky Link will connect the bus terminal and taxi stand to the KTM Komuter station.

Tang described the Sky Link as an extended pedestrian bridge that would enable commuters to walk with ease between the bus terminal and the Komuter station in the shade and away from traffic.






http://www.thestar.com.my/archives/2006/9/15/central/m_terminalmap.jpg






He said the new bus terminal and taxi station would eliminate the need for buses to stop along the town’s already congested roads to pick up or drop off passengers.

Tang said he was aware of the traffic problems in Rawang town and had been working with the local authorities and the state government to overcome the congestion.

“The town’s traffic problems need major projects to resolve and these take a long time to plan and carry out,” he said, adding that residents would have to be patient as the solutions were being worked out.

Mahumas Sdn Bhd project manager Casey Chew said the existing bus terminal and taxi stand in the old part of Rawang town was unorganised and no longer suitable for the town’s increasing population.

“There are buses coming from as far as Tanjung Malim, Kuala Lumpur, Batang Kali, Kundang, Batang Berjuntai and Kuala Selangor and these buses have to park at the roadside. The same goes for taxis.

“After the bus terminal and taxi stand is completed, Rawang will be come a more organised township,” said Casey, adding that Mahumas would be bearing the whole cost of the project.

Looking forward for this..It would be good! :)

I agree with what said by Subangite. We have a whacko public transportation system while our roads and highways are the world's best. Especially the bus in the rural areas--they are soo lopek one..

New bus terminal

KLANG North bus commuters are full of praise for the new bus terminal that has a soothing green landscape.

Klang Consumer Association president A. Devadass said the garden concept was good as the exhaust fumes from the buses are not trapped unlike in the old building.

“We find the green landscape soothing to the eyes and it offers commuters a more relaxed environment. Klang Municipal Council (MPK) has done a good job in putting up this bus terminal,'' he said.

Formerly the bus terminal was part of the Great Wall Supermarket, one of the oldest shopping centres in Klang.

It was razed in a fire in May 2003 and the 27 year old building was demolished.

Devadass said the bus terminal without walls blocking the view was a good concept.

“However, MPK must consider installing close-circuit television cameras to monitor the bus terminal for commuters security, especially at night. We hope the public will keep the terminal clean and take care of the facilities,'' he said.

MPK senior engineer Mohd Noor Mahmud said the RM700,000 bus terminal was scheduled to only open in early October but the council decided to open it earlier as it was completed.

“We also want feedback from the bus operators and commuters. If there is anything we can improve on, we will do it for the convenience of the public,” he said.

Mohd Noor said the council had installed decorative lights and built modern bus shelters at the terminal.
