KUALA LUMPUR: The management of Terminal Bersepadu Selatan - Bandar Tasik Selatan (TBS-BTS), MAJU Terminal Management and Services (MAJU TMAS), will ensure that taxi service at the terminal is monitored to prevent passengers from being cheated.

"We will assign a monitoring officer and any driver of metered taxis can operate at the TBS-BTS," said the managing director of MAJU TMAS, Roslan Mohd Shariff when contacted by Bernama.

Roslan also said that TBS-BTS would not be creating the coupon system in the near future.

TBS-BTS also stressed on the security aspect by installing 500 close-circuit TV cameras (CCTV) besides deploying 250 auxillary policemen to carry out patrols at all floors and police posts were provided at strategic areas.

TBS-BTS, which will be operational on Jan 1, is also another symbol of modernisation of the country's transport system and the government's efforts to provide comfort to the people.

The TBS-BTS building, constructed on a 19.6 hectare site, consists of six floors including 55 bus platforms for 1,000 buses going out and coming in every day, 150 taxi stands and 1,000 parking lots including special parking for women. - Bernama

"One of the special features is the centralised ticketing system where Maju TMAS will be selling the tickets on behalf of bus operators to put an end to touting activities."

Tickets sold will bear passengers' names, similar to that of boarding passes issued by airlines.

I agree with allurban analysis that the ITS is not connected to nearby villages and towns via pedestrian walkways....the ITS still car centric..

This is like the KTM stations near the federal Highway which leave passengers either to cross the deadly traffic laden federal highway or walk ridiculously long way to get to the LDP bridge to get to other side.

this is hilarious - not only do we have 2 different government agencies talking about different opening dates, one of the biggest bus operators (Konsortium Transnasional) will stay at Bukit Jalil for the short term

Why? Because they only got the fax from CVLB/LPKP on Thursday!!!!

But do not worry at all, the government has found a way to resolve the problem:

New opening date - 1 January 2011, with no retail lots and almost no bus services. http://bit.ly/gWqoOb

The perfect face-saving solution

By the way, does our high-tech terminal with integrated ticketing system have a website? A phone number?

Cheers, m

New depot gave too short a notice to move in, say bus operators

KUALA LUMPUR: The country’s state-of-the-art bus terminal is set to open today in an air of controversy, with only 10 out of the 190 invited operators moving in.

Bus operators have complained of too short a notice to move their operations into the Integrated Transportation Terminal Bandar Tasik Selatan (ITT-BTS).

There is also some misunderstanding on when the terminal should open for business.

The terminal’s operator, Maju TMAS (Terminal Management and Services), said it had been given the go-ahead by the Commercial Vehicle Licensing Board to open the terminal today, while the Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Ministry has issued a directive that the terminal can only be opened on Feb 2 simultaneously with the Puduraya bus terminal.

To add to the problems, an Umno branch will be holding a demonstration outside the terminal to protest against the allotment of retail outlets.

Konsortium Transnasional Bhd human resource and corporate services head Abdul Samad Kamari said the board had only issued a directive on Thursday asking them to relocate to the terminal by Feb 1.

However, he said Maju TMAS had asked the firm to start operations at the terminal today.

“It is too short a notice for us to begin operations and we have not even completed discussions on the ticket management system.

“As of now, our services will remain at the Bukit Jalil bus terminal until we manage to reach an agreement with the new terminal’s management,” he said.

Abdul Samad said Transnasional and Plusliner buses would still operate both northern and southern departures from the Bukit Jalil bus terminal until further notice.

Maju TMAS managing director Roslan Shariff said he left it to the bus operators to make their own decision, but pledged to go ahead with the opening today.

“We welcome all the bus operators but it is ultimately their decision. We will open with all the resources we have,” he told The Star.

Roslan said Maju TMAS had been “constant and consistent” in its actions. “Our task is to deliver service to the people,’’ he added.

The terminal has 55 platform bays and 110 holding bays. It will service south-bound buses and the terminal and also has the capacity to cater for north-bound routes.

There are 18 ticketing counters, two e-ticketing counters and one for disabled users.

There will not be individual counters for each bus operator, thus eradicating the tout problem that had been rampant at Puduraya and the temporary terminal in Bukit Jalil.

Bandar Tun Razak Umno branch secretary Zaharin Mohd Yasin said members would hold a demonstration outside the terminal to protest against the allotment of retail outlets.

“We are not concerned about the date of operations. Our main concern is the 40% allotment of retail outlets in the terminal which should have been given to the people of Bandar Tun Razak,” he said.

Elijah Ismail, 45, from Sentul, said she went to the terminal yesterday to purchase tickets to Johor but was told that the ticket counter was not yet open.

She hoped that it would be opened considering the facilities provided in the new terminal.

UDA Holdings Bhd chairman Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed said although express buses from the north had been given the option of using the ITT-BTS, most companies still favoured the Puduraya terminal.

read the following 3 articles and the picture gets even muddier!

*Paying more for bus trips
*Hundreds stage protest against developer
*CVLB steps in to resolve terminal issues

I honestly do not know which politician is worse - Khalid Ibrahim attending the protest and claiming that he will bring up their concerns in Parliament, or CVLB Director Haliah Sadique demanding to know why the bus operators were not at TBSBTS on January 1 as required.

Bunch of screwups!

Hundreds stage protest against developer

KUALA LUMPUR: Hundreds of people, including residents, non-governmental groups and politicians, staged a protest at the Bandar Tasik Selatan LRT in Cheras against the Bandar Tasik Selatan Inte- grated transport terminal developer.

The protesters, including members from Barisan Nasional and Opposition parties like PAS and PKR, claimed among others that the land for the terminal had been gazetted for recreational purpose.

The protest, which lasted about two hours, ended with a march to SK Desa Tasik.

Bandar Tun Razak Barisan and Umno secretary Zaharin Yasin said the group wanted a 6ha piece of land near the lake returned to the public.


One protest: Bandar Tun Razak residents, members of NGOs and BN and PR component parties protesting as one against the developer and operator Maju Holdings Sdn Bhd who they allege did not give locals priority in setting up retail businesses in shoplots at the Bandar Tasik Selatan Integrated terminal.
They wanted the terminal operators to ensure the poor in the area were given priority for setting up retail businesses in the shoplots at the terminal.

“This terminal is a government project. It is the people who should benefit from it,” Zaharin said, adding that the monthly rental was also steep.

Also present were Bandar Tun Razak MCA chief Chiew Lian Keng and Federal Territory PPP chairman Datuk A. Chandrakumanan.

Bandar Tun Razak MP Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, who made an appearance during the protest, said he would raise the matter in Parliament.

Maju TMAS Sdn Bhd managing director Roslan Shariff declined to comment when approached, saying that Maju TMAS only managed the terminal.

Maju Holdings Sdn Bhd is the developer of the terminal.

Cheers, m

always happen when rush jobs are involved..then everyone wants to take opportunity!!

So who do we call for the rescue..Syed Albar?

[tunomura]

those politician make our public transportation messy..unorganized, unplanned and damn sick

I hope SPAD will take over CVLB ASAP and get rid our public transportation from useless politics..

[idiamindada]

the reason for this mess if from government and its agencies as well.

as usual, government always do thing 'top down' approach. never consult and involve public or stakeholders. they only think they know what is good what is bad. is this how Najib said 'the era of government knows best is over'?

now who is going to clean this shit?

[idiamindada]

i believe the term 'Public Participation' is very very rare in malaysia bcoz of our populist (and idiot) politician.

they want to build fast and solve any problems only after it's been built. they want to show to people (via media) that, "oh, this is another world class facility built for the rakyat", while sweeping everything under the carpet. only the stadium at gong badak terengganu shown the real fact.



looking at this diagram, we know where's our position (as a rakyat).

[Arkdriver]

even if it's running from tomorrow, i bet the BTS will turn into bukit jalil,puduraya in no time. Bus station will always be a bus station. No matter how magnificent the structure or the plan is to run that place.

Let's bet

It looks classy.....it depends on the management.
If it is not well managed....it will be 2nd pudu very fast.
If it is well managed...then it will be well maintained and also slow down the rate of being another pudu that fast.
