LETTER | Why not upgrade Putrajaya’s lousy bus system first?
| Putrajaya Corporation president Aminuddin Hashim recently told the media that the abandoned Putrajaya monorail project will finally be continued. This is after years of speculation dating back since 2016 when MMC proposed the Putrajaya monorail to the National Economic Council. There were also reports this year that Putrajaya’s rail link might be an LRT from Kajang to the administrative capital.
Nadi Putra, the sole bus service operator in Putrajaya, has been giving poor service in recent times due to a lack of funds, buses breaking down and the poor attitude of bus drivers. With a one star rating on their Facebook page, they have given a bad reputation to the city’s image. Although it has been mentioned that the government might find a private company to share the construction cost; they will still have to pay a lot just to cover a quarter of it; which is around RM500 million.
That amount of money can certainly upgrade Putrajaya’s lousy bus system. Bus lanes and a traffic signal priority will enable buses to travel at faster speeds, increasing the frequency of buses and decrease commuting times. With the flexibility of buses, it’ll have a greater impact on the city with larger coverage.
