Today, I had the most terrible experience with KTM! Normally, I had to just wait for the 3rd car to come. This time, the first 3 cars were all full, packed like a sardine. I reached the station at 7:45 a.m., train reaches shortly. Full. Turned back and wait for the next train. What the heck! 15 minutes later, the 2nd train reached. Full. Sardined. Wait for next. Fuck! Another 15 minutes, 3rd car. Packed, extremely sardined. Had to wait for the next. Damn, by the time I reach my destination, I’m gonna be late! 8:45 a.m., the station was so quiet and peaceful, next train came. So roomy. Doors were kept opened for 2-3 minutes. What the hell? You had made the commuters late and you still don’t want to shut the doors and move?!? That is a very, very small station and all the people had already boarded the train. What were they waiting for? Ghosts?!!?
My 2 cents worthed.. before you ask your people to use public transport, you should first improve the public transports especially the blue and yellow one. So far, I have no problem with Putra or Star at all (touch wood, hopefully). This blue-yellow gave me a feeling like they don’t care about its customers/commuters/users. “You late, none of my business. Want to take KTM? Don’t want? Then suit yourself”. About raising the fuel price, some selfish part of me totally disagree with it but we can’t run away from the fact. As the matter of fact, the subsidies saved up might be used to improve the public transport. So, I think we just have to wait and sabar. This reminds me about a quote by one of my previous trainer, “Sabar. Sabar tak cukup, Sarawak” But I had ENOUGH!
A lot of people agrees that the G. should cut down the support (the so-called tongkat), gradually. I agree but I have a suggestion, why not cut down the other tongkat?? Know what I mean? This other tongkat has been around for soooooo many years since when? Independence? Isn’t it time to remove it and let them walk by themselves instead of guiding them till they die? No idea what I’m talking about? Send me your e-mail and I’ll explain it to you.. XD
