KUALA LUMPUR: The Cabinet has approved the setting up of a Public Transportation Trust Fund with an allocation of RM4.4bil, the savings the Government derived from its reduction of subsidy for fuel prices.
A statement issued by the Prime Minister's Office yesterday said that the fund would be used to finance projects that would enhance the standard of public transportation, such as:
?IMPROVING the system of integration of public transportation among the bus, Light Rail Transit (LRT), monorail and KTM (Keretapi Tanah Melayu) commuter services;
?IMPROVING the standard of bus services, particularly in terms of coverage and frequency of services; and
?EXPANDING the networks of the monorail and LRT systems.
Instead of improving coverage and frequency of bus services, it is also wise to look at the condition of the buses and the services offered to the people. Just look at the survey taken (The Star Online)
