WITH public transport poised for major improvements, much attention is being paid to the largest player in the business, the wholly government-owned Syarikat Prasarana Negara Bhd. It operates about 800 buses in the Klang Valley, and it also owns and runs two other major public transport systems, the two lines of the light rail transit (LRT) service and the Kuala Lumpur monorail.
Not only are there concerns that the public transport services it provides are not at the levels they should be at, the management of Prasarana has been called into question in the past.
