EFFORTS are being made to improve the public transportation service in Kuala Lumpur, with immediate measures to upgrade the Puduraya bus station with a RM30.3mil allocation, a freeze on new taxi permits and round-the-clock efforts to nab touts.

For a long-term solution, the Bandar Tasik Selatan bus terminal, initially planned as the terminal for south-bound buses, may be expanded to replace the Puduraya, Hentian Putra (East Cost) and Pekeliling bus stations, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz, under whose jurisdiction the Commercial Vehicle Licensing Board (CLVB) comes.
