KUALA LUMPUR: The government has no plans to impose charges on private vehicles entering city areas as it may burden the people, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
The Prime Minister said such a step was not suitable to be implemented in the near future because the comprehensive public transport infrastructure is still under development.
"In some countries, to encourage the use of public transport, they impose charges on other (private) vehicles entering the city.
"We are not proposing that for now, as we feel it may be burdensome,” he said at the launch of the Gombak Integrated Terminal (TBG) here on Monday (Sept 29).
Anwar said the current priority is to develop a comprehensive, integrated and people-friendly public transport network in line with the Malaysia Madani principles.
