Make public transport work for everyone


We still need to improve the integration of our public transport services. — The Star

AS Malaysia welcomed Asean delegates, Kuala Lumpur felt like a maze of blocked roads and detours. PLUS Malaysia Berhad announced phased closures on major highways, including the KLIA-Putrajaya Elite and the NKVE (Subang-Jalan Duta), to facilitate VIP movement during the summit.

With roads closed, commuters were told to “make full use of public transport”, as advised by Prasarana Malaysia Berhad. Yet, buses were not given priority lanes or clear rerouting alternatives, leaving many working-class riders stuck in traffic without viable options.
