It has been more than a month since I read the comments by S.M. Mohd Idris and Dr Choong Sim Poey criticising the proposal to buy 60 double-decker buses for RapidPenang and I still cannot shake off the feeling of disappointment.
I was disappointed that S.M. Mohd Idris likened the purchase of double-decker buses to a novelty. It is not as if RapidPenang was going to buy a retired London Routemaster (like Malacca did for the Panorama Melaka City Transport service) or that it plans to use the buses to operate a “hop-on-hop-off” tourist bus service like the one in Kuala Lumpur.
