Improve accessibility for passengers with disabilities  


MRT commuters crowded at Bukit Bintang station. —YAP CHEE HONG/The Star

COMMUTING by public transport is a daily ritual for many of us. We wake up, get ready for the day and hop onto a train or bus to get where we need to go.

Peak hour commuting, of course, is another story. Morning and evening crowds look like sardines packed into a can. There is barely enough space to breathe, let alone move. You rely on your legs and a bit of luck to stay upright.
