The Transport Ministry should be lauded for its never ending efforts to improve public transport. For the capital city of Kuala Lumpur, the ultimatum of their decades of struggle, after going through countless trials and mistakes, is the much improved terminal at Bandar Tasik Selatan, to name one.
I was impressed by the technology employed ,and the presence of the police personnel and security guards makes one feel safe and at ease. I remember how my parents used to worry each time I had to go to the old Puduraya Bas Terminal to take a bus to go to Johor Bahru. It was not a safe place and my parents used to describe the place as one that had 'the bad, the good and the ugly', meaning you would expect the worst criminal in your midst. Poor mum! It was no wonder that she had so much grey hair; it must be all that worrying about me, a young girl then, travelling all alone and there was no mobile phone to check on me once in a while.
I am really glad now that I shall no more be too worried about my children travelling outstation ,thanks to the Transport Ministry for making it safer.
For those intending to travel by express buses to the northern states, namely Perak, Kedah, Perlis or Penang, they must go to the renovated Puduraya Terminal which restarted its operation a week ago.
As for those heading south- Johor,Malacca or Singapore, they shall have to go to the Bandar Tasik Selatan Bus Terminal.
