DBKL is not doing anything about public buses that are obstructing the traffic.

The commercial public buses, especially Metro & Permata Kiara, that plies along Setapak-Jalan Genting Kelang are such a nuisance for other motorists. Not only these buses produces intolerable fumes that the authorities doesn't seem to care about, these buses are obstructing the traffic flow by stopping by the roadside to their whims and fancies. Sometimes these traffic goes standstill as far as 1 km. To make the matter worst, the authorities (DBKL, traffic police and JPJ) seems to turn an eye blind on this. In fact, I have made an official complaint via htp://www.dbkl.gov.my e-aduan. It has been more than a month since I made an official complain to DBKL and, to-date I have not receive any official reply nor I see any visible or drastic action taken. All the e-aduan website says that the complaint have been forwarded to another anonymous 'Jabatan' (see below). Do i really care where is the complaint forward to? I just wanted to know what are the resolutions are. Yeah, this is the usual passing-the-buck in-your-face and there-is-nothing-more-that-you-can-do-about-it when you deals with DBKL.


Every morning, I have to bear the brunt of these bad traffic. It doesn't matter if I get stuck for 10 or 20minutes, the point is that these buses are obstructing the traffic. Apparently this problem isn't new. Read more here.



A MalaysiaKini reader has this to say:

"To be brutally honest, I have nothing but contempt for the urban bus services offered by Metrobus and I know that many people would agree. Their buses clog the streets of Kuala Lumpur and suburban areas, especially in the city centre around Central Market and the Kota Raya complex. Their drivers are reckless, driving at excessive speeds and taking risks with passenger safety. Many of their buses are old and poorly maintained, and belch putrid black smoke. Overall, Metrobus operations are unreliable and they give public transportation a bad name.

On the other hand, the operations of Metrobus are just a symptom of the rot that has been created in public transportation. I have made my feelings clear about the CVLB. If you want to know why more Malaysians do not use public transportation, you need to look no further than the CVLB. It is the CVLB that grants huge numbers of permits to these bus companies and does not enforce the rules that it sets out. It is the CVLB that continues to allow these bus companies to use unsafe buses. It is the CVLB that allows the companies to hire reckless and dangerous bus drivers to operate their buses and pay them unbelievably low wages. It is the CVLB that continues to grant operations permits to drivers with multiple summonses."

Useless agencies.
