New automobiles but what about public transportation ?

The number of new cars on the road is increasing. In Malaysia, new models are introduced every year by the national car manufacturers and also many more are imported.

This is what the Star newspaper reported recently " Perodua's managing director Hafiz Syed Abu Bakar recently said that sales of MyVi have surpassed expectations: There are already 19,000 MyVis on the road and we expect it to grow to 36,000 units by end of this year." This is only one model... what about other models

I am concerned with such increased in private automobiles, are there enough land in Kuala Lumpur and other big cities to build roads for these new babies. Do we have the fund ?

Sad to see that the development of public transportation is not at the same level of activities with the private cars. Studies have shown that public transportation is much more effective than private cars in urban areas.

We must understand that movement is an important factor in ensuring a better life in this modern world we call HOME.
