I refer to the recent “big bang plan” announce by Mr Lim and wonder are our authorities prepared to lead by example by taking the public transport too? The best solution to an issue is to base on your own experience in the daily life – the reality world.
Call us stupid or whatever, there are many reasons why we choose to drive even we all knew that owning a car is one of the worst “investment” we could make. So clearly money is “not an issue”. Why would people not going for the public transport if its service quality is reliable and good enough to convince people to let go their car? The most recent incident of the MRT delayed which causes more than 5M people to felt frustrated is just one of the examples of how the frustrations build up.
I sincerely hope that before Mr Lim roll out more “big bang plan” targeting reducing the car on the road by getting people to go on public transport, it ensure that the public transport is doing their part well – not in term of profit margin – to win over the people’s heart, to forgo the car on their own accord. And to get the real picture, please take the public transport as your people do to find out.
