Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi took commuter and LRT rail services on last Friday to experience the transport problems faced by the public. His comment was "unsatisfied service".
I am one of the commuter and LRT users. I always take LRT to reach KL Sentral, and then change to commuter to reach college. The commuters always delayed or canceled. Most of the time, the platform was crowded due to delay or cancellation of trains. When the next train came, people pushed their way in and would not give way to the disembark passengers. In the crowded train, passengers need to beware of pick pocket and female passengers need to beware of lecher.
There are signboards in the trains indicate that we need to give seats to the person with disabilities, pregnant women, elders and persons who carry children. However, I used to see people who were sitting pretended sleeping when they saw pregnant woman stood in front of them. When the pregnant woman left, they awoke and read newspaper or listened to MP3.
One day, if you got the same experience as mine, you may feel annoy in the beginning. But at the end of the day you will become apathetic when you experience all these consistently.

Two years ago, the government reduced oil subsidy and promised that the RM4.4 billion savings from the reduction in oil subsidy will be spent wisely in improving and upgrading the transportation system, including commuters, monorail, buses and LRT rail service.
Abdullah was quoted in a news report from Bernama that "I hope the people will no longer question the money received. We will put the money to good use so as to improve the public transportation system in all states." Since Abdullah has already experienced the public transport which is not up to the expectation, shall the people (tax payers) question where does the RM4.4 billion gone?

This is a letter from a commuter user to express his dissatisfaction towards the commuter service. It was published in The Sun, dated 21st of August, page 17.

It's high time that the rail services are upgraded, however why is action only taken now when the issue has be going on for so long (much to the frustrations of the people)? Like you have mentioned, it makes one wonder about the RM4.4 billion savings.
