Menteri Pembangunan Usahawan dan Koperasi Datuk Noh Omar berkata antara langkah yang sedang ditimbangkan termasuk mengurangkan kadar bayaran tol, cukai jalan, insurans dan sewa terminal bagi basbas yang beroperasi selain memperkenalkan dua jenis perkhidmatan bas ekspres iaitu bas ekonomi dan mewah. - mSTAR.
Yesterday Persatuan Pengusaha Bas Seluruh Malaysia (PMBOA) applied to increase bus fare at 100% which will constitute to a higher cost of traveling for locals especially. They cited the rising operational cost is making the operators finding difficult to make end meets. Rising price of petrol, maintenance and other operation factors are causing them difficult to make a profit. Most of these factors are uncontrollable but still something can be done to help these operators and not passing down the solution to consumers. I quote what Minister of Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives, Datuk Noh Omar said;"Saya difahamkan bagi bayaran tol sahaja syarikat syarikat bas terpaksa membelanjakan berjuta-juta ringgit, begitu juga kos untuk menyewa terminal," katanya ketika ditemui di lobi Parlimen di sini,.
If toll alone cost them millions, why not just let these public transport travel toll free on all highways and I think will help them to cut operational cost. When public transport is cheaper, public might opt for public transport rather than using personal vehicles. When more people use public transport, it helps to conserve energy for the benefit of future generations.
