Rapid Penang Experience

Its a Sunny day..actually its a wesak day (11/5/09)..i was having a holiday..Heem, nice weather with different colors of people.

Well, as you can see. I hopped on the bus at Adventist Hospital bus station. The bus ride was RM1.50..But they(the management) also offered concession price..meaning they give special price for those who could produced their senior citizen card/student card issued by the state then their fare is half of the normal ride.

Well, they charged your ride based on the distance you travel. Lets say from 0-7km is RM1, from 8km - 14km is RM1.50. So my ride was fall under the second category.

there is something i find it quite funny. why do the management want to set up the seat so high? what about gals wearing skirt? they will find it inconvenient.

For space management wise, i think Rapid Penang still need some improvement. I know they try to maximise their space with limited source however with a proper planning, it would definitely helps them to improve a lot from the current situation.

anyway apart from the defects side, they are also some positive side. they allocated some seat for the disable!haha..not only that, the morality of the society has improved. At least from the experience i saw the giving seats scenario to the less capable ...

ok, i will upload some wesak day parading photos in the next entry.

P/S: I just read the e-online news that Rapid Penang is allowed for "e-access" to internet!!!
OMG, this was amazing. Well, at least a good virgin start up for such a small town like Penang.
However, it was not all the routes they allowed you to do that. Only for those long distance journey like from airport to town.
