Oh man! I miss the bus again...............

Many of my school going children in my school us the public transport to commute to and from school since it is just  walking distance from my school. Many will wait for the bus opposite my school after school. I too use to take the public bus during my time at school and oh boy have they improved a lot. Now the bus stop have improved with shining benches and see through tops. Well even the bus service or the company that run the route have got new bus service. Well i am grateful for that especially in a small city like Ipoh, Perak but i feel more can be done about this.

Public transport in or within city limits could be improved with more regular buses paving the normal routine. The bus operator should have reliable bus service which the public can really rely on in terms of punctuality and also more trustworthy drivers.
Another aspect which i think that bus operator should consider is having a cash less card. Well I mean at time in the afternoon, the children at my school run out of money for their bus fare. They are left with taking or borrowing money from either the other children or the teachers. Well i just propose that bus operator should allow children just to carry one card which will play the role of money. Prepaid card like the once being used in the mobile industry and highways. It would be much more simple for the children in Perak. Well it is up to the relevant bus operator to come up or upgrade their bus system with the latest technology for the benefit of the children or the benefit of the people in Perak. I mean this idea is good, parents just top up each month and as the children board the bus they just scan on the screen at the bus which will deduct the amount for the fare and show the balance. If they amount in the card is not sufficient they are able to top up with the help of the driver. 
This way the children need not carry any amount of money but just a card which they can purchase from the relevant bus operator. This concept can and could be carried out anywhere in the world and maybe it has been going on so I do not see why it cannot be carried out here in Ipoh Perak, Malaysia.
It is not important who plants the tree and who rips the fruits but what is important is that it benefits the common man - the man on the street.




could the future buses in Ipoh ??
