BUS IN MALAYSIA

In Malaysia, there are several type of buses such as : -

- Express Bus

- City / Shuttle Bus

- Charter / Tour Bus

- School Bus

- Worker Bus

- Special / Commities Bus

As everyone noticed, bus has become the most popular transport muchly for a long distance journey. For some person, it could save their budget by choosing a bus as they are unable to own a private car. It's reasonable to use it as for today, there are a lot of bus companies established and ready to deliver a service.

As much as we are now approach Aidilfitri and certainly there are many citizen planned to return to village and surely bus becoming a popular transport. And yet, there are a lot of accidents we heard every year involving a bus.

Back to the year 2003, an express bus from Kota Bahru, Kelantan was ahead to Kuala Lumpur when in sudden it was hitted by a school bus from Kuala Lipis. In the tragedy, 14 was reported died at site and another 28 passagers was injured. In other misfortune in 2007, an express bus was dive down into a ravine at Bukit Gantang, Perak. In the incident, the bus driver was reported sleepy and yet caused for the dead of 19 passangers and 10 others injured.

It was just a little story from the history of bus accident in Malaysia. Many efforts has been executed by the government to prevent this matter but the accident are still happen. Who responsible on this? Bus Driver? Bus Company? Passanger? Road Care? Government? Or who? No answer for it because when certain accident happened, there are many parties blamed.

In this year of 2009, government has directed the Commission of Road & Transportation ( JPJ ) to control the number of accident by execute a spotcheck to every bus drivers at all bus stations before and after journey and double a road block at city and main road in order to prevent any misfortune.

For me, that's a good effort execute by a government for the sake of every passanger and other driver on the road especialy in the month of Aidilfitri and others.
