KUALA LUMPUR: Bus passengers are feeling frustrated by the stage bus company Cityliner's decision to stop its services in Selangor from today.
Thousands of daily passengers, especially those who regularly commute on its routes from Kuala Lumpur to parts of Selangor, will be severely affected by the halt.
Many would be forced to switch to other forms of public transport.
Student Norfazmira Kamal, 19, said it would be a struggle to travel from home to university daily should the bus service come to a halt.
“I have no other choice but to take the KTM Komuter to go back home,” she said at Pudu Sentral here yesterday.
It was reported that Konsortium Transnasional Bhd (KTB), which owns the Cityliner company with 150 stage buses in Selangor alone, had been recording losses of RM8mil every year.
Assistant administrator, Suria Kasim (pic), 32, said it would take longer to commute from her workplace to her home in Klang.
“This is troublesome for passengers who take the bus daily. I would usually be home by 7pm if I take the bus. But now, using the train, I would be home much later than usual,” she said.
Shopkeeper Cindy Lim urged the Government to come up with solutions because most passengers were from the lower income group.
