Thanks for another informative video. I was introduced to Lenggong Archaeological museum by Encik Aziz who run a real Kampong Homestay ie Suka Suka Resort by Tasek Chenderoh, Malaysia's first hydro lake and power station. I visited the museum around 2016 and was overwhelmed by the exhibits and info. thanks again for summarising in this video :)
nice video again!
'Temporary'🤣
thank you for the information, we are currently studying the subang airport, if you have any paper published, would you mind sharing it with us so we can read and study?
2. There are bus lanes on the causeway aren't there?
Ok, let me clarify some things. 1. You said that there was no info about places in the bus. That is not true at all. Passenger Information Display Systems (PIDS) can be found on the newer buses. They can be found at the front of the bus, or near a wheelchair bay, or on a double decker, both at the wheelchair bay and behind the staircase. They show the next stops and MRT stations.
These newer buses were delivered only from mid-2018 onward though & form a minority of our public bus fleet though (excluding demonstrators as they are small in number) (~150x Euro6 MAN A22, 50x Volvo B5LH, 400x Euro6 MAN A95, 30x BYD K9s, 20x Linkkers, 20x & 30x each of Yutong E12 & E12DD, 50x each of 3-door ADL E500 & MAN A95). Besides them there's also the minority of buses speced by SMRT that come with a more basic PIS (~200x EuroV MAN A95 + 1x Euro6 version, 40x MAN A24, 729x MAN A22, 50x MB Citaros, 216x ADL EuroV E500s & 134x MB OC500LEs). The rest of the fleet is speced by SBS & while its 1400x MB Citaros have speakers that now play audio announcements of the next stop (i.e. an audio-only PIS), its remaining 1591x Volvo B9TLs & ~1000x Scania K230s make do with "Bus stopping" indicator lights (though the ez-link card readers will show the next stop when you are only 100m away from it). So you have ~6170 public buses in total out of which ~800x (~12.97%) have PIDS, ~1370x (~22.2%) have PIS, 1400x (~22.69%) have audio-only PIS while the remaining ~2691x buses (~42.24%) don't have any, though I've seen netizens opine that smartphone apps could make PIDS obsolete. Hmm...maybe if the app is user-friendly & you setup it correctly e.g. that you've selected the right bus service, so when you're on a road with staggered bus stops, the app shows correctly which bus stops are skipped by your bus
Can also be found near wheelchair bays on newer buses
Can be found at front of buses
there are info on buses
Good info of east - west highway. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed it.
nice vid bro
The video title doesn't sound right... Is Singapore's Bus System the Most Perfect in the World?
does* have*
@@DRsx4 About to say this too 😂
As Indonesian who live in Western Indonesia Time, I would say it’s quite healthier to be 1 hour advance like Malaysia and Singapore, I would love having my 7 AM feels like 6 AM and my 7 PM like 6 PM especially for those who live in Central Java, East Java, West Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan, these areas are actually quite east from UTC+7 longitude which is 105°, for example here in Semarang, Central Java our sunrise ranging from 5.09-5.43 AM while our sunset ranging from 5.28-6.03 PM which if you advance the time 30 minutes it makes more sense but since 30 minutes offset is annoying so if you advance 1 hour it’s still no problem in my opinion, I really wish the Indonesian government considering merging Western and Central Indonesian time into one UTC+8 so that it leaves Indonesia having only two time zones West (UTC+8) and East (UTC+9)
I was a refugee in Malaysia back in 1975. We were not in Pidong but was located behind Perhentian Island....It seemed nobody mention it. Good video

I have a beautiful memories with bus. The time bus arrives are different from the schedule. Need to wait for hour or more. Because of that I prefer to use my own transport instead of the public one. However is not I am against it, if government can find a way to deal with that maybe Malaysian mindset about public transport change.
Agreed. Bus lanes are the cheapest and easiest way to improve bus timings. But I think there must be a barrier to ensure only buses enter bus lane and the bus lane must be on the most inner lane (fast lane) like in Istanbul (and Jakarta) this is to ensure there is no obstruction for the buses to move.
That's awesome to hear that Malaysia is adding new BRT lanes. I hope I can visit Malaysia some day soon! I wish they are doing more of that here in Toronto, cars and traffic are huge problems but they are so slow in implementing quick temporary fixes like this to improve the situation.
The fact i didn't live near there is a relief
Thanks for producing another informative video "where the truth hurts" :) The concept of bus lanes is to reduce car lanes so that Single Occupant Vehicle (SOV) will see the buses overtaking them as being faster than driving and motivate them to switch to public transport, which will then truly reduce car congestion (thereby reducing air pollution, cancer, stress time on road and carbon footprint) . Remember one double decker bus can carry 90 pax and take up 3 cars bumper to bumper space ONLY.
I will absolutely use the busses more if the route to my workplace suddenly involves bus lanes all the way! Another issue is lack of enforcement for roadside parking when they block the bus lane. Love your vids man

TEL4 23 June 2024 PW2 Teck Lee 15 August 2024 NE18 Punggol Coast 2024?
25:08 i like that little jab😂
FYI: As of yesterday, the Teck Lee LRT station of the Punggol West LRT line is officially operational, thus finally making the Punggol LRT line fully complete after almost 2 decades. Also, beyond the Cross-island line, there will also be an additional station between Bukit Gombak & Choa Chu Kang on the NSL, with the current working name as "Brickland". Also, the branch line to Changi Airport will be integrated with the TEL via the upcoming Terminal 5 from Sungei Bedok. The Terminal 5 station will also be an interchange with the original CRL plan. Which is why the current CRL terminus Aviation Park is numbered as CR2. There are also other plans like: 1) extension of Jurong Region Line from Pandan Reservoir station to Haw Par Villa station. 2) Extension of Downtown Line from Bukit Panjang to connect with NSL via another future station Sungai Kadut 3) an entirely new line (working name Seletar Line) from the north (likely Woodlands North or Sembawang) to the future Great Southern Waterfront.
Very interesting. South of Hat Yai, I heard that the train is locally referred to as the insurgency express. Lots of construction between HY and PD atm, so probably less risky there. Any chance of a a video of shopping tips for Kim Yong as a follow up.
The British colonists also took the rubber trees to the Fiji Islands.

Hey Fami. I would recommend you to get something to stabalise your camera. There is some vibrations that causes shaking during your shots and I think your videos will be much better without them. Hope you don't forget us when you get millions of views
I never realized the Lbr. KL-Seremban was built with money lent by the World Bank
yea that was quite interesting
Now there are jet operations resuming and plans to make a terminal bigger than the older terminal 1 to replace the skypark terminal
