Rapid Penang vs the Competition

Besides Rapid Penang, there are two other bus companies namely Milan and KGNS. They run the Yellow and Blue bus respectively......Frankly I wonder why they even bother to do so.....their busses are crappy...noisy, produce alot of black smoke (inefficient & dirty)...

While Rapid Pg buses are not the world's best but at least they are reasonably clean and the air-cond's pretty decent.....

The reason why I griping is the buses of these two companies are unroadworthy and they (their drivers which I suspect operate as sub-contractors who rents the vehicle) hog the bus lanes in Komtar...refuses to move(trying to pick up customers)....and pollutes the air for the people who are waiting for the other buses to come.....

Unfortunately the State Government which has no power because the licencing power lies in the hands of the Entrepreuner ministry & JPJ is under the Transport Ministry, can only look and see........but I saw something that gave me a little bit of hope....4 members of the police (2 man & 2 woman) were on hand to see the buses did not block the flow of the traffic....
