PLANNING PROCESS

Buses play an important role in the overall transport system because they provide first and last mile
connectivity in busy towns and cities and remain a primary mode of transport in areas that are not
covered by other public transit routes.
In Peninsular Malaysia, the stage bus annual ridership for 2014 stood at 68 million for areas other
than Kuala Lumpur, and 155 million for Kuala Lumpur alone. This represents about 70% of stage bus
ridership in Malaysia.
Since 2012, SPAD has retained stage bus services through the Interim Stage Bus Support Fund to
sustain the operations of 175 stage bus operators and 659 routes. This has benefited more than
330,000 passengers per day.
In kulim , we have a bus services that near by tasik. This is why we call kulim is strategy place. As
what we can see bus services at kulim was advanced from before.
After 5 years(short term) , SPAD will root problems faced by the stage bus industry at kulim. Under
this programme, the Federal Government will invest RM100 million in key cities including kulim ,
Kangar, Seremban, Ipoh, and Kuala Terengganu to improve the rakyats mobility and accessibility,
where stage buses still remain the backbone of public transportation.
After 15 years (medium term) ,In the mid to long term period, the Bus Network Revamp (BNR) aims to
help the bus industry remain sustainable by reducing a disproportionate number of bus operators
competing to serve selected routes.
Finally for 25 years (long term) in the long term, maybe at station bus kulim will have an airport and
busy place to visited. I thought we will have a money changer at there and many stall at there. For the
last thing that will change is people will more choose bus for transport because it will more cheap in
the future there is no competition.
