DISCOVER the Road to Financial FREEDOM!

I went to Tung Shin Hospital(TSH) for my medical checkup as per required by the Medical Insurance recently.

This hospital is a non-profit organization provides Western medical services, Chinese traditional medical services and health screening programs

The hospital was  located at Jalan Pudu, Kuala Lumpur and you need to pass by Puduraya Bus Station(main bus station terminal in Kuala Lumpur) to be able to reach there from Bukit Bintang.

What comes to your mind when I mention Puduraya Bus Station for car driver?

Yes.. Traffic Congestion

A lot of express buses and cabs hogging lanes outside Puduraya which cause massive congestion!

I will definitely avoid driving there unless got important matters.

But surprising, the congestion is not that bad nowadays. Thanks the new traffic dispersal proposal by the Federal Territories Ministry.

TO END SOON: We may no longer see express buses hogging the streets outside Puduraya by next month

TRAFFIC congestion around the Puduraya bus terminal could be cut by almost half in the coming months — with the new traffic dispersal proposal by the Federal Territories Ministry.

Last Saturday, Federal Territories Minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin announced three strategic steps to reduce congestion in the area. This included having waiting areas for buses, taxis and passengers in Puduraya.

Speaking to Malay Mail yesterday, Raja Nong Chik acknowledged that express buses and cabs hogging lanes outside Puduraya were the main culprits contributing to the congestion.

“There are many reasons why the buses hog the lanes. Among them is because the buses are only allowed into the platform area and have to exit within 20 minutes.”

Because of the short duration for buses to enter and exit the bus terminal, those arriving early would hog the streets while waiting their turn to enter Puduraya. It is estimated that around 300 express buses enter Puduraya on a daily basis.

Checks by Malay Mail yesterday showed that it was possible for express buses from Stadium Negara, located along Jalan Hang Jebat, to get to Puduraya by passing through Jalan Hang Tuah and later taking a left turn to enter Jalan Pudu.

Buses from Puduraya wishing to go to Stadium Negara can follow Jalan Sultan and make their way to Jalan Hang Jebat.

“What we have proposed now is for the open space beside Stadium Negara to be used by these buses as their waiting area before they make their way into Puduraya to pick up passengers,” said Raja Nong Chik.

Now, the area surrounding the stadium is empty and the move would see a reduction in congestion at Puduraya. The Ministry is now finalising the routes to be used by the buses and should be in place within a month.

“The move is needed. Up to two to three lanes on the streets are being taken up by the buses while they wait outside Puduraya.”

Raja Nong Chik also said that taxis can no longer wait outside Puduraya. They will have to drop off and pick up customers inside the Puduraya building instead.

“This is a medium-term plan. The present taxi stand needs to be re-done within the next three months to facilitate this proposal.

“We have discussed the matter with Uda Holdings Berhad, who manage Puduraya, as well as the Finance Ministry.”

Raja Nong Chik added that the move was not solely aimed at reducing traffic congestion, but also reducing air pollution in the area.
