PENANG, July 23 (Bernama) -- RapidPenang, a subsidiary of Rangkaian Pengangkutan Integrasi Deras Sdn Bhd (RapidKL) which has been appointed to offer bus transport services in the state, is all set to begin operations from next week.
State traffic management, information and community relations committee chairman Datuk Teng Hock Nan said the company has given an assurance that things will go smoothly following the planning made in the past months.
He called on the public to give a chance to RapidPenang to show its capability in running the services for them.
"Give them a chance and we want a positive attitude," he told reporters after visiting a registration counter for issuing special RapidPenang cards with 50 percent discount for senior citizens at Kompleks Tun Abdul Razak (Komtar) here Monday.
Teng said several efforts were made in the past to improve public bus services in Penang but it was still not satisfactory.
RapidPenang will be using 150 buses when its operations start on July 31 with the aim of providing good services and reducing inconvenience for users, he said.
He added that members of the public could channel complaints or give their feedback on the bus services through Tel: 04-2288991.
Meanwhile, Ng Wei Aik, political secretary to the DAP secretary-general, handed a memorandum to Teng with an appeal to the state government to review the RapidPenang fares.
