London Public Transportation System

U. K. has a great heritage that our country should strive to achieve – the London Public Transportation System; it's so admirably developed and structured that will definitely bring them ahead of the competition in the years to come. This is a very valuable asset that have been spanning over almost 200 to 500 years. The transportation system manages a network of train, tube, bus, motor vehicles, and even canal barge. Not only that, their airports and sea ports are all connected neatly with other transport systems such as rail and road.

These modes of transport are all integrated and interlinked so well that I almost cried wondering how pity and oversight we were in the last 45 years. We were especially frustrated during the time of oil price hike.

We should be aware that we can forego the ownership of motor vehicle if a reliable and economical public transportation is available. It will virtually eliminate the traffic jam problem in a city with commuters plying on public transports. The government can not forever subsidizing and deliberately managing oil price which is often beyond our control. The public transportation system is a most suitable solution for Malaysia when income of general public is generally low in relation to other developed countries. The system will reduce our costs of doing business.

We should invest in our public transportation system now during the low period of the worldwide economy when every thing becomes extremely competitive to implement. The oil has become a scarce commodity and its price is definitely go up again in the future when economy regaining its ground.

Public transportation system is the way to go for our nation because it’s the most efficient and economical mode of transportation than the private one. It’s especially environmental friendly providing sustainability element. We should pursue the transfer of know-how aggressively from Britain to our country immediately for the sake of our future generation.

While we are facing the effect of economic crisis, the launch of public transportation projects should provide better benefits not only stimulating economy now, but also deliver a more promising future returns and advantages.

The British model is the model that we should emulate.
