BOYCOTT * Malaysia - Turns transport hub into a ghost town

Klang,Malaysia -charles santiago, by ELAN PERUMAL -February 9, 2009: -- Express bus operators disappointed by the poor business at the Klang Sentral transport hub have stepped up the pressure by organising a boycott of the terminal... Besides holding a demonstration, the operators have also decided not to use the designated bays at Terminal A of the hub. Instead, they are picking up and dropping off passengers from the roads around the hub... A visit to the site showed that the hub at Jalan Meru, which was opened on Dec 27, was almost a ghost town with the bays almost totally empty...Shira Express bus operations manager Suhaizam Md Shah said the company had 17 buses that provided services from Johor Baru to Haatyai... He said business had dropped by more than 70% and he hardly had 10 passengers for each trip... (Photos by ELAN PERUMAL)
