They question how such a policy will be enforced, adding that it will not solve anything in the long run.
Transport Minister Loke Siew Fook greeting passengers at the Seremban Terminal One yesterday. Loke says express bus companies serving the KL-Seremban route have been told to provide women-only buses on a daily basis.
“At present, there are three companies providing the service, and we have told them to provide four trips every hour between 5am and 7am for only women,” the Seremban MP said.“You can have a good policy, but without a proper framework it will be no use,” she told FMT. “As passengers, we can ask those who are not supposed to be on the bus to leave, but they may not take us seriously,” she said.Tan Heang-Lee from the Women’s Aid Organisation said women-only coaches are merely a temporary measure to address safety concerns.
Ashfar Ali, who heads the Pan-Malaysian Bus Operators Association, also asked if the policy would have a financial impact on bus operators.
