PUTRAJAYA, Aug 11 (Bernama) -- The public can look forward to an efficient and inter-connected land transportation system within this year with the setting up of the Transportation Commission soon.
Transport Minister Datuk Ong Tee Keat said Monday the commission aimed to make the land public transportation system user-friendly for commuters and operators.
It would be a single regulatory body for land public transportation, thus making regulation, licensing and enforcement hassle-free and more efficient, he said.
He was speaking to reporters after attending a meeting to discuss the formation of the commission at the Treasury here. The meeting was chaired by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
Currently 13 agencies are responsible for the country's land public transportation system.
Ong said that certain powers vested in certain agencies needed to be reviewed as the existing jurisdiction was found to be fragmented, hampering efficiency.
He said today's meeting fine-tuned several matters pertaining to land public transportation but he did not provide details.
The commission would not overlap the Cabinet Committee on Transportation as they complemented each other, he said.
