Putra LRT... from excellent to good to bad to worse and now the worst...

This morning problem arosed again at the Putra LRT... right when it's the peak hours and people are trying to get to work. I'm not to sure what's wrong, but it was announced that problems occured between the Jelatek and Ampang Park stations.

About 4-5 years ago, the service, the train IMHO was excellent. There were no delays, no malfunctions, nothing... zip. It's was smooth and good. It was the best mode of public transportation in KL. But as time passes, it gotten kind of bad. But then it was still good. Still the best. The experience was understandable since machines after some time does have some glitches. The trains were still very well maintained. So are the feeder buses.

If not mistaken, it's gotten really bad since last year. Constant breakdowns, system malfunctions, delays and all. The buses were like never serviced. The commuters are beginning to voice dissatisfactions. Yet, the price fares has been ever increasing but services never justified.

Recently, the feeder buses changed their bus fares. Instead of paying 50sen everytime you got on the bus, they're charging RM1 with an unlimited daily ride on the bus. Such changes will only benefit some group of people while the rest are actually ending up paying more. Especially people like me who often only take one trip of the bus to one place, the another mode of transportation when getting back.

And in the space of 2 month, the LRT actually broke down trice. Not once, not twice but trice. And of the 3 times, once was caused by a flash flood happening KL not too long ago. I really wonder what is happening to Putra LRT. I believe it was after a change of management that more and more problems are arising. With it still being an important mode of transportation, especially to me, I'd really hope things will improve.
