Damn Metrobus, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia by uncle chan
If you are road user of Jalan Genting Klang (Kuala Lumpur), or student from TARC (Tunku Abdul Rahman college)/UTAR (University Tunku Abdul Rahman), you must experienced nightmare by the damn Metrobus !
Let see what the damn Metrobus done :
1) Causing heavy traffic jam
Everyday morning on weekday, road users suffer heavy traffic jam on Jalan Genting Klang (Goto Kuala Lumpur city direction will be more suffer), Metrobus will standby or move slowly with occupy one lane of the road for waiting passengers. Metrobus just cause more serious traffic jam on Jalan Genting Klang , if you go through Jalan Genting Klang everyday, you should know more clearly than me. Metrobus also cause TBR (Taman Bunga Raya which is residential beside TARC) traffic jam on TARC’s entrance on morning and evening.
2) Wasting passengers time
There is only one condition to make Metrobus start up is full of passengers. If you get in Metrobus early, then you gonna wait for full house which full until no space to stand. If you rushing time for going college or Wangsa Maju LRT station, don’t take the Metrobus otherwise you will be late.
Metro Bus at Jalan Genting Klang
One more i experienced recently is, Metrobus keep waiting opposite of TARC’s entrance and turning back to UTAR and TARC again to get more passengers until the bus full. My longest time ‘travel’ from TARC to Jalan Genting Klang is 1 hour, ridiculous.
3) Commission first, safety last
Yes, commission make them greedy, they get more commission by taking more passenger so you know why they keeping waiting for passengers. Sardine inside sandwich can be use for describe situation of full passengers inside Metrobus. They not care for safety by exceed the passengers limit, some passengers stand on the staircase and may block driver’s side mirror view.
RapidKL is much better than Metrobus because less waiting time (RapidKL driver paid by fixed salary). Unfortunately, Metrobus is the main bus in Jalan Genting Klang/Wangsa Maju areas compared to RapidKL which less busses than Metrobus. If RapidKL can increase one bus on Jalan Genting Klang/Wangsa Maju every 10-15min (include Utama and Tempatan), definitely can beat the damn Metrobus down.
Please leave comment if you experienced bad services from Metrobus and i like to know whether other areas in Kuala Lumpur has same problem from Metrobus too.
Today i saw a Malay girl , her leg was trapped by the door of Metrobus when door close. The girl scream like hell and ask for the driver open the door but the driver look like dumb ! The door opened after other passengers complaint to the driver. Pity that girl ,I can feel it’s pain on her leg….. Pukima Metrobus
hi there. im glad ive another public transport user online. im a rapidKL user.
the rapidKL also have drawbacks. the spoke-and-hub is lousy. returning from KL to Shah Alam we were dropped at the ‘hub’ and this is where we have to wait like 20mins to 40mins for the bus to take me to section 8, shah alam. this is a waste of time. cus i finish my work at 6pm and reach home 3 hours later. if d govt r serious to improve public transport, don’t make profit out of it.
Today, I travelled on Metero Bus, an Idiot Bus conductor charge me two ringgit for Jinjang to Mile 2 1/2 and when I complained he said “haga Nai” and also they stop the bus on miles 5 to buy “teh tari” for himself and for Bus driver who was smoking.
These two morons driving bus like their own personal car they do not care about public who are late from work… This is our public transport system.
All buses should have fare list in the bus stick to ceiling or windows of the bus this is consumer rights to know the price before commencement.

They are noisy, dirty and not road worthy, emit fumes into the atmosphere. Dangerous: the drivers drive at high speed swirving in and out of traffic. They are a terrible sight and do not represent KL in a good light especially to tourists. Modern City – Ancient Metro Bus! They are not worth the money! BOYCOTT METRO BUS!
I AGREE BOYCOTT METRO BUS. They terrible! So noisy and dangerous!
Terrible bus company. NOISY! DIRTY! Bad Drivers!!!
u all boy is nvm lo. they just talking with u all feel like rude!!!!……. but if girl…….. keep talking with them…..shit……feel umcomfortable when hear they talk……
The metro bus service from tanjong malim to rawang nowadays very very very bad. They moving from tanjong malim to rawang according to their own time and if there is any problem with their time management they never inform their customers who always use their service. Its shows they never bother about their customers.
This problem always happen in the morning and also in the evening. Please be a bit mercy to the workers who depend on their bus service to go to work. The work normally starts in government nor private sectors from 8.00am and and this people always late to work. Their management never accept the reason of “bus late” and their salary got cut off. So what we should do? if we tell our problems to the bus management people they only bother about their promblem no their customers who always depend on their service.
I appreciate when first time this Metro bus service come to tanjong malim wow! man its just good…not to say good but very very good. Every half and hour we will have a bus we never late to work don’t have to wait so long for the bus. But now i do no what happens its become worst and worst from time to time.
Why do we accept this kinda service. This is terrible and obvious the company done care about passengers. Never on time, staff very rude, bus dirty and noisy. Does anyone know de company address?I gonna write n complain!
Are the drivers trained or even hav licence? Crazy driving and very very noisy…..n pollution. STAY AWAY from Metro Bus.
BOYCOTT METRO BUS! USLESS!
I want the contact for the metro bus support, today they bang my friends car on purpose and run, got the bus number and picture. we caught them. dare to show us the middle finger, who do they think they are? really bang on purpose u know…
METROBUS do suck big time. it is mostly boarded by foreigners – Indon and Bangladesh.
I don’t know what we can do.I use Metrobus number 16 everyday to return from work and I face hell. The bus will move slowly to pick passengers and will make long stops to fill up the bus. The conductors are usually bitchy Malay ladies and they seem to speak like Indonesians. I wonder if Metrobus drivers and conductors are Malaysians or not.
The bell in the bus doesn’t work properly and I often have to move to the front and tell the driver to stop. My suggestion will be for RapidKL to take over Metrobus. . The Rapid KL buses are very comfortable to travel in and it has sophisticated features with more space for passengers to stand. The plastic seats are clean with no stains compared to the old filthy Metrobuses
