Wallawei...what's the best thing you guys know about Rapid Penang/KL busses ?



          Finally got a chance to visit the Rapid Penang main control office today and to say it was completely awesome.Never had aware that a simple Scania bus meant for handicapped is that astonishing by the way the bus be a user friendly as a whole besides the bus driver being a friendly person.We got to know many great things on how these guys actually control the full rapid bus operations at the northern region. To say they are the only company who use the gps system to track down each of the busses and also has their very own emegency response team for brakdown services.



          These buses also uses a sophisticated computerised system where they can track the bus driver and know whereabouts of the bus (like total mileage, diesel consumption ....and bla bla bla....).  

         


             Now to describe about the bus....well the bus it self has it's own adjustable suspension system where it can be brought down to 4ft from the road surface to about 8ft above the surface. It also has self applied braking system (calculates the brake force and applies it when a driver pressed the brake first).The computerised system can show every single information about the bus.It's more like some kind of system that we usually find in BMW cars.

         
            The gps system is another cool thing.They are completely using a customised google earth software where it can track all the busses and they even can show their current speed.



            Cool enough? They even have a strict ruling system for the bus drivers to makesure they obey the law 100%. Hmm what else...? aah yeah they even have their own puspakom unit to inspect their busses regularly....
