Moreover, by using public transport, passengers will waste their time for waiting the public transport. Sometimes, passengers have waiting so long but still cannot ride into the transport. This situation always happened if people using buses and train. This leads to passengers late to arrive at their destination on time. This is happened because public transport such as bus will stop at every bus stop to pick up passengers.

Public transport such as trains and buses always full with passengers who are not only the local but also foreigner. Besides, public transport also does not have enough facilities. This can be prove by some buses not provide a special seat for OKU and this will make OKU passengers not choose public transport as their main transportation. In addition, most public transport is dirt because they does not provide dustbin inside the transport.  Due to this problem, most passengers will throw their rubbish inside the transport.
