There are 50 ticketing counters on the first floor. A company has been appointed to work withthe bus companies on the e-ticketing system. Once e-ticketing is enforced, the tout problem can be resolved as people can now buy tickets online and via the e-kiosk.
The practice of buses waiting alongside Jalan Pudu to pick up passengers will be discontinued. Buses will now have to park at the depot at Jalan Galloway, Off Jalan Pudu, and they will be given a 20-minute waiting time before they can come into Puduraya to pick up passengers. We will experience cleaner air now outside the terminal as buses queuing up outside the terminal with their engines running and causing congestion will no longer happen.
You might want to note that Puduraya is only for intracity buses and long-distance buses going north and Seremban. If you are going south beyond Seremban, Bandar Tasik Selatan station is the station to go to.
Work on the Puduraya Hotel is expected to complete by June. The hotel has been renamed to Angkasa Express.

ReplyDeleteused to go to puduraya last time to take bus back to hometown.. now that i drive, i never go to that place anymore.. hopefully it's now way better than the previous "messy" one.. :)
ReplyDeleteI will surely miss puduraya. :( Why do we have to take our bus at BTS now? Damn it. Who's brilliant idea is it? :/
ReplyDeleteNo more a horrible place =)
ReplyDeleteBananaz, hopefully jams greatly reduced as the buses are not allowed to be waiting outside.
ReplyDeleteKen, used to be messy, alright but bearable. The new look is definitely much improved. Will have to visit the place to check it out. Lucky you, that this is still the station for you should you need to take the bus to your hometown up north.
Tekkaus, LOL! Frankly, I am glad Puduraya is still in use as its in a strategic location being in the city center with easy access to places of interest, including Chinatown and Central Market.
ReplyDeleteJfook, been to the new Puduraya already? Cool!
