Lesser vehicles on the road, after gasoline hitting RM2.70 per litre
Could it be co-incidental, people's over reaction or the weekend is around the corner? It's very apparent that there were lesser vehicles on the road for the past two days during rush hour along one of the busiest roads in Klang Valley, Jalan Tun Razak that is.
All these while, vehicles coming from Sg Besi, Seremban highway will packed Jalan Tun Razak every evening after work without fail but yesterday was a totally different story altogether, I have never seen that stretch leading to the city that empty before... and driving on the other direction heading Sg. Besi was a breeze too.
Coming to work this morning was faster than ever too, whizzing through at 80, 90 or even 100km/h on the usual bumper to bumper stretch.
Whatever happen now could be just the aftershocks of the 4th of June announcement and gradually the roads will be filled with cars again because we all know that most Malaysians are just too dependent on their cars, not because they want to but due to the crappy public transport infrastructures that we have over here.
Only time can tell for how long the streets will remain like this...
