this enquiry came in from the website: "I was wondering if you had any information or contacts regarding the new bus stop design's that were approved by kl city hall?I found it interesting that the star seemed to have a lot of comments from the public and an unidentified survey company, but no revert from any city council.. Would you be able to spread some light on this issue or perhaps have an opinion on the new bus stop design issue?" 

moderator's response:"As anyone can see, they are constructed by Parisign, an advertising company. It looks like Parisign has set up these bus stops in return for the right to sell the advertising space on them. That's my guess. In my personal opinion, I reckon that the new bus stop design is aesthetically beautiful. However, there have been a couple of times when I was waiting for a bus at these stops (eg at Jln Semarak and an Tmn Desa) when the seats didn't seem to be fully constructed yet. I think on the Jln Semarak one, neither was the roof, so I and a couple of other passengers ended up waiting somewhere else because the metal seats were hot. Of course, that brings us to the next point, which is that they look beautiful but they don't give much protection from sunlight nor rain. In fact, most of the time, the seating seems to not extend across the entire width of the stop, but alternates along the panels."
