| After hobbling along for nigh on two years, Triton has finally bitten the dust. Indeed, after having seemed to start out so courageously with plum routes such as the feeder from KL Sentral, as well as from the Subang Jaya KTM and Taman Jaya LRT stations, the smiley faced logo from this bus operator is smiling no more. Why? Triton was a victim of political machinations or misplaced affiliations, one could be intimated of something of that ken. Certainly, from having those routes, its operations had in the past two years or so been whittled down to relatively inconsequential routes, such as the paid (and free) bus from Midvalley to Bangsar LRT station, as well as long distance stage routes to Seremban (route 101) and Sungai Lui (route 102). |  |
Then there was what seemed like its bread-and-butter route, route 302 to Taman Alam Megah (in southern industrial Shah Alam), but that has since been descended upon by operators such as Metrobus (who ran route 37C) and RapidKL (routes U65 and T526). In fact, Metrobus’ 37C has in turn been muscled out by RapidKL and its daily fares (which is of course another story for another chin wag).  | But getting back to Triton, the best form of reportage we can give is, having spoken to someone from the operations side in early December, they said something along the lines of “kita dah stop semua operation” and that more specifically, routes 101 and 102 had already stopped round July. There could be other reasons other than those mentioned for its demise. We’re not too sure to be honest. But it’s probably, as in much in life, a combination of several. | | | |
