Have you ever noticed that every festive season in Kuala
Lumpur, tens and thousands of people find it difficult to get
transport to Balik Kampung?
The existing public transport system is just not sufficient
to handle the demand.
But did you know of that during the same time approximately
200,000 passenger cars leave Kuala Lumpur either to the north
or south and about 20% are Single Occupancy Vehicles, which
means the car is empty except for the driver.
That means potentially there are 120,000 vacant seats going
to the north and south of Peninsula Malaysia every holiday
season (assuming one car can take 3 passengers).
Imagine if all those people who are struggling to find transport,
so they can Balik Kampung to see their loved ones, had a way
to access and share these unused seats.
Well the wait is over; Tune Travel provides a secure and
easy way in which all Malaysians can create travel partnerships
be it during festival Balik Kampung or carpooling to work
everyday.
Think about it, a car with 2 people in it is twice as efficient,
takes up much less road space, uses half the fuel and produces
half the pollution as 2 cars with just one driver in each.
Already in Kuala Lumpur during peak hours, the Buses, the
LRT, the KTM Commuter and the Roads are all full. So really
the only remaining capacity is the empty seats in the Single
Occupancy Vehicles that travel to the city everyday.
By creating travel partnerships such as carpooling, we all
can save quite a lot of money especially with ever increasing
petrol, toll and parking charges. (Click here to see how
much you can save).
Not only that, if more Malaysians carpool to work surely
traffic congestion can be reduced and less time and fuel will
be spent travelling to the office during peak hours.
And better yet the fewer cars on the road means less CO2 will be produced and that helps protect the environment as
CO2 produced by vehicles is very damaging to the environment.
To illustrate, if you drive a 1.5 litre car 40km to and from
work every day, you will produce approximately 2 tonnes of
CO2 a year which needs approximately 800 tress to absorb and
reconvert into O2 .
It is estimated that 1 tree produces enough O2 for 4 people
to survive a year.
So fewer cars on the road, means less fuel used, less money
spent, less time wasted, less traffic jams, less stress and
more O2 for us to breath.
