20100719 Nuke da Duke?

Typical current state of affairs in our transport planning department. Malaysia Boleh all the way. This was the scenario I was stuck in this morning on the Duke highway after I exited from the house at 8am.
Pic 1: toll

Believe it or not, there was a queue. Not surprising, since the 2 million working class tax payers had to join the rat race every morning! But this not just the "tunai" lane, but ALL lanes including the Touch 'N Go lanes. All this crap in the name of proper traffic planning and efficiency! Look at all the suckers priming the cash cow. 2 phuqs per entry per booth. There's 8 booths so u get about 10 phuqs/second since it's not really sophisticated enough to have real time collection like Singapore's ERP or Dubai's 4 dirham toll gantries! Hey, we are not far off, paying half of Dubai and 5x more in car prices with a per capita income of 4x less than them! Great economics at work!
