Sadly to say, just 4 days into the Visit Malaysia Year 2007, complaints were there from tourists on the much awaited tourist bus that will bring tourists round Kuala Lumpur as stated in The Star newspaper. And some of the tourists literally waited for the bus as it was not punctual.
The Hop On-Hop Off has its own website too. When I click on other pages, for example Services, it took a few minutes to download. At this technology age, few minutes?????

When I intend to find out more on the Ticket, it has no response at all. So I went on to click Contact. Straight away, I wanted to write to them to comment on this few issues. When I started typing, the font in the Message box was so small and I'm very sure that many people will not be able to see what they were typing. Maybe it's a way to discourage people from commenting (esp. the negative ones, the lesser the better).

After finishing what I wanted to say, I clicked Submit............my my my.... can't work either. So I pasted the whole thing onto the email and emailed to them and said "Don't disappoint me by having this email rejected". Let's see how long they take to respond (still giving them a benefit of doubt with pun intended).

Apparently, this hop on hop off stuff is not new and it's being practiced at many major cities around the world - New York City / London / Paris / Dublin / Toronto / Turks & Caicos Islands / Sydney / Oslo / Vienna / Bangalore. Singapore and Dubai have this services for quite some time back also and all this countries have this services throughout the year and not wait for a particular year to have it.
