Simplify our public transport system

Many people find the system of bus services to be too complicated. They give up. They buy a car and use it all the time, almost.

There are many occasions where it is better to use public transport. It saves on driving time, and the hassle of looking for a parking space.

But, we need to simplify the system, so that people will find it easier to use public transport.

Here are my wishes:

* have more trains on the MRT system, so that it is less crowded and more frequent
* have low cost feeder services to MRT stations, using light buses or even private cars
* have express bus services to link the major towns centers, with just a few stops in between

Maybe, Hong Kong has a system that looks closer to my "wishes". Someone said that their system is more efficient.

I think it may be an idea to have a small bus loop service between two major mrt stations such that it runs one way from one station to the next station and take a different route to return to the first station, this way, an MRT commuter can choose either of the station to connect the bus depending on where he want to drop off along the two different route run by the small bus service. The boarding should also be near to the station exit to avoid long walking.
