AMPANG, SEP 25: The public is urged to use the free Smart Selangor bus service to reduce the carbon footprint within the Ampang Jaya Municipal Council (MPAJ) limits.
Praising the bus service, MPAJ Yang Dipertua Abd Hamid Hussain said that the public transport network effectively reduced air pollution and traffic problems.
“As a continuous effort, MPAJ is organising various campaigns to use public transport including the Smart Selangor bus service as a convenient way for the public to get around.
“At the same time, we encourage the use of technology towards a low carbon city here,” he said to SelangorKini.
He was speaking about long term initiatives and continuous plans by the council to ensure that the wellbeing of the public is preserved.
In other developments, Abd Hamid said that residents were advised to be smart when handling their domestic waste in a systematic manner.
“Waste like cooking oil should be filtered because if it is allowed to flow into drains, it may cause the entire drainage system to become clogged.
“This will lead to all sorts of issues that will encourage the breeding of rats and other related health problems,” he added.
