Good to hear that feeder bus will be serving all pasangers traveling in metro, but why the INTERNATIONAL CITY has left alone, it looks like the International City people are not complying to travel? No any feeder bus provided to the area, even they can do and can be conected to Rashidiya, But so sad.
