Piggy Banks of RapidKL

How efficient are these 'Piggy Banks'?!

Can someone tell me if this a good implementation by RapidKL buses?


On it was stated:

"Sediakan wang tambang tepat.
Pamerkan jumlah tambang kepada pemandu.
Masukkan tambang ke dalam tabung.
Sila ambil tiket dan simpan untuk pemeriksaan."

Terima kasih.

Was there even a chance for passengers to read what was written here? How about the foreigners.. they must be wondering what was stated there..

As long as I was on the bus, I managed to see 1 lady slotting some money into it. It was all rolled up.. you wouldn't even know how much is being slotted in. In fact, how would you as a passenger to prove that you've put in the correct amount into the 'piggy bank'. How infact, if the drivers would rectify if the money was good (not vandalized or torn in halves) or if you were putting coins, how would the drivers know if that was the exact amount?

I would see that the old fashion coin box was a more logical implementation where there's a see thru' glass, where drivers & the passengers can see the amount being slotted in. At least the drivers of RapidKL can detect bad money as & when it was slotted in... probably.... 

Is this 'piggy bank' the best idea that they could come out with, when they were at one time accusing drivers of 'makan duit'?
Beats me...

Moreover, I've seen 'smart businessman' who picks up used tickets at bus terminals and resell them for a Ringgit. 

At NO cost, just 100% profit!
