Planned Capital City has Transit Issues (and If ART May Fix)

Today we're talking about second ART trial in Putrajaya.

In Malaysian administrative capital of Putrajaya, people often drives to work or leisure as the bus service is lack of reliable frequency and the monorail project has been indefinitely postponed since 2004

Twenty years after 2004, Automated Rapid Transit (ART) has been put on three-months trial to test whether the service is suitable for a city like Putrajaya

Why is driving more preferable than bus in the administrative capital of Putrajaya and is ART the best way to solve the transit gap?
