Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle

One of the famous automobile manufacturers in Japan, Honda, had created a car, FCX Clarity, which does not need a single drop of petrol to move. The car uses a fuel cell which converts hydrogen and oxygen into electricity, which will act as an alternate to petrol.

This environmental-friendly vehicle emits only water vapour, instead of smoke which pollutes the air. Using vehicles that use hydrogen with fuel cell technology, reduces our dependence on petrol, and will significantly helps reducing the increase in greenhouse gases.

The Public Transportation

The sudden increase of our petrol price in June, caused the public to lose their trust in the current government.
After that, the government explained that the world oil price is going up, and they can't afford to give too much subsidy. They promised that they will use the profit to improve our public transportation.
This somehow reminds me about the previous time, after the price increase, the government did promise us the same thing. However, the quality of the public transportation, especially the domestic bus services, are still the same. They broke their promise last time, so is there anyone believing them again?
Now, the government says that they will start improving the public transportation in KUALA LUMPUR. Then how about other states? Do they think that only those who live in Kuala Lumpur need the public transportation, but not those in other states?
Another thing, how are they planning to improve it? Getting more vehicles? That's all? Let's hope that they do something which can really help us.
