As Malaysians, we tend to overlook the beauty of our own surroundings until the moment when foreigners make a point of it with compliments, be it our delectable cuisine, captivating literature, rich cultural heritage, or enchanting locales. 
Gaz, a Twitter user recently showcased his fascination with the beauty of our bus terminal through a series of breathtaking photographs, highlighting the Southern Integrated Terminal, also known as Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS), in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. These images serve as a poignant reminder of the hidden local gems within our own backyard that are worthy of appreciation and celebration.

Terminal bus udah kyk bandara, ada departures &amp; arrivals board segede gaban. Sistem penjualan tiketnya terpusat. Semua kaunter/loket melayani penjualan semua tiket PO bus ke berbagai tujuan. Gak tau deh bagi hasilnya kyk gimana. 📍 Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS), KL <a href="https://t.co/MLUsKgXbjc">pic.twitter.com/MLUsKgXbjc</a>

Despite our tendency to perceive the local bus terminal as ordinary, its true beauty has managed to captivate even the discerning eyes of Gaz. He expressed his enchantment, likening the experience to that of being in an airport. The transformation of what we might consider mundane into something extraordinary underscores the power of appreciation and the unique perspectives that outsiders bring to our everyday surroundings.

In a full statement in Malay, he mentioned &ldquo;The bus terminal looks like an airport, there are departures and arrivals boards as big as Gavan (a character from the 80&rsquo;s Japanese live-action TV series &ldquo;Space Sheriff Gavan&rdquo;). The ticket sales system is centralized. All counters sell tickets from every bus company to various destinations.&rdquo;

In addition to the convenient ticket purchasing process, the terminal&rsquo;s design exemplifies a seamless navigation experience, as attested by Gaz. Beyond the ease of acquiring tickets, the straightforward layout of the Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) ensured that even foreign tourists like Gaz encountered no complications upon entry.

The moment you step into the building, the well-defined placement of the lobby and ticket counters, coupled with an intelligible building layout, ensures that individuals, including Gaz, can effortlessly find their way without the risk of getting lost while determining which counter to go to.
He furthered on by saying, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s different from the Pulogebang Terminal in Jakarta cause you&rsquo;d be confused about which counter you should go to. Not to mention being harassed by random brokers as well.&rdquo; 
With that being said, our TBS was so much better than in Indonesia since Gaz was very much amazed by the appealing beauty of the new TBS. 
Netizens&rsquo; Response To The Transformation Of TBS 
As of the time of composition, the post showcasing the new and transformative TBS has amassed an impressive 1.3M views, accompanied by 3.3K likes and 1.2K shares. The online community, or netizens, collectively expressed awe at the distinctive layout of TBS, with one enthusiast expressing a desire to visit soon.

&nbsp;The Beginning Establishment Of TBS 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/67a7ca52612f94a38033e9031b564e09bdc80d05fc7f982a62951301ecfe64aa" />
Established on December 6, 2010, Maju Terminal Management and Services (Maju TMAS) emerged as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Maju Holdings Sdn Bhd, assuming the vital role of administrator and operator of the Southern Integrated Transport Terminal in Bandar Tasik Selatan, widely recognized as Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS), through an appointment by the Government of Malaysia.
Maju TMAS stands as a beacon of efficiency, providing seamless operations, maintenance, facility management, and retail services at TBS. Leveraging cutting-edge technology, the terminal prioritizes the delivery of unparalleled comfort and convenience to passengers heading in the East, North, and South directions, as well as to terminal visitors.
Commencing its public operations on January 1, 2011, TBS has played a pivotal role in alleviating traffic congestion by diverting the daily influx of over 1000 express buses away from the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Significantly, TBS offers more than just a transportation hub; its strategic location, within a short walking distance of the KLIA Transit, KTM Komuter, and RapidKL LRT stations, ensures seamless accessibility for passengers and visitors alike, enhancing the overall travel experience to and from TBS.
Our TBS is said to have evolved significantly which has caught the attention of foreign tourists like Gaz to admire and appreciate its beauty and architectural design besides the convenience of the ticket purchasing process. 
This will eventually encourage more foreign tourists to come and visit Malaysia which can bring in more revenue and improve the country&rsquo;s economy with regard to the tourism and transportation aspects.
