Implementation of RapidPass Touch 'N' Go

To be perfectly honest, I don't find this method any convenient at all. Not one bit. Instead, it brings a lot of inconvenience. First, the Touch 'N' Go machines in some stations are always faulty. Second, you need to queue up with the rest of the commuters at the gates to get out. Third, more time wasted if the machine unable to read your card or when it said your card is invalid in that particular station, when it is valid at the previous station you came from. Fourth, the RapidPass Touch 'N' Go only valid for 30 days (so how about the months with 31 days?!)
I don't understand why the Prasarana management have to implement such method. Why can't they just improve the punctuality and the efficiency of the service? I scoffed at the remark when they said

"Rapidpass Touch 'n Go is actually a superior product as it offers more flexibility in terms of usage"

 (Excerpted from http://www.mmail.com.my/content/35984-rapidpass-only-30-days)

I seriously feel the manual Rapidpass is much more convenient. Reasons?

1. NO queue. Just flashed the pass to the guard and out you go.
2. NO reload or activation, etc and other inconvenience.
3. NO need to worry about faulty machines.

I'm not the only one who disagree with Prasarana's method. Check out the following links:

See, Prasarana created so much inconvenience and disadvantages for frequent commuters like me. I don't believe all the bullshits that come out from their mouth about convenience and following the trend or technology. All bullshits.
