Hi Nelson

Thank you for your feedback.

The plan for the Congestion Charge area has been placed at #5, for implementation beyond 2013.

Whether it actually happens or not will depend largely on politics.

Regards, Moaz for TRANSIT

The MoT should give more emphsis on the feeder service, buses that pick up passengers from suburbs and feed them to the rail system.

As a Wangsa Maju resident, I find that the feeder bus coverage is very poor. For example, there are no buses that passes Seksyen 6 Wanga Maju despite having two bus stops along Jln 6/27a near Section 6.We have to walk about 1.5km to Section 5 to ride a feeder bus to the Wangsa Maju Kelana Jaya Line station.

Hi Sri Musa

You are correct that there have been no orders of Monorail Carriages to date.

The proposal from the Ministry of Transport/Urban Transport Panel is simply a “wish list” of items and it will be interesting to see whether the Minister of Transport’s commitment will extend beyond the expansion of bus services and improvement to KTM Komuter.

Expansion of the monorail is certainly long overdue, as is expansion of the LRT lines and improvement of service frequencies.

Unfortunately, without public pressure there will be a gap between what is proposed and what happens.

What TRANSIT wants is to have everyone read the findings of the Urban Transport Panel, then call their MPs and tell them to demand these improvements, fast.

Sincerely

Moaz for TRANSIT

Hi all!

Thanks again for this wonderful website, all the coverage and hard work! Excellent!

I do have a question: one of your pictures shows that the Monorail capacity will double by 2012!! I’ve haven’t heard of any orders of either new monorails or 4-car Monorails. May someone please give more info on how the Monorail capacity will be added?
Thanks to transitMY again!!
