<br />The MRT solution<br />
Considered the backbone of the integrated public transport network for the Greater KL/KV, the MRT system is one of the first major transport infrastructure projects created to provide better reach for commuters and integrate existing rail networks in the region.<br />
With three lines in total – the MRT line 1 will run from Sungai Buloh-Kajang and has a total length of 51km. Line 2, on the other hand, will serve a corridor with a population of around two million, from Sungai Buloh to Serdang to Putrajaya (SSP line). Lastly, line 3 will play a crucial role in integrating all existing rail lines in Greater KL/KV through a circle line. This line is currently under the development and at the planning stage.<br />
Undeterred by challenges<br />
Since construction began on July 8, 2011, the implementation of the MRT line 1 has faced its fair share of criticism, with questions ranging from costs and purpose to the feasibility of the project.<br />
Resolute in overcoming the scepticism, the Transport Ministry, Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD), project owner Prasarana Malaysia Bhd and project delivery partner MMC-Gamuda have worked closely to ensure the project is completed on time and within budget.<br />
Despite initial speed bumps, Phase 1 of the MRT line 1 from Sungai Buloh to Semantan began operations on Dec 16 last year, 16 days ahead of schedule, while registering a savings of RM2bil from the initial target cost of RM23bil. With the launch of the second phase this coming Monday, the entire 51km MRT line 1 is on track to be completed as scheduled.<br />
Easing congestion, mobilising people<br />
As Greater KL/KV residents, we are not strangers to the frustration and inconvenience brought on by traffic congestion. <b>According to a study by the World Bank in 2015, Malaysians have been spending 250 million hours a year stuck in traffic. Imagine the quality time you could have spent for yourself and your family.</b><br />
The first order of the day for the MRT is to create better mobility for the residents in the Greater KL/KV region, complemented by the various public feeder services and facilities.<br />
With a total capacity of 1,200 passengers, the MRT line 1 is strategically positioned to serve high-density housing and fast-growing areas such as Kota Damansara, Bandar Utama, Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Batu Sebelas Cheras, Bandar Tun Hussein Onn, Kajang, etc.<br />
<b>It is projected to serve a daily ridership of 400,000 and will take about 160,000 cars off the road, resulting in higher productivity gains and better quality of life.</b><br />
According to the chief executive officer of MRT Corp, Datuk Seri Shahril Mokhtar,[b# productivity is expected to increase to 280 million hours annually with the MRT. This translates to about RM20bil per annum in time savings.[/b]<br />
Additionally, MRT will help reduce environmental pollution in the country. <b>In a study conducted by the United Nations University, the MRT lines 1 and 2 are expected to deduct more than 550,000 trips or 5.6 million km travelled on city roads by private vehicles. This is the equivalent of 227,800 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year in emissions avoided, making MRT the single largest green infrastructure project in Malaysia.</b><br />
Making the MRT accessible<br />
Despite the benefits that the MRT will bring about, we are equally aware that the project can only succeed if there is a solid “nerve system” in place. To this end, the Government has focused on enhancing the first- and last-mile connectivity, a move to ensure sufficient transportation is available for commuters to travel to and from their homes to public transportation hubs.<br />
The MRT feeder bus is one such solution. The fare is set at only RM1, and there are currently 26 routes serving 12 stations of the first phase of MRT line 1. An additional 22 routes will be introduced when all the MRT line 1 stations begin operations next week. In total, 300 dedicated feeder buses will be deployed to serve the 400,000 commuters.
I mean metro, not light rail or commuter rail. The only metro (MRT) line is line 9, which has started operation last year.Actually they already have 2 LRT lines and 2(?) Communter line. So this ain't their first rodeo, as to so speak.
Actually metro has wide range of meaning. It can be name to mean the system in general or just the type of system. In fact some metro are just light rails (trams) and no MRTs.I mean metro, not light rail or commuter rail. The only metro (MRT) line is line 9, which has started operation last year.
This looks so good, finally the PT looks more world class then the "disrepair" that's the LRT underground stations...(hope Prasarana would do something about that, even Singapore's NSEWL don't look that way... And I believe it's much older)Malaysia mrt construction is actually part of the National Transformation Programme to propel malaysia onto greater height. Three lines are identified, first is mrt sbk line of 52 km which is 99.99 % complete,due to open on 17/7/2017. Second is mrt ssp line or mrt2, 53 km which is 10% complete ,due to open in 2 phases in 2021 and 2022 and third yet unnamed mrt circle line, around 40km to 50 km in loop still under feasibility study.
The minister of transportation penned his thoughts how mrt construction will affectt the urban living in greater KL.
