Small Font V2 Klang Valley: Rail Public Transport The World Bank Malaysia Economic Monitor 2015 reported that traffic congestion in Greater Kuala Lumpur was estimated to have costed 1.1 – 2.2% of GDP in 2014. Public transport is one way to alleviate traffic congestion. With the Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit (KVMRT) Line 1 slated for completion at the end of this year, exciting times are ahead for potential commuters. The launch of the Kelana Jaya and Ampang on 30 June 2016 extension lines herald a new dawn in Greater Klang Valley rail public transport. More projects are in the pipeline, such as LRT3, Klang Valley Double Track project, and MRT Line 2.

  • The Development and Distribution Pattern of Railway Network for Urban Public Transport Using GIS from 1990 Until 2019 in the Klang Valley and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
    JOURNAL OF SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION AND REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT VOL. 2 NO. 2 (2020) 1-10 © Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia Publisher’s Office Journal of Social Transformation JSTARD and Regional Journal homepage: http://publisher.uthm.edu.my/ojs/index.php/jstard Development e-ISSN : 2682-9142 The Development and Distribution Pattern of Railway Network for Urban Public Transport Using GIS from 1990 Until 2019 in The Klang Valley and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Mohd Sahrul Syukri Yahya1*, Edie Ezwan Mohd Safian1, Burhaida Burhan1 1Faculty of Technology Management and Business, Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia, 86400 Parit Raja, Batu Pahat, Johor, MALAYSIA *Corresponding Author DOI: https://doi.org/10.30880/jstard.2020.02.02.001 Received 20 July 2020; Accepted 30 October 2020; Available online 30 December 2020 Abstract: The development and distribution pattern of the railway network has significantly increased in urban public transport with the current situation to move fast towards the fourth industrial revolution (4IR). In Malaysia, the problem issues are related to traffic congestion and many user cars on the roadway in daily lives. One alternative mode of using a rail network is commuter, LRT, Monorail, MRT and ETS. Therefore, the Geographic Information System (GIS) technology is then used to map and produce the railway networks history and developments in urban public transportation (UPT). The goal of this research is to identify the heatmap trends of the Klang Valley railway stations which included Kuala Lumpur as urban public transport sectors. It was based on the OSM image layer from the year 1990 to 2019 and studied the growth of railway networks through a polyline pattern analysis.

    Section 3 Project Description Projek Mass Rapid Transit Laluan 2 : Sg. Buloh – Serdang - Putrajaya Detailed Environmental Impact Assessment SECTION 3 : PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3. SECTION 3 : PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.1 INTRODUCTION The main objective of the Project is to facilitate future travel demand in the Klang Valley and to complement the connectivity to Kuala Lumpur by improving the current rail coverage and increasing accessibility of public transport network to areas not currently served or covered by public transport. The SSP Line will serve the existing residential areas, minimize overlapping with existing rail service and provide convenient access to Kuala Lumpur city centre. This section describes the Project in terms of the proposed alignment and stations, the planning and design basis, operation system and the construction methodology. 3.2 PLANNING AND DESIGN BASIS The over-arching principles in the development of the KVMRT is even network coverage, entry into the city centre, location of stations in densely populated areas and ability to sustain future expansion. The GKL/KV PTMP has identified key issues in the rail network such as capacity and quality of existing systems, integration between modes, gaps in network coverage and mismatch in land use planning. Considering the gap in the network, particularly in the northwest – southern corridor, the SSP Line is designed to serve the city centre to Sg Buloh, Kepong, Serdang and Putrajaya areas. The SSP Line will traverse through high density residential and commercial areas and has the capacity to move large volumes of people from the suburban areas to the employment and business centres. In terms of planning basis, the main objectives of the Project are as follows:- • To meet the increasing demand for rail based urban public transportation • To increase the railway network coverage and its capacity • To provide better integration between the new SSP Line and existing rail lines such as LRT, Monorail, SBK Line and KTM lines as well as the future High Spee Rail.

  • Than a Free Bus Ride”—Exploring Young Adults’ Perceptions of Free Bus Services Using a Qualitative Approach: a Case Study of Penang, Malaysia
    sustainability Article “More Than a Free Bus Ride”—Exploring Young Adults’ Perceptions of Free Bus Services Using a Qualitative Approach: A Case Study of Penang, Malaysia Nur Sabahiah Abdul Sukor 1,* , Surachai Airak 1 and Sitti Asmah Hassan 2 1 School of Civil Engineering, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Nibong Tebal 14300, Penang, Malaysia; [email protected] 2 School of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Skudai 81310, Johor, Malaysia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Encouraging the younger generation to use public transport can revolutionise the way that citizens commute in the future; hence, municipalities must provide good public transport services to encourage their use. A free bus service was introduced in Penang, Malaysia, to support the sustainable agenda and to provide transport for low-income groups. However, the lack of ridership resulted in the service being far from achieving its target. This study assessed young adults’ perceptions of the current free bus service in Penang to design a strategy to attract them to use the free bus. In this study, six focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted with young adults aged between 18 and 25 years old studying in three different higher institutions located along the route of the free bus. The data collected were analysed using thematic analysis, in which four areas were identified—free service, reliability, information provision, and attractive service. Finally, this paper Citation: Sukor, N.S.A.; Airak, S.; provides valuable input on initiatives to further encourage young adults to use the free bus service Hassan, S.A. “More Than a Free Bus in Penang.
