  • Users' Perceptions on Parking Utilization Pattern at Park-And-Ride
    USERS’ PERCEPTIONS ON PARKING UTILIZATION PATTERN AT PARK-AND-RIDE FACILITY IN PUTRAJAYA SENTRAL Sharifah Adibah Alyia Syed Adnan1 and Abdul Azeez Kadar Hamsa2 ABSTRACT The increasing number of private vehicles in Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya has created inadequate parking spaces and traffic congestion. The limited parking spaces for the public at Government complexes and its surroundings in Putrajaya had lead to the increasing number of illegal parking. As an initiative to encounter this problem, the concerned authority had provided the park-and-ride facilities at public transportation terminal in Putrajaya. The provision of park-and-ride scheme would obviously promote the use of rail transit, thus shifting the users from using motorcar to public transport. Putrajaya Sentral is the main public transportation hub of Putrajaya which provides multi-modal public transportation services such as Express Rail Link (ERL), intercity buses, intra-city buses namely as ‘Nadi Putra’, express buses and taxi services. However, the existing parking spaces at the park and ride facility in Putrajaya Sentral are not fully utilized. Thus, this paper highlights the user’s perceptions on parking utilization pattern at Putrajaya Sentral park and ride facility in order to examine the current parking demand at the parking facility. Parking inventory survey to determine existing physical conditions of the parking facility and questionnaire survey to evaluate the perceptions of the users on the parking usage pattern were administered. The findings showed that most of the users (78%) parked their vehicles for longer duration (more than eight hours). The multi-storey parking facility was found to have higher demand than surface parking due to minimal parking fees and longer operation hours.

  • Media Release Final Tunnel Boring Machine Breakthrough for the Mrt Putrajaya Line
    MEDIA RELEASE FINAL TUNNEL BORING MACHINE BREAKTHROUGH FOR THE MRT PUTRAJAYA LINE Kuala Lumpur, 17 July 2020: The MRT Putrajaya Line (previously known as the MRT Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya Line) saw its final tunnel boring machine (TBM) breakthrough at the Ampang Park MRT Station site today, marking a major milestone for the project. The TBM, codenamed TBM 774, was launched in September 2019 from Conlay MRT Station site and excavated a section of the MRT tunnel beneath Jalan Stonor, Persiaran KLCC, Jalan Binjai and Jalan Ampang as well as the LRT Kelana Jaya Line tunnels to the Ampang Park MRT Station site, a distance of 917 metres. The breakthrough – where a TBM completes its excavation work and bores through the wall and breaks into a station box or shaft – was witnessed by Datuk Mohd Zarif Hashim, the newly appointed Chief Executive Officer of Mass Rapid Transit Corporation Sdn Bhd (MRT Corp). “We congratulate MMC Gamuda for the TBM breakthrough today. This is a major milestone for the project,” he said during the event. He added that today’s breakthrough also showed that the project was able to achieve good progress despite the Covid-19 pandemic. Also present at the breakthrough were MRT Corp’s Project Director MRT Putrajaya Line Dato’ Amiruddin Ma’aris, MMC Gamuda KVMRT (PDP SSP) Sdn Bhd Directors Dato’ Ir Paul Ha and Datuk Seri Che Khalib Mohd Noh as well as MMC Gamuda MRT Putrajaya Line Project Director Dato’ Wong Wai Ching. MMC Gamuda is the turnkey contractor for the construction of the MRT Putrajaya Line.

  • Service Disruption on Mrt Kajang Line Due to Signalling Problems
    MEDIA STATEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SERVICE DISRUPTION ON MRT KAJANG LINE DUE TO SIGNALLING PROBLEMS KUALA LUMPUR, 16 August 2021- MRT Kajang Line is experiencing a service disruption due to signalling problems that were detected at 9.15am today that caused all trains that were in operations along the MRT Kajang Line to be held at platforms along its entire alignment starting from MRT Sungai Buloh Station to MRT Kajang Station. “The signalling problems are believed due to a technical issue and Rapid KL’s Engineering Department, together with BT Alstom who is the system’s manufacturer and Mass Rapid Transit Corporation Sdn Bhd (MRT Corp), are working to resolve this so that MRT Kajang Line could operate normally as soon as possible,” said a statement issued by the rail operator today. When the signalling problems were detected, all trains that were in operations switched to manual mode and were driven by Transit Officers to the nearest station, at a speed of not more than 25km/hour. Passengers were advised to disembark and take alternative transport in order to continue with their journey. Then, MRT Kajang Line suspended its operations from 11.15am to 3.45pm to allow for diagnostic work and full system reboot to be performed. It has since resumed operations at 3.45pm in revised service mode. “We deeply regret the inconvenience and would like to apologise to our passengers for this service disruption. For the safety of all involved, MRT Kajang Line is currently operating on revised service mode where trains would be moving slower and dwelling at platforms longer,” it added.

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.

  • Construction Sector Remains Challenging As the Federal Government Is Reviewing Ongoing Infrastructure Projects to Reduce Costs by 20-33%
    4 October 2018 Waiting for the other shoe to drop Sector Update The outlook for the Construction sector remains challenging as the federal government is reviewing ongoing infrastructure projects to reduce costs by 20-33%. Projects that could be affected include the Construction Klang Valley MRT Line 2 (MRT2) and LRT Line 3 (LRT3), Pan Borneo Highway (PBH) and Gemas-Johor Bahru Electrified Double Tracking (EDT). There are opportunities in state government projects in Penang and Sarawak. Maintain our NEUTRAL call. Top BUYs are IJM, Suncon Neutral (maintain) and HSS. Potential MRT2 cost cuts We gather that the MRT2 project could see a 25% reduction in cost to RM24bn from an initial estimate of RM32bn.

  • Section 3 Project Description Projek Mass Rapid Transit Laluan 2 : Sg
    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.
