Some recent amendments to information regarding a couple of Cityliner's route times and frequencies as well as contact num bers follow. By the way, the routes run by Cityliner are variously mentioned as run by Transnasional and Klang-Banting. If we sometimes sound confused, that's because we are! We believe the definition of operational entities goes something like this: Transnasional (or officially Kumpulan Transnasional Berhad) own various subsidiaries which include Klang-Banting, which has historically run routes between KL and Klang and Banting.

this enquiry came in from the website: "I was wondering if you had any information or contacts regarding the new bus stop design's that were approved by kl city hall?I found it interesting that the star seemed to have a lot of comments from the public and an unidentified survey company, but no revert from any city council.. Would you be able to spread some light on this issue or perhaps have an opinion on the new bus stop design issue?" 

moderator's response:"As anyone can see, they are constructed by Parisign, an advertising company. It looks like Parisign has set up these bus stops in return for the right to sell the advertising space on them. That's my guess. In my personal opinion, I reckon that the new bus stop design is aesthetically beautiful. However, there have been a couple of times when I was waiting for a bus at these stops (eg at Jln Semarak and an Tmn Desa) when the seats didn't seem to be fully constructed yet. I think on the Jln Semarak one, neither was the roof, so I and a couple of other passengers ended up waiting somewhere else because the metal seats were hot. Of course, that brings us to the next point, which is that they look beautiful but they don't give much protection from sunlight nor rain. In fact, most of the time, the seating seems to not extend across the entire width of the stop, but alternates along the panels." 

MALAYSIA and Singapore have approved the construction of a bullet train line to be built by Malaysian conglomerate YTL Corp to link the two countries, according to a newspaper report yesterday.

But in Singapore, a Ministry of Transport spokesman said the Republic is still waiting for a proposal from the Malaysian government for the high-speed link.

'We are open to the idea of a high-speed rail link, and we look forward to receiving a proposal from the Malaysian government,' the spokesman said.

The New Straits Times, citing an unnamed official from YTL, said yesterday that the rail line would cost some RM8.1 billion (S$3.6 billion).

Counting down to Vision 2020, Malaysia is progressing rapidly day by day. The cityscape is changing on daily basis, so as our public transit system.

After the launching of new bus network in Area 2 (Kepong, Segambut, Selayang and Gombak), RapidKL is now fine tuning some of the routes. Today, we are announcing the changes to routes of local shuttles 233 and 235.

When first launched, route 233 was plying the route from Taman Melati LRT to Titiwangsa hub. However, it was shortened to just Sri Kelantan public housing scheme in Jalan Sentul after a while. Now, it is extended to Sentul LRT.
