Suhaini Aznam (The Star)
Since the Government’s announcement of a RM10bil allocation to upgrade the Klang Valley transport system, various ‘experts’ have offered unsolicited advice. But according to the man in charge, the final route will be well plotted, Suhaini Aznam has the story.
KUALA LUMPUR, 24 Sept - FOLLOWING the crow’s direct flight path, urban commuters have found that their fastest way into the city is by light rapid transit (LRT). Speeding over traffic snarls on the highway, a total of 320,000 commuters take the line daily, most of them professionals and students. The LRT and the monorail are the future. Congested Penang was recently allocated RM2.8bil for a second bridge and RM1.2bil for a light monorail system.
Of the RM10bil allocated to the Klang Valley under Budget 2007, RM7bil will be spent on extending existing lines to capture densely populated housing enclaves. The Kelana Jaya line will reach out to Subang Jaya and USJ; the Sri Petaling line to Puchong.
In addition, Syarikat Prasarana Nasional Bhd (SPNB) has also been tasked with building a totally new line to Kota Damansara.
The routes are still on the drawing board. SPNB currently has 13 options for the Kelana Jaya line and 12 options for the Sri Petaling line. A finalised blueprint will only be out in October.

Co-incidentally enough, this Friday also features RapidKL's launch of Area 5 and 6 (Puchong, Petaling Jaya, Damansara and the rest of West Klang Valley) at Sunway Pyramid. To celebrate, the administrators of transit.vectordesigns.org are buying whoever who would join us for lunch at Sunway Pyramid on Friday, where you can get the latest brochures and lowdown on RapidKL's latest revamped routes. We are of course also making sure to leave our cars at home and take public transport this week! :) Those interested in a car-free lunch, please email

If you know anything at all about public transportation in Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley, you'll probably know at least three things: it is notoriously hard to get into if you're a newbie, it would be absolutely great if we didn't have to drive a car and park and go through traffic jams if only we had more information, and lastly, it's still got lots of room for improvement.
transit kualalumpur is set to bring information and opinions together so living may be a little more pleasant in this urban jungle ... transit kualalumpur is a project by vectordesigns. For anyone in the know, this site has also bee made possible by Joomla! and the lovely rhuk solarflare.

As soon as I stepped into our office on the morning of Wednesday, August 9, 2006, the Project Manager for the Klang Valley Public Transportation Information System announced that disgruntled bus passengers in Penang were staging a peaceful demonstration on Friday, August 11, 2006. She’d just read about it in Penang’s grassroots activism website, www.penangwatch.net. Guess what, I was assigned to cover this event and build contacts with transit activists in and around Penang!
Before I reported for work the next morning, I went to KL Sentral to purchase a train ticket to Bukit Mertajam, and went straight to this futuristic railway station right after work on Thursday evening. Armed with a take-away dinner pack, I found my seat on the north-bound Langkawi Express.
