MAKING KL THE WORLD`S MOST LIVABLE CITY

MAKING KL
THE WORLD’S
MOST LIVABLE CITY

GREATER KUALA LUMPUR/ KLANG VALLEY (1/2)

The definition of the GKL/KV region is taken from the Economic Transformation
Programme (ETP).

The region comprises Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya (administrative capital of Malaysia)
and all districts in the state of Selangor (with the exception of Kuala Langat, Kuala
Selangor, Sabak Bernam and Ulu Selangor).

In 2010, the population of Greater KL/KV was approximately 6 million and it
contributes about RM263 billion to the nation’s GNI.
GREATER KUALA LUMPUR/ KLANG VALLEY (2/2)
Greater KL/KV is composed of 10 local authorities

GROWTH IN GKL/KV

The population forecasts for 2020 assume a capacity of 10 million
people in the region with the largest growth forecast in Klang, Sepang
and Putrajaya. This is a 59% increase in population compared to
2010.

The Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) City Plan forecasts the growth in
jobs from 729,000 in 2005 to 1.2 million in 2010 and 1.4 million in
2020.

New major commercial developments such as the Tun Razak
Exchange (TRX), Warisan Merdeka development, MATRADE, Cochrane
redevelopment and Rubber Research Institute land in Sungai Buloh.
LAND PUBLIC TRANSPORT (LPT) IN GKL/KV TODAY



Increasing trend of usage of private vehicles by residents in the Greater Kuala
Lumpur/Klang Valley (GKL/KV) area.
The morning peak modal share for public transportation has fallen from
34% in the 1980’s to 10% to 12% in 2008, which is very low compared to Hong
Kong (90%), Singapore (63%), and London (55%).
Reasons for the increasing trend in usage of private vehicles are:
 Increase of the highway network supply
 Cheap subsidised fuel
 Rise in household incomes
 Thriving automotive industry unlike Hong Kong/Singapore
 Affordability of cars/easy access to low interest loans
 Poor quality of public transport (specifically the unreliability of buses/ poor
connectivity of rail network)

GKL/ KV WILL CONTINUE TO GROW
– PRESSURE ON EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE
7
CAN OUR CURRENT TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE COPE?

GKL/KV will be congested by 2020, private vehicle registrations in the
country is ever increasing.

So building more roads is not the solution
GOALS FOR LAND PUBLIC TRANSPORT (LPT)
The Government Transformation Programme (GTP) (Source: Pemandu, 2010), the
NKRA (National Key Result Area) for Urban LPT defined a number of goals for LPT:
 Raise modal share
- Mode Share = percentage of journeys made by public transport
(including bus and rail)
 Improve reliability and journey times
 Enhance comfort and convenience
 Improve accessibility and connectivity
- Accessibility = percentage of population within 400 metres of a public transport
service (including bus and rail)
CHANGING ROLES OF THE MODES IN THE FUTURE
The GKL/KV LPT Master Plan defines the changing roles of the modes into the future:
 Rail will be the future spine of the network in terms of capacity and accessibility.

Bus will support the rail system by providing feeder services to rail services and by
providing services in the secondary corridors not served by rail and providing local
services to district centres.

Taxi will fill in the gaps in space and time and provide a quality option for door to
door travel where cost is not a deciding factor.
KLANG VALLEY MRT PROJECT (KVMRT PROJECT)
 The Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit project is one of the Entry Point Projects (EPP)
under the Greater Kuala Lumpur National Key Economic Area (NKEA).
 The KVMRT Project was approved by the Government of Malaysia in December 2010
and officially launched on 8 July 2011 by the Prime Minister of Malaysia,
YAB Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib Bin Tun Abdul Razak.
 KVMRT is a proposed 3 line Mass Rapid Transit system in Klang Valley/ Kuala Lumpur.
NEW MRT LINES FOR GKL/KV AREAS AS PROPOSED IN THE ETP



3 MRT lines for GKL/KV under the ETP have been proposed including the extension of LRT
and Monorail lines.
The first MRT (Sungai Buloh-Kajang) line serving the most critical catchment areas has
been approved by the Government.
The other 2 lines are still under study.
CURRENT GKL/KV’S CRITICAL CORRIDOR GAP

2 of the highest growth areas
of GKL/KV currently not
serviced by rail network
 Residents can only rely on
cars/ buses

KVMRT’S OBJECTIVES

To construct a new diagonal line to meet the increasing demand for rail based
urban public transportation.

To increase the interconnectivity of destinations and provide better integration
between new SBK Line and existing KTM, LRT and MONOREL lines.

To increase the railway network coverage and its capacity to provide more train
services, hence carry more passengers.

To alleviate road traffic congestion problems through a comprehensive, inter
connectible, reliable and safe MRT services.

To get the urban public to switch their mode of transportation from private
vehicles to public transportation.

To contribute to a cleaner environment and uplift the living standards for Klang
Valley inhabitants.
ALLEVIATE ROAD TRAFFIC CONGESTION
177 cars
3 buses
1-train car
INTEGRATION WITH EXISTING RAIL LINES
The SBK Line will integrate with existing rail lines at 7 locations:
Sungai Buloh station with KTM
KL Sentral with KJ LRT Line, KTM and ERL
Pasar Seni with KJ LRT Line and KTM
Merdeka with AG LRT Line
Bukit Bintang Central with MONOREL
Maluri with AG LRT Line
Kajang with KTM
FEEDER BUS SERVICE AND ROUTES

For stations outside of the city centre (suburban areas), feeder bus services will be
the primary mode of access to the rail network. Feeder bus services will serve
outer catchment area of 3km radius from key stations.

Feeder bus services will offer a level of service consistent with the rail itself in
terms of frequency, reliability and capacity provisions.

Stations within city centre will be served by existing bus service.
PARK AND RIDE FACILITIES (PnR)

PnRs are intended to:
• Capture potential passengers who are unable to walk or use public
transportation to gain access to MRT stations;
• Capture the journey to MRT stations rather than the person driving for entire
journey to their destination.

16 potential PnR sites have been identified with about 7,800 parking spaces
e.g. 1,200 parking spaces for Sg. Buloh station, 500 parking spaces for Pusat
Bandar Damansara.

Sufficient land area for a parking lot or multi-storey car park facility.
AUTOMATIC FARE COLLECTION SYSTEM (AFC)
 AFC:
• Access Control
• Fare Collection
• Ridership Analysis.

Designed to Accept:
• Touch n Go cards
• Rapid KL Cards and Tokens
• KTM Cards and Tokens.

Seamless paid connections with RapidKL and potentially, KTM and ERL and
integrated with the Parking System.
UNIVERSAL ACCESS FACILITIES

MRT designers consulted and obtained inputs from representatives of Majlis
Kebangsaan Bagi Orang Kurang Upaya during design stages for MRT stations.

MRT stations will be universally accessible not only for people with disabilities
(OKU) but also to the elderly, pregnant women, parents with children in strollers,
as well as those with luggage.

The MRT stations and trains are holistically designed to support easy access,
ensuring that OKUs can regularly and conveniently access public transportation.
