PETALING JAYA: The MRT3 project should not be scaled down as its current circle design will improve the mobility and accessibility of the national public transportation system, say experts, whose views were echoed by users themselves.

The circle design of the proposed MRT3 line will be the final key connector between existing public transport lines in the Klang Valley, including Kuala Lumpur, said Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) Faculty of Engineering lecturer and public transport expert Assoc Prof Dr Law Teik Hua.
