An efficient MRT system is vital to make KL a great city


Malaysia has the highest vehicle ownership after the United States. For just 28 million people, the country has 11 million cars and nine million motorcycles.

THAT the Kuala Lumpur/Klang Valley area needs great improvement in public transport is undeniable for upwards of five to six million people who live and work in this area, with many of them having to commute long distances to get to work.

A key part of making a large city like Kuala Lumpur and its environs liveable for work, play, leisure and learning is an efficient urban public transport system. Look at every great city in the world – London, New York, Paris, Berlin, Moscow, Sydney, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Singapore – and its hallmark is a well-functioning public transport system which can transport commuters quickly and cheaply through the city.
