More station link with shopping mall and tourists attract at Jalan Sultan Ismail , Kuala Lumpur ... 26 Oct 2017 M. Azhar Arif/The Star

IN his keynote address at the Land Public Transport Symposium organised by the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) on Oct 23, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said: “The outcome and reception of the MRT has been tremendous. In fact, a friend said to me now it’s considered cool to wear a suit and to travel around the city in the MRT... this is something that I can be proud to say.”

Using stage buses and metered taxis was never cool in the days when it was a hassle to use them. But with the worsening traffic congestion, popularity of public transport like the LRT/MRT has increased in Klang Valley.
