LETTER With all due respect to YB Datuk Seri Idris Jala, he is wrong is saying that MRT is a only thing that will forestall Klang Valley from choking up by 2020. Traffic congestion stems from a tall use of in isolation cars, generally single occupancy vehicles.
While a proposed Sungai Buloh-Kajang (SBK) MRT is firm to take a little in isolation cars off a roads of Klang Valley, this is not a approach answer or pill to a fact that more as well as more in isolation cars have been coming in to our highway complement each day.
What is very impo! rtant is carrying a arguable open transport network, that enables all citizens from in a Klang Valley to be means to move around from one end to an additional solely on open transport, in any case of train or MRT.
Today, this is lacking, as well as you need to see a supervision as well as Pemandu residence this lack of a complete network.
Don't neglect buses
The SBK line will not even cover 20% of a Klang Valley population, so, during this rate, many who might be staying along this transport mezzanine might still have to resort to regulating in isolation vehicles to get to their destinations.
Since a supervision is not in a financial in front of to hurl out MRT lines all over a Klang Valley (similar to New York's subway), a supervision needs to concede a importance of buses in office building as well as achieving a network.
Both highly unenlightened Singapore & Hong Kong currently record aloft train ridership than MRT ridership, display a importance of train networks.
