Most of my recent post on social and politics have been sort of critical to the federal government, but not today... Today I'm going to post on something that I strongly supported, which is improving public transportation...
During this past few days, there have been 3 good news regarding public transportation...
The first one, is that the work for the MRT project (for Greater KL) will start on July next year... It would take probably up to TEN years for the MRT to materialize, so I hope that the project can kick-off soon so that the public can reap the rewards sooner...
The second news is that finally, the LRT extension projects, (more specifically, the Kelana Jaya Line extension and the Ampang Line extension) are proceeding to the next step after many months of no news on the subject... The contractors have been chosen for the project today (or maybe it was yesterday, because I read it in today's newspaper)...
The third news is that Malaysia is considering to build "bullet train" for KL-Singapore route... The project, called High-speed rail (HSR) is still in planning stage... According to news, the HSR service, travelling at an average speed of 350-450km an hour, will transform travel on the KL-Singapore route by cutting travel time to 1.5 to two hours.... The government is doing a feasibility study on this project and the study is due to be completed by mid-2011...
I hope that these projects will proceed smoothly without any delay and not be bogged down by any problems caused by the contractors etc..
Ps: An efficient public transportation system would reduce carbon emission and thus is more environmentally-friendly...

Bercakap tentang pengangkutan awam dari dulu aku mengharapkan Puduraya bertukar wajah sekurang-kurangnya seperti KL Sentral.
dr dulu aku mgharapkan stiap bandar kt setiap negeri ade lrt/monorel so kurang kenderaan, kurang jam. lg bagus dr bina menara tinggi n bg laptop kt budak2 sekola
@che am: aritu ak naik LRT Sri Petaling Line, lalu r kawasan Puduraya tu, cam masih dalam renovation je, x siap2, dulu kata siap renovate bulan 7, sekarang nak abes november dah...
pastu ak baca, dia tulis terminal sementara bukit jalil akan beroperasi menggantikan puduraya sehingga puduraya siap renovate ATAU sehingga terminal bandar tasik selatan siap dibina...
maksudnya ada kemungkinan puduraya x diguna lagi...
KALAU puduraya diguna nanti, boleh lah tengok setanding KL sentral ke tak? huhu
@amal amri: ak pun pernah mengaharap ada LRT/monorel kat semua negeri, tapi sekarang dah turunkan expectation... Kalau semua negeri ada bas Rapid, eg Rapid Melaka, Rapid Kuantan, Rapid JB etc, tu pun dah memadai sekarang... huhu
ps: kat Melaka nih, ada monorel pun buat untuk pelancong je, bukan untuk orang melaka guna... hampeh... huhu
KL-Singapore train is superb. Am expecting lot more business linkages between the two cities.
@amir: when connectivity is increased, it will definitely be good for the business too... hehe
