MAKING KL THE WORLD S MOST LIVABLE CITY Dato Azhar Abdul Hamid Chief Executive Officer 18 June 2013
GREATER KUALA LUMUR/ KLANG VALLEY (1/2) The definition of the GKL/KV region is taken from the Economic Transformation rogramme (ET). The region comprises Kuala Lumpur, utrajaya (administrative capital of Malaysia) and all districts in the state of Selangor (with the exception of Kuala Langat, Kuala Selangor, Sabak Bernam and Ulu Selangor). In 2010, the population of Greater KL/KV was approximately 6 million and it contributes about RM263 billion to the nation s GNI.
GREATER KUALA LUMUR/ KLANG VALLEY (2/2) Greater KL/KV is composed of 10 local authorities 2010 population (5.7 million) 000 pax Kuala Lumpur M Klang M Kajang M Subang Jaya M etaling Jaya M Selayang M Shah Alam M Ampang Jaya utrajaya M Sepang
GROWTH IN GKL/KV The population forecasts for 2020 assume a capacity of 10 million people in the region with the largest growth forecast in Klang, Sepang and utrajaya. This is a 59% increase in population compared to 2010. The Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) City lan forecasts the growth in jobs from 729,000 in 2005 to 1.2 million in 2010 and 1.4 million in 2020. New major commercial developments such as the Tun Razak Exchange (TRX), Warisan Merdeka development, MATRADE, Cochrane redevelopment and Rubber Research Institute land in Sungai Buloh.
LAND UBLIC TRANSORT (LT) IN GKL/KV TODAY Increasing trend of usage of private vehicles by residents in the Greater Kuala Lumpur/Klang Valley (GKL/KV) area. The morning peak modal share for public transportation has fallen from 34% in the 1980 s to 10% to 12% in 2008, which is very low compared to Hong Kong (90%), Singapore (63%), and London (55%). Reasons for the increasing trend in usage of private vehicles are: Increase of the highway network supply Cheap subsidised fuel Rise in household incomes Thriving automotive industry unlike Hong Kong/Singapore Affordability of cars/easy access to low interest loans oor quality of public transport (specifically the unreliability of buses/ poor connectivity of rail network)
UBLIC FEEDBACK ON LT SERVICES: KEY ISSUES - EMANDU Q3 2010 NKRA BASELINE SURVEY Rail assengers Bus assengers Taxi assengers Service availability Service capacity oor integration with bus feeder services Quality of existing track and signaling Ticketing integration unctuality Waiting and travel time Accessibility Bus condition Interchange Bus driver attitude Information Bus service Service availability Users safety Driver s attitude Call service Taxi condition Willingness to go to destination Not charging according to meter
GKL/ KV WILL CONTINUE TO GROW RESSURE ON EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE 7
CAN OUR CURRENT TRANSORT INFRASTRUCTURE COE? GKL/KV will be congested by 2020, private vehicle registrations in the country is ever increasing. So building more roads is not the solution
GOALS FOR LAND UBLIC TRANSORT (LT) The Government Transformation rogramme (GT) (Source: emandu, 2010), the NKRA (National Key Result Area) for Urban LT defined a number of goals for LT: Raise modal share - Mode Share = percentage of journeys made by public transport (including bus and rail) Improve reliability and journey times Enhance comfort and convenience Improve accessibility and connectivity - Accessibility = percentage of population within 400 metres of a public transport service (including bus and rail)
CHANGING ROLES OF THE MODES IN THE FUTURE The GKL/KV LT Master lan defines the changing roles of the modes into the future: Rail will be the future spine of the network in terms of capacity and accessibility. Bus will support the rail system by providing feeder services to rail services and by providing services in the secondary corridors not served by rail and providing local services to district centres. Taxi will fill in the gaps in space and time and provide a quality option for door to door travel where cost is not a deciding factor.
KLANG VALLEY MRT ROJECT (KVMRT ROJECT) The Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit project is one of the Entry oint rojects (E) under the Greater Kuala Lumpur National Key Economic Area (NKEA). The KVMRT roject was approved by the Government of Malaysia in December 2010 and officially launched on 8 July 2011 by the rime Minister of Malaysia, YAB Dato Sri Mohd Najib Bin Tun Abdul Razak. KVMRT is a proposed 3 line Mass Rapid Transit system in Klang Valley/ Kuala Lumpur.
NEW MRT LINES FOR GKL/KV AREAS AS ROOSED IN THE ET 3 MRT lines for GKL/KV under the ET have been proposed including the extension of LRT and Monorail lines. The first MRT (Sungai Buloh-Kajang) line serving the most critical catchment areas has been approved by the Government. The other 2 lines are still under study.
CURRENT GKL/KV S CRITICAL CORRIDOR GA 2 of the highest growth areas of GKL/KV currently not serviced by rail network Residents can only rely on cars/ buses

SBK LINE - HASED OENING hase 1 31/12/16 hase 2 31/7/17
KVMRT S OBJECTIVES To construct a new diagonal line to meet the increasing demand for rail based urban public transportation. To increase the interconnectivity of destinations and provide better integration between new SBK Line and existing KTM, LRT and MONOREL lines. To increase the railway network coverage and its capacity to provide more train services, hence carry more passengers. To alleviate road traffic congestion problems through a comprehensive, inter connectible, reliable and safe MRT services. To get the urban public to switch their mode of transportation from private vehicles to public transportation. To contribute to a cleaner environment and uplift the living standards for Klang Valley inhabitants.
ALLEVIATE ROAD TRAFFIC CONGESTION 177 cars 3 buses 1-train car
INTEGRATION WITH EXISTING RAIL LINES The SBK Line will integrate with existing rail lines at 7 locations: Sungai Buloh station with KTM KL Sentral with KJ LRT Line, KTM and ERL asar Seni with KJ LRT Line and KTM Merdeka with AG LRT Line Bukit Bintang Central with MONOREL Maluri with AG LRT Line Kajang with KTM
FEEDER BUS SERVICE AND ROUTES For stations outside of the city centre (suburban areas), feeder bus services will be the primary mode of access to the rail network. Feeder bus services will serve outer catchment area of 3km radius from key stations. Feeder bus services will offer a level of service consistent with the rail itself in terms of frequency, reliability and capacity provisions. Stations within city centre will be served by existing bus service.
ARK AND RIDE FACILITIES (nr) nrs are intended to: Capture potential passengers who are unable to walk or use public transportation to gain access to MRT stations; Capture the journey to MRT stations rather than the person driving for entire journey to their destination. 16 potential nr sites have been identified with about 7,800 parking spaces e.g. 1,200 parking spaces for Sg. Buloh station, 500 parking spaces for usat Bandar Damansara. Sufficient land area for a parking lot or multi-storey car park facility.
AUTOMATIC FARE COLLECTION SYSTEM (AFC) AFC: Access Control Fare Collection Ridership Analysis. Designed to Accept: Touch n Go cards Rapid KL Cards and Tokens KTM Cards and Tokens. Seamless paid connections with RapidKL and potentially, KTM and ERL and integrated with the arking System.
UNIVERSAL ACCESS FACILITIES MRT designers consulted and obtained inputs from representatives of Majlis Kebangsaan Bagi Orang Kurang Upaya during design stages for MRT stations. MRT stations will be universally accessible not only for people with disabilities (OKU) but also to the elderly, pregnant women, parents with children in strollers, as well as those with luggage. The MRT stations and trains are holistically designed to support easy access, ensuring that OKUs can regularly and conveniently access public transportation.
