Better public transport on the way....

When Klang Valley's residents are all frustrated with the traffic condition in the city, especially KL, what else can be better than efficient public transport for our convenient? Previous post, I had mentioned about the LRT extension project for Kelana Jaya line and latest news shows that it will be built according to the plan. Besides LRT, there are also some new train sets, buses and nwe system for the public transport:

1) 850 new buses by 2012
2) 4 bus expressway transits next year
3) 26 new four-car LRT train sets for Kelana Jaya line next year and 35 in following year
4) 14 new train sets for LRT Ampang line in 2012
5) 15 refurbished KTM Komuter EMUs in 2011
6) KTM Komuter to reduced intervals to 7.5 minutes in 2012
7) LRT extension to Putra Heights to be completed in 2012
8) KL Monorail doubles capacity in 2012

These plans are looking good to improve the public transport network in Klang Valley, make sure all of them will be materialised as according to the plan. Hopefully all of us will benefit from them.
