i hope so, ts question was lrt track near home.

he doesnt say lrt track near home but cannot near to station.
his main point is the value, not the track or station, someone just dont understand it. (station also got track !)


taman bunga raya near tarc have houses that are near to track also, those old houses worth 60k can sell for 300k minimum. rental fetching rm1.2-rm1.5k per month.


driving distance to station approximately 10-15 mins.

anybody know seksyen 2 wangsa maju. the tracks and stations are like 15meter or less to the houses.

those are desa setapak, seksyen 2 are from brj there.

Tunneling is ideal, but like you say, cost in prohibitive.

What's more...tunneling in suburban area is unheard practice, whereby in my opinion, the density of suburban area is not conducive to repay the cost of tunneling.

Even in proposed Kota Damansara-Cheras line, tunneling is only for areas inside KL, because acquiring land in prime areas will be too prohibitive in cost.

i do think it is time to reevaluate subang,pj and kelana jaya area from suburban to urban area base on the density of the people alone. subang has grown tenth folds since the 1990s. even my hometown in sungai buloh is suffering from traffic jams in the morning and evenings due the amount of people living in sg buloh and the surrounding area but is working in kl and pj.

I agree, Subang Jaya is actually as big as KL.

Tunneling has another issue apart from cost of tunneling.

One issue is the provision of ventilation system.

I think the Ampang line, the distance between house and track near the Ampang station is like less than 50 metres already.

Besides the noise, what about other things like dust or the vibration?

confirm increase value...unless the train in within 1-2meters

My distance to the LRT and monorail is less than 50 meter... but value raise!

Go Curve Daiso buy RM5 ear mufflers.

they wont spend such amount of money to do this

But the problem...when this project gonna start?? Until now like no news already..

Kampung2005 i think the tunneling technology that we currently have is adequate and our soil structure is very good actually for tunneling.

but then again the ugly head of cost comes up.

i've seen in anime (sentau yukikaze) the lrt are highup above the residential area.and the tracks are supported by pillars that have elevators in them. so the whole train system is basicly out of sight and mind and the only thing the people can see are the pillars.

but this is i think more expensive then tunneling.hahahhaa.

but in thinking of solution for mas transport we have to think out of the box.

The LRT extension has pass through pre-qualification stage.

If within walking distance, confirm increase value. If too close until the noise can go in, maybe will decrease abit but still it is near to railway station, so the value will be still higher than those house that are not close to.

the newspaper stated that the track pass thru the tennis court.
Memang tak ngam loh... Hodoh plus too close man.

when the 24 hours LRT services implement sure everyone become zombie

24 hours LRT? Impossible

KL soil structure is bad for tunneling. Not suitable...

government don't build underground LRT, i will build underground home..
