what makes u change urmind?

Bro, the news from Prasarana already out, they stated 3rd quarter of next year but dunno will further delay or not...lol.


From The Star:

KUALA LUMPUR: Twelve new four-car train sets will be introduced as part of the RapidKL monorail expansion project due to be completed in the third quarter of next year, thus doubling the current capacity of the monorail line, Syarikat Prasarana Negara Berhad announced Tuesday.

Its infrastructure development division group director Amiruddin Ma'aris said that at present, 12 two-car train sets operated on the monorail line with a daily ridership of more than 70,000 passengers, almost reaching peak capacity.

The four-car train sets are expected to be delivered progressively from early next year, he said in a statement.

Amiruddin, who is also the chief executive officer of Prasarana Integrated Management and Engineering Services, said the expansion project also involved the upgrading of stations and replacement of the signalling system.

All the 11 monorail stations would be upgraded, some with extended platforms and new roofing, he said, adding that the station upgrading exercise was 85% complete.

The fleet expansion project also included the installation of the platform automatic gate system to enhance the safety of passengers at the platform and the construction of a new depot to cater to the larger train sets, he said.

Amiruddin said Prasarana would not compromise on passengers' convenience and safety in managing the monorail fleet expansion project. - Bernama

Never mention the extension to 9 seputeh .

The upgraded works should be suffice for 5 to 6 car-trains.

I believe they are still pending for an approval for the extensions to OKR.

I seen some peoples compliant about monorail bla bla bla. But, do you guys know which type of public transport fetching the most high income expatriate?

Geez, thanks for the update! Yeah, glad to read on that. We'll see how it goes. Judging from how GLC's get things done, I think a more realistic timeline would be early 2015 then.

That will not be so soon and if it's announced, I'm sure it will come from the PM himself.

Nah, that's impossible, in Malaysia's context. Do you know how long is 5-6 carriages? Even the existing 4 carriages for LRT is extremely long already. The infrastructure here and the level of need just hasn't reached that level yet.

No worries Bro, just hope they can get things moving, after the expansion completed then they can move on to extension. With monorail extending it's service further out, it will do a lot of good for everyone.

Sama sama 'hope'. But do u think those in power they can't ( base on nation economy circumstance ) or they don't want to materialize our 'hope' .

Economy circumstances or not, these infrastructure should always be the priority and should be running long time ago. They are working on it now and I have no answer to their main objective, since it is implemented, just be patience.

Reminder private launch on 20/10/13

that's good to hear. any news abt the proposed monorail extension?

No news. Not confirmed as still very much at preliminary.

Personally for me, it is better for OKR and Kuchai to be served by the CIRCLE LINE MRT since it is coming south from Sg Besi and passing by Pantai Dalam area. Forget about Monorail. But this is my opinion.

What you guys think?

Circle line max coverage maybe just to the starting part of OKR . Monorail may better cover all along the OKR till joint the subang LRT station . The end of OKR are most the mid / low income group who really need the efficient public transport .
