Like that KLIA Transit and KLIA Express will serve no purpose dy if MRT connects all the way to KLIA 1 & 2, especially if the MRT costs less than the former 2. laugh.gif

Based on half cost cutting, expect some stations shelved and most will be elevated instead of underground where the underground cost can double easily.

Also, don't be surprised if the gov't decides to change the train cars from 4-coach to 3 or even 2-coach (worst case scenario). laugh.gif

On a serious note, this gov't is known for sensationalising the cancellation of the ECRL, HSR and MRT3 project due to costs and what not, only to backtrack on them and later admit on how useful they are to the rakyat. dry.gif

LRT3 also make a lot of noise about the cost, then decide to change the train sets from 6-coach all the way to 3-coach and shelve a few stations. Looks like LGE (and those cabinet members) never ride on one before to embark on this 'cost-reduction' drive. I'm sure many in this forum who use public transportation knows what its like to ride in 2-coach train sets on the KJ line coz its really jam packed it is during peak hours if you're unfortunate to get into one.

In Japan many private companies operate subway trains. Maybe that can be the solution for MRT3.

This was how our public transportation lines were initially operating until Prasarana was formed to consolidate them under one roof.

Before Prasarana, those lines require their own card or you have to pay twice to use those lines separately if for example, you want to go from Point A to Point B which requires you to interchange between the KJL and AGL lines.

I remember one columnist from the Malay Mail who mentioned that in other countries, public transportation will incur losses and nearly impossible to break even or even make a profit (after deducting the operational and maintenance costs). The most any gov't can do is to charge commuters for their usage to reduce on the expenses.

According to the MalayMail dated on 31st July 2018, Anthony Loke clarified that the MRT3 is postponed, not cancelled (link).

That's why MMC-Gamuda is submitting a fresh proposal for it with reduced costs. Not much info at this stage as it is P&C between them and the gov't. Hopefully there will be no station gutting and downsizing the train car sets. Really disappointed with the way how this gov't handled the 'cost-reduction' for MRT2 and the LRT3, though.

MRT2: Gutting Bdr Malaysia North and South only to reinstate them later? Then what's the point of removing them in the first place?
LRT3: Gutting 2 stations and downsizing the train car sets from 6 to 3 coaches. I mean please, have any of these ministers ever ride in a 2-coach train before? It's really squashy during peak hours. I'll be okay if the train car sets are reduced to 5, but 3? Jeez...

That AGL/SPL line train had 5-coach train sets, but I have not heard any complaints from either PH or BN about the 'high' costs, and no one kicked up a fuss about the train's length. In fact, I'd be happy if the current KJL line can get some 5-coach train car sets in due to the high congestion during peak hours.

Like what the others had mentioned, I wouldn't be surprised if the MRT3 Circle Line will be more focused in the KL city area.

If other neighbourhoods need to be connected, then new lines needed to be created. Petition the local gov't, city authorities and/or city councillors for this to happen.

MRT1 and MRT2 has skipped Ampang... Hope MRT3 has stations in Ampang...

Wonder why the Ampang folks didn't petition their local councillor(s) or city authority to be covered by public transit.

Or maybe they did, but those requests got swept under the rug by the latter two? hmm.gif

Agree on the 2nd part.

To add, not all companies allow working from home like what I've mentioned repeatedly in other threads many times. Also, if you're one who prefers to commute via your own vehicle, don't expect many companies to provide free parking for their employees. If you happen to work in such companies that fulfil these 2 criteria (or either one), just be thankful to be working there.

Even when I move to a new project which is close to a public transit station in a year or two, I'll be glad to be close to one as I don't have to worry about parking and getting stuck in jams during peak hours.

I can assume that a number of those posting here aren't the average working people who take public transit. Most likely investors who target this group of people to rent their properties.

As long as that brainless ex-FM isn't around to cut corners and access points to stations.

So far he didn't make noise on either the MRT2 or this upcoming line. Probably more noise will come from him and the PH camp once the costs and the full scope are announced for the latter.

Like you, I didn't support his scrapping of stations and access points in the MRT2 scope either.

This guy is a known blabbermouth. Why bring up an issue when no land acquisition notice was even served to those residents?

In fact, when the MRT and MRT 2 lines were announced and the construction was underway, I have not read news of any complaints regarding somebody's house/shophouse being acquired to build them. I only recall the TTDI residents protesting a covered walkway connecting the Bandar Utama MRT station to that part of the neighbourhood a long time ago and MRT Corp acquiesced to their demands, introducing more feeder buses as an alternative (Do a search on Google of this news as this is covered extensively).
