Who are we without dreams? We can chose to be kancil forever, if that's what we wish for. We should aim for the star, even if we don't reach there, we might land on the moon.
Of course, why built a mrt system of Shanghai when our population is only 1/5 of theirs??? Since our population is about 5 times less of shanghai, then we should divide the scale of the infrastructure by 5.
metro lines = 14/5 = 2.8
stations = 329/5 = 65.8
operating route length = 538 km/5 = 107.8km
Then it looks achievable. Isn't it?
To be honest, size doesn't matter. It is how effective things are managed.
Just to clarify.
I do not oppose MRT nor discouraging the usage of MRT.
I am looking from an angle if Cheras traffic jam would be eased after MRT in operation and not about if people are choosy over MRT.
Based-on all the infrastructures(East-West link, MRR2 etc) implemented for the past 35 years in Cheras, my observation told me that the infrastructures only help in the first few years. Few years down the road, the traffic congestion/jam returned uninvited.
My prediction for Cheras traffic condition after a few years of MRT in operation, will be bad. Jam here and there.
(I am happier if my prediction is wrong)
