Hahaha, boss, seputeh station to mid valley station is just walking distance, perhaps around 500 meter only I suppose, also increase 10% ler...
How many people just takes commuter from Seputeh to Midvalley, compare to KL sentral to Mid Valley? From my understanding, the latter definitely higher..
By the way, KTM already revealed the formula for the fare calculation. Your perception shorter distance, less increment seems obsolete. The longer distance travel seems still have lower fare compare to short distance. As a matter of fact, the fare is the most expensive for shorter distance (1 - 5 km).
http://www.ktmb.com.my/images/01112015NOTI...NNOUNCEMENT.pdf As a matter of fact, from this calculation, I can see that the short distance even suffered more higher increment, due to two reasons:
1.) Highest rate for 1-5km travel (RM 0.306 per km), compare to RM 0.162 per km for 6-10km. This rate even further reduced to RM 0.126 for distance category between 11 - 50km.
2.) Minimum additional charges (fall flag and ICPS) = 90 cents for every category of distance traveled. For example, Seputeh station to Midvalley station, the fare just merely RM 0.20 (RM 0.306 per km / 2 ~ RM 0.20 (rounded to nearest 10 cent)). However, due to the constant additional charges (fall flag and ICPS), the rate increase to RM 1.10 (RM 0.90 + RM 0.20).
Therefore, as a conclusion, the KTM hike actually affect every users, but the short distance traveler within KL city center will be impacted the most..
By the way, the distance from KL sentral to Midvalley station just merely 2.25km, not very far lah. The rate actually same with Seputeh to Midvalley station too...
