At least mrt2 pass by areas that will have high ridership like kepong, not areas like ttdi where most people would rather drive to work.
There are companies and commercial buildings near the TTDI station itself such as Deloitte and Menara LGB. And not all the companies there will subsidise or allocate parking for the employees. I was ever interviewed by one company based there last year and they don't even provide parking, so you'll definitely have to rely on the MRT to commute if you're working there.
As for the TTDI folks, well, it still boils down to perception on public transportation. We still have a long way to go to get everyone, especially the rich, to accept it as an alternative form of transportation to personal vehicles when compared to other developed nations where the folks, regardless of social status, accepts and use them daily.
To be fair to the MRT SBK line, it did connect many areas of Cheras all the way to Kajang to the south and Kampung Selamat and Sg. Buloh to the north. Just wonder if there's any progress on the developments around both Kwasa Sentral and Damansara station as these two look like they're built in the middle of nowhere.

I am working in the metro industry. It's a chicken and egg thing. You need a high population density to sustain more metro lines; you need more lines before density can grow and many would take metro instead of driving their own cars. For current KL situation, you need more feeder buses and link bridges.
Yeah, kinda agree here. I remember reading that even major cities around the world such as New York still need to construct new lines, even to the point of going under buildings and houses.
