Bus routes for BMC folk enroute to MRT BTHO is as follow, only one route for MRT BTHO no feeder bus for Cheras Perdana and BTHO...may be too close to station gua.

I think not only Sg Long but the township along MRT line will see certain percentage of price appreciation.

Some FAQ on MRT fares

Q:Looking at the table, how is possible that the further one travels, the fare charges are lesser compared with nearer stations?

A:In addition to the nominal flag fall and the nominal fee for the Transit Acquirer System (TAS), fare is calculated based on the distance travelled and cascading rates based on blocks of four or five kilometres travelled. The unit rate/km for shorter distance is relatively higher rates compared with the unit rate/km for further distance travelled.
For example, the cash fare between Sungai Buloh and Bandar Utama which is 13.33 kilometres away is calculated based on the following:
Flag fall (RM0.70) + TAS (RM0.20) + (Distance of 13.33 km x base unit rate of RM0.22/km) = RM3.80. The calculation of the cash fare between Sungai Buloh and TTDI, which is further away than Bandar Utama, but has crossed over to a lower block of unit rate/km, would result in a relative lower fare as below:
Flag fall (RM0.70) + TAS (RM0.20) + (15.17km x base unit rate of RM0.18/km) = RM3.70.


This explain why we only need to pay RM3.20 from Bukit Duking to Pusat Bandar Damansara while Batu 11 Cheras & BTHO need to pay RM3.80 & RM3.70 even though they are closer.



Q:Is there a minimum fare charged when entering and exiting at the same station?
A:Yes, the minimum fare of RM0.80 is charged when you enter and exit the same station.

Q:Do we need to maintain the minimum store value balance when using the cashless payment on MRT?
A:Customers must maintain a minimum stored value balance of RM3.00 when using the cashless payment on MRT.

Not sure how true of the rapid apps info, from Bukit Dukung to Pusat Bandar Damansara is RM3.2 (cashless) and RM3.7 (cash), travel time 1 hr for mrt station to station.

SYF talking shit...how does MRT help in growing semenyih..very far away actually

Very true, no MRT feeder bus too.

Anyway SP Setia & MKH is the main contributor for the boom in Semenyih I suppose.

But what SYF talk about Sg Long is correct imho.

RapidKL seem listen to my earlier request to extend bus route to cover Garden Park-Tmn Ikhlas-Palm Walk
Hope those car park outside Garden Park at Persiaran SL 7 won't block the MRT feeder bus .

Mind to share the link for the travel time?

https://www.myrapid.com.my/

for fare u can download RapidKL Fare at Play store

My goodness, it take an hour to travel 25km! some more exclude travel time for feeder bus

Anyway let try it out 5 days from now..

I think entering batu 11 more jam than going to Bkt Dukung

exactly! they should build a line from cheras to PJ directly without going to KL downtown

Yup I will say MRT make a good choice, anyway go back from MRT Bkt Dukung need to u-turn at Kajang Interchange, hope jam won't be too bad..

Another 10 ~ 20 min if transit at pasar seni or kl sentral to take lrt toward pj direction ....

KUALA LUMPUR, July 12 — Just one week more and phase two of the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Sungai Buloh-Kajang (SBK) line will be entirely completed to begin operating and serve its role particularly in facilitating travel for the population in previously underserved areas.

MRT Strategic Communication and Stakeholder Relations director Datuk Najmuddin Abdullah said the SBK Line, which is the first of three planned Klang Valley MRT lines, consists of 19 new stations, of which seven are located underground.

“Fourteen of the new stations are strategically located in densely populated areas which have never been served by any urban rail services,” he told Bernama.

The 14 stations are Muzium Negara, Tun Razak Exchange Centre, Cochrane, Taman Pertama, Taman Midah, Taman Connaught, Suntex, Sri Raya, Bandar Tun Hussein Onn, Batu Sebelas Cheras, Bukit Dukung, Sungai Jernih, Merdeka and Taman Mutiara.

...

The MRT SBK Line covers northwest of Kuala Lumpur and runs through the capital city before ending in Kajang, a fast developing town to the southeast of the city.

It will serve as a corridor with a population of 1.2 million people linking their homes with their destinations in the city.

The RM23 billion project was approved by the government in December 2010 and construction of the line was officially launched on July 8, 2011 by Najib.

The project was also made an Entry Point Project of the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) under the Greater Kuala Lumpur/Klang Valley National Key Economic Area (NKEA).

Each train set serving the SBK line will have four cars, allowing a total capacity of 1,200 passengers per trip with daily ridership estimated to be about 430,000 passengers. The trains will run at a frequency of 3.5 minutes. — Bernama
