Ada kereta pergi naik keretakan. Tak perlu pengangkutan awam.
Tak ada kereta, malas drive naik pengangkutan awam lah. RM120 ok lah
Tak kisah lambat naik bas. Nak cepat dan selesa naik ECRL.

The electric train will be the longest in Malaysia, 8 -car

Malaysian drive 120-150km/hour reach in 4 hours.

Go Kelantan, can do what there?

Serious question, not trolling

cross border

RM120 in 2024 is like RM80 now...so quite reasonable plus got toilet and faster less than 4 hours...

Bus also I think will be RM60 in the future
Airline ticket now RM199 if book 7 day before departure
1 month can get RM159

Kena quote ni for reference purpose.

The shorter the distance, the cost of ticket per kilometer is likely to be higher. As can be seen in the northern EDTP, it can go up to more than 0.40 MYR per kilometer.

This has obvious negative implications. Private vehicles are not going away. Public transport needs to discourage the use of private vehicles. However, with the direct cost of private vehicle at 0.15 to 0.20 MYR per kilometer, public transport cannot produce a desirable impact. At 0.40 MYR per kilometer, it is worse.

If private transport cannot be made much more expensive, there is a need to channel funds to greatly reduce the price of public transport. I would say 0.10 MYR per kilometer is attractive.

It is not right to cite the lack of trains as the excuse for not providing cheaper public transport options. There is no immediate plan to get those trains. So, the only option is to reduce the ticket prices of the current trains.

Imagine Uber and Grab Car that cost more than taxis, because they are available through the Internet, and are "safer". How can that sort of pricing strategy change anything?

The benefits of Uber and Grab Car are apparent, possibly only through the dying taxi industry. I would say the same applies to trains. If the highway operators and stalls at highway rest areas are not seeing a significant reduction in revenue, the benefits of the trains are not clear enough.

Believe me tolls and fuel price can be expensive in 2024 and I don't think gov want to subsidize it anymore. Considering they have invested a lot in PT development better subsidize PT than ever increasing fuel subsidy

4 hours!!! its worth it

sorry.
i balik with car kl- besut.
more advanture

as expected

since kl - padang besar already near rm80

considered ok la

nak pandu pun 9 jam,
pay 120 arrive in comfort.

Hope

ECRL platinum RM120
ECRL gold RM80

Maybe gold can reach 4.5 hours late coz have to stop all the stations

better when GE.
drive 8 hour and then undi pas.
waste time only.

Det price.

But the question is how much is the ridership from KL to Terengganu?

Can RM120 recover the investment spend? Is it politically motivated just for the erection? jeng jeng jeng...

DarkNitenoienahchunkevraulketchum come gip your pendapat bernas...

4 hours from Gombak to KB? For real?

Do these trains have stops or lavatory in it? I don't think anyone can hold no 1 and 2 during these 4 hours travel time or find some time to eat.

High speed and.cheap. bangso syurgo bercukur la..

The thing is, the current railway network in terms of coverage is essentially unchanged since the British days.

Travelling between east and west coast by rail need to go all the way to Gemas. At least with the ECRL, the route would be more direct, and in terms of travel time, train with new alignment will definitely be much faster than car.



With ECRL, towns like Bentong can be closer economically to the Klang Valley and obviously it's a good thing.
