#FMTNews #MohdAzharuddinMatSah #RapidKL #Prasarana
We have pretty good trains (LRT & MRT). The buses are completely unreliable, with drivers taking too many unscheduled breaks. The last mile connection is the main issue that needs to be urgently addressed, if the government wants to get cars of the road & ease the congestion during peak hours.
The buses unlike Singapore, where buses in Malaysia are the operators do not require to meet certain requirements in order for the operator to run their service at that route.
train we need more line and establish train in populated urban area such as greater ipoh, greater kucing, iskandar puteri and greater penang, remaining train line in Klang vallley should expand more
That's surprising coz I regularly takes the rapid KL bus and found them to be perfectly reliable. I usually only need to wait 5 to 10 minutes for a bus, though there are times where a bus might ocassionaly take up to 30 minutes to arrive.
To support public transport, an important basic component of public transport is pedestrian facilities and its comprehensive, comfortable and safe network. Governments also need to plan and implement "Low carbon urban development" which is usually associated with denser urban development to reduce travel distances and encourage walking, cycling and the expansion of public transport systems. The urban planning model in Japan and Europe should also be studied for its suitability compared to the American style that depends on personal vehicles.
Hope RapidKL can Make it easier to transfer between Ampang Park MRT and LRT. Dont make us walk up to go down again at the same place. Not efficient.
Truly appreciated for having the women coach in LRT ❤ before that been witnessed even myself got sexual harassment before in the train, the worst I have ever know there was a girl got assaulted by a men left semen on her skirt ! Damnnn. Kesian the girl, lucky the officer there get her clothes changed as she was rushing to work. At first I thought it mights not that effective until I saw certain stations officer will help to chase away those guys who wrongly entered women coach, very good initiative 👍 thank you so much Prasarana for bringing up the awareness.
I live in Klang, in my 18yrs of staying in my taman, there has been ZERO buses plying my area. LRT3 keepts getting delayed, and the nearest Komuter station is about 15-20minutes *drive* away. Meanwhile, pedestrian walkways ranges from poorly built/maintained to non-existent. How do you expect people to choose public transport??
Everywhere in the center of KL is walkable-ish. Yeah, our suburb connectivity are still shit. We are thousand miles away from our neighbour Singapore. It is sad really...
What taman are you living in. If in Klang, Setia Alam, Kota Kemuning and Pandamaran are known to be public transport hellholes.
I think the Demand Responsive Transit is a step in the right direction for RapidKL, the train service, station and connectivity is pretty decent in Kuala Lumpur, is just getting to and from the station to wherever you are or want to be, a real pain in the ass.
whoever went to good europe countries before, you'll know their bus is way way better than our rapidkl bus
The first & last mile problems need to be addressed together with this
KTM Komuter tu kalaulah pengurusan and reliable cam train bawah prasarana, more public akan guna. Tapi sayang.
Kena tunggu KVDT siap. Kalau Wee tak letak kroni2 dia dalam projek tu dah boleh siap projek tu sekarang.
@@akifiskandar4186 maaf KVDT tu apa? KV means klang valley ya?
@nihazdamba Projek naiktaraf landasan berkembar Lembah Klang
Would love to know more about the upgrade/integration of Masjid Jamek station, sadly it wasn't mentioned in the interview. Anyway great content!
Hope the Unity government will revolutionize the public transport in Klang Valley. There is a lot more to be done and hope they can do it in the next 10 years.
Please add train station in Muar 😢. Our bentayan bus station is outdated and the traffic always congested. Im tired of driving around Muar.
Looking forward and let’s move forward together 💪
Need update lrt kl station . Renovation and upgrade for wheelchair access
The bus service in 1980s was more reliable than now !😂😂😂😂
why why why we are not interconnecting KLIA 1 - KLIA 2 - SUBANG T3- KELANA JAYA LRT ARA DAMANSARA LINE
Very true, spot on!
Have to do ERL2
They need to think of scalability and future enhancement and improvement of public transport and rail services.
Don't be short sighted, and look far ahead and learn from neighbouring country.
Mrt semenyih ...😊
that increase in property value is so disheartening for those who are in the market to purchase a house
Keep on improving. First Last mile and frequent bus services much needed to help marginalised commuters. Please help thousands of residents of Desa Satumas, Hipster and soon to be completed Desa Sentral and just launched Suria Madani at end of Jalan Desa next to MRT2 lines. The nearest bus stop is 1.2 km served by 30 minutes interval feeder bus and 20 minutes ride when jam. To drive or walk to MRT Kuchai is 5 km. Help!
Need to fix KTM and more public transportation for Klang
the last mile to / from destination is still very unbearably unreliable
Government need to extend LRT Ampang Line from Chan Sow Lin Interchange Station to Gombak Integrated Terminal Station through Jln Tun Abdul Razak, interchange with LRT/MRT Ampang Park Station, and then through to the densed population areas where there are no rail transport network before it ending in Gombak Integrated Terminal Station .
Better build a new line altogether
The Government should listen to the critic and complaint by the public to ensure better public transport in the future because we ❤ Malaysia
Our train is okay but our busses is so shit
We need trams/streetcars like those things they have everywhere in France
When will they upgrade their payment system to enable open payments? Only a promise of no action is forthcoming.
But Rapid KL still hasn’t improved the bus service in KL! Unreliable busses and bad scheduling, not punctual, cannot guess when the next bus is going to arrive.
JAPAN ALL USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT BUT STILL IN THE TOP IN THE WORLD😂😂😂😂😂, MALAYSIA USED THEIR OWN PUBLIC TRANSPORT CANNOT GO FURTHER STILL BACKWARD😂😂😂😂😂...
Only Bossku can transform our public transportation infrastructure to the top levels...
yes, but also put our national debt to the max or to the top levels ! your anak cucu all tanggung hutang !
@christinachee7697 fyi...when Bossku took over in office the national debt is on 300b and when he left it's increasing to 600b... approximately 50% of the GDP...now the debt is 1.5 trillion 60% of the GDP....not getting small but getting bigger....how?...just blame najib ma like always
@@christinachee7697but our international credit rating during Najib's time was AA- from S&P, Aa3 from Moody's and AA and from Fitch but after Najib those ratings drop significantly to A-, A3 and BBB+ until right now. Who actually destroy the nation?
U sedut the batang of Bossmu untuk tak ade air liur ke?
@@a4draw295 biggest theft in history made malaysia well known BRAVO BOSSKU
Terbaik
Urban centre, I believe, no issue. Perharps, only question of maintenance & upgrading. It's in small towns that's congested that need attention & improvement in public transport..
She is pretty ❤
KV public transport still inconvenient and inconsistent for non urban areas...
yea, only KL need public transports. Other states still very rich, everyone can afford their own cars
Penang will get
❤after Njoying all these benefits🎉🎉🎉 peoples still complaining TDM about his criticization for mistake or opposite opinions!! Be grateful for what we have todays in comparison to other parts of world which very disgusting till todate!!🎉🎉
Sendiri syiokk company, i am still waiting for pay wave, where is it?
How about expending PT infrastructure outside of klang valley 1st
Penang, Melaka, Johor, N9 already coming especially bus
What about Sarawak Sabah
Then buy new train's for ktm komuter.
Banned ktm komuter for life
Enough is enough
Please improve JB public transport, we really need LRT/ART
extend ampang line to gombak/selayang!!! extend mrt kajang to bangi/putrajaya!!!
Waaah. This statement / promise from Gov at least failed for 65 years.
And who was in power for that 65 years as Transport Minister? 😂😂😂😂😂
Will never happen. Look at the mess of items, let alone Penang and Johor and Ipoh too. Sila bersurai.
Sadly only LRT & MRT are reliable, the connecting bus to the station are unpredictable.
KK and Kuching Rapid when?
saya pengguna ktm komuter(klang-kl sentral).dgn kekerapan 1jam sekali(luar jam kerja) sgt tak sesuai.
boleh ke rapidkl takeover ktm laluan klang ni utk diganti kan kepada lrt/mrt?
Boleh sebenarnya cumanya kena nego dengan RAC untuk dapatkan aset KTMB untuk laluan Komuter. Stesen dan infrastruktur landasan semua bawah kendalian RAC. Atau RAC boleh jemput Prasarana untuk kendalikan perkhidmatan Komuter bersama-sama dengan KTMB
better upgrade our public transportation and pedestrian rather than building HRS
Does he ride the train to work?

Service is now getting bad to worse. Not only the Lrt but the Ktm is so hopeless that even after so many complaints they are yet to improve. I think it is better to replace the racist government who is not capable to fulfill the rakyat complain.
Is current gov is racist, imagine PN in power 😂😂😂 u will be begging DSAI to come to power
@edwardv7991 If you see the allocation for indians then you will understand how racist he is.
I think it's better to replace this government with a government that is willing to provide better funding to our public transport instead of spending billions building these highways that only worsened the traffic and spend only like rm1 per month for prasarana and ktmb
You not satisfied with government you gives inefficiency remark.KL transportation in good condition and will improve further.
Kufur nikmat tul. I bet you'll be the same person who'll complain when PN wins.
Ya sure… u still need to drive to a station to take a train.
improvement too slow
Alasan mengapakah projek mesti jalan walaupun negare takde duit, perah gisar RAKYAT dengan pelbagai kenaikan cukai dan penarikan subsidi. Menteri tak cukup wang saku! MahalDahNi! MaluDahNi! MeluDahNi! MeluatDahNi! MampoiDahNi!
Sabah transport where? All our bus still from the stone age.
She is cute
