National Key Result Area (NKRA) On Urban Public Transport

Improving urban public transport. Public transport is one of the perennial irritants for urban Malaysians. For example, in Klang Valley today, there is high congestion during peak periods (e.g., commuters in KTM Komuter trains suffer from more than 40% over-capacity), often unreliable service with frequent delays and cancellations, poor connectivity between modes in certain areas (e.g., between monorail and LRT stations at KL Sentral) and poor access to public transport services (e.g., only about 61% of Klang Valley’s population lives within 400 metres of a bus route). This, in combination with continued growth in the number of private vehicles, has contributed to public transport modal share8 in Klang Valley falling steadily from 34% in 1985 to 20% in 1997; today it is closer to 10–12%.

We aim to:

• Raise the modal share to 13% by 2010 and to 25% by 2012 during the morning peak period of 7 AM to 9 AM in Klang Valley. We will subsequently adapt and apply successful initiatives to Penang and Johor Bahru
• Improve reliability and journey times
• Enhance comfort and convenience
• Improve accessibility and connectivity such that the percentage of the population living within 400 metres of a public transport route increases from 63% to 75% in 2010

To achieve the above KPIs, we will take four steps between 2009 and 2012 and one additional step beyond that timeframe to secure and extend these expected improvements:

1. Streamline capacity of a system already at its limits: By 2012, we will increase capacity on the KTM Komuter and LRT lines by 1.7 to 4.0 times (depending on specific line). This will involve refurbishments and purchases of rolling stock and trainsets (e.g., 26 new four-car trains for the Kelana Jaya LRT line). We will also introduce dedicated rights-of-way for buses across 12 major corridors in Klang Valley by 2012 (four in 2010). These 12 corridors will in total carry 35,000 to 55,000 passengers during the morning peak hours, or 6% to 9% of total public transport ridership by 2012. We will increase the size of the existing bus fleet by 850 buses by 2012 (200 in 2010). This will improve services on current routes and provide service to 53 new routes to address currently unserved areas.
2. Stimulate demand to attract people to public transport: Initiatives include introducing an integrated ticketing platform and fare structure (introducing the 1Ticket, 1Seamless Journey concept across all 16 operators in Klang Valley), adding roughly 6,800 new parking spaces by 2012 (4,000 in 2010) across 14 rail stations outside the urban core, enhancing feeder services into rail stations and upgrading high-traffic stations, terminals and bus stops. We will also increase physical connectivity between modes, e.g., via completely enclosed walkways. Enforcement and monitoring efforts will be critical to ensuring operators adhere to minimum service and operational standards. In order to achieve this, we will initiate efforts to integrate backend IT systems and launch joint on-the-ground enforcement efforts, across all major enforcement agencies – the 10 local authorities, Commercial Vehicles Licensing Board (CVLB), JPJ and PDRM.
3. Divert heavy vehicles from the Central Business District: We will create three major integrated transport terminals outside the city core, beginning with the southern ITT Bandar Tasik Selatan in 2010. This will be supported by ITT Gombak by the end of 2010 (which will divert more than 750 inter-city buses from the north and east from the city core every day) and then a third terminal, potentially in Sungai Buloh, to serve the northern inter-city express buses beyond 2012. Within the city centre, there will be two types of public transport hubs – first, the intra-city terminal hubs at Pasarama Kota, Plaza Rakyat and Pudu to facilitate the flow of traffic from the suburbs into the city, and second, 14 Hentian Akhir Bandars that will facilitate the movement of passengers and public transport vehicles within the city centre to reduce congestion and streamline overlapping routes.
4. Regulatory restructuring: We will ensure that the proposed Land Public Transport Authority (SPAD – Suruhanjaya Pengangkutan Awam Darat) is fully operational by the end of 2010. A prerequisite for success will be the creation of a single point of accountability for policy planning and regulatory oversight. This is currently lacking, with 12 ministries and various agencies currently involved in different aspects of public transport and no single industry captain to coordinate efforts across the entire public transport system. And beyond 2012...
5. Manage demand: Once public transport modal share is above 25% and the public transportation system has been improved in terms of reliability, journey times, comfort, accessibility and connectivity, we will accelerate initiatives to increase the relative attractiveness of public transport vis-à-vis private vehicles. One example is congestion pricing, which has been implemented successfully in London and Singapore.
