INDICatoRs (NkPIs)
Statistics from 2012 showed a significant rise
in the number of commuters opting for public
transport over the use of private vehicles,
which is a sign of success of the initiatives
implemented by the UPT NKRA in the first two
years of the GTP. But despite these positive
results, the UPT NKRA has not achieved its target
of attaining 25% public transport modal share
for 2012.
Public transport ridership increased by
80,000 passengers per day in 2012 but the
gains in ridership were offset by the faster
growth of private vehicle use. Data indicates that
public ridership grew to 930,468 trips in 2012
from 622,185 trips in the previous year. However,
the number of private trips grew to 4.35 million
from 3.5 million over the same period.
Though there has been an increase in
public transport ridership, its modal share has
not grown much from 17% in 2010.

Public Transport
Ridership
three factors contribute to the speedier growth of
private vehicle use:
Faster growth of private vehicle ownership – about
10,000 cars every two weeks – owing to affordable fuel
and vehicle costs.
Reluctance of private vehicle owners to switch to
public transport owing to a lack of awareness or poor
accessibility, connectivity and reliability.
The growth of rail, the only alternative to road transport
in Kuala Lumpur, has not kept pace with the growth of
roads as rail is not as profitable.
The preference of commuters to own and
drive their own vehicles rather than make the
switch to public transport has hampered the
efforts of the UPT NKRA team to boost public
transport modal share. However, as the KPI
table on the next page shows, the UPT NKRA
managed to achieve all its capacity goals as well
as increase consumer satisfaction despite
missing its modal share targets.
The aim in GTP 2.0 is to further enhance
“pull factors” to encourage commuters to
make the switch, while “push factors”–i.e.,
discouraging the use of the use of
private vehicles–are being considered for
implementation as well.
The combination of both push and pull is
expected to improve public transport modal
share over the next three years.
