GTP 2.0 - Prime Minister's Office of Malaysia

INtEGRatIoN
The UPT NKRA recognises that the change to
best public transport systems are integrated,
meaning that there are cohesive and simple
transfers between different modes of public
transport. This means that commuters should
be able to transfer from train lines to inter- and
intra-city buses seamlessly when undertaking
their journey.
GTP 1.0 has made a number of changes to
facilitate better integration, the most notable
being the introduction of the Integrated
Transport Terminal in Bandar Tasik Selatan, which
integrates south-bound intra-city travel with
the KTM Komuter, LRT and ERL. The refurbished
Puduraya Bus Terminal performs the same
function but caters to north-bound traffic.
There are also plans underway to better
integrate the two main LRT lines–the Kelana
Jaya and Ampang lines–at three stations: Hang
Tuah, Masjid Jamek and Titiwangsa. The goal
is to create common concourses facilitating
seamless transfers between both lines. Presently,
commuters need to exit the turnstiles from each
respective line before transferring over to the
other, which further adds to commute times.
The launch of the Pasar Seni Bus Hub in
August 2012 also represented the first of several
city bus hubs planned to improve integration
between road and rail service. Similar facilities
have been planned for five other corridors
within the city centre, and are expected to ease
traffic congestion and further encourage public
transport usage.
Supporting infrastructure such as parking
complexes near rail
stations–also known
as Park & Rides–are
also being developed
along side some of
the busiest locations,
such as in Sungai Besi
and Gombak.

The goal of initiatives under
this workstream is to further
enhance and tweak the network
infrastructure of all modes of public
transport to make it more attractive
to commuters. For example, the
introduction of information boards
providing estimated arrival times
using GPS systems for buses in
selective bus stops make bus
travel a more reliable form of
public transport.
As the UPT NKRA has mainly
focused on increasing capacity
in GTP 1.0, the rakyat can expect
to see more innovations in this
workstream over the next three
years.
Proposed
key functions
1 Serve as collaboration platform for
new UPT enforcement-related
initiatives.
2 Improve eiciency of UPT
enforcement processes
(e.g., IP processing, cross-agency
processes and etc.).
3 Serve as UPT enforcement
information sharing hub where it
can serve as intelligence for future
operations.
4 Support new bus and taxi
initiatives of the GTP 2.0 UPT lab.
(For example, enforcement of bus
lanes where JPJ and PDRM are
involved in enforcement of private
vehicles.)
ENablERs
In addition to the initiatives above, the UPT NKRA has also identified a
number of ‘Enablers’ that will help to achieve its target modal share. The
enabling projects are:
Fare review
Fares will be reviewed to ensure they are commercially sustainable
and that operators as well as routes will not be abandoned if found
to be unprofitable.
driver’s academy and Enhancement Programme
A lack of qualified bus drivers continues to be a significant issue for
urban public transport, and the development of a training academy will
help to solve this issue.
Joint Task Force for enforcement
Enforcement of the various facets of UPT remains a key issue as at
least six regulatory agencies overlook UPT. The creation of a joint task
force will help streamline the enforcement process ensuring greater
efficiencies.
