V.3.f. The Kota Railway Station Terminal and Pintu/Besar/Jem.
Batu/Petongkangan Intersection
Widening the existing roundabout at the
Kota Terminal would create an area for
buses to queue after dropping passengers
and before picking up. The current system
results in passengers waiting a long time to
alight when additional buses are added.
As at the Blok M terminal, there is a
problem of the buses departing less than
full. Creating a separate boarding platform
for passengers willing to stand from those
wishing to sit would allow those willing to
stand to board faster, and increase the load
factor of each bus, increasing system
efficiency.

As in other areas, illegally idling
paratransit vehicles consume a full
traffic lane.
Another major bottleneck is created at the Pintu/Besar/Jem.Batu/Petongkangan
Intersection, with some 500 to 1500 meters of congestion much of the day. This
bottleneck could be improved significantly by reducing the signal phasing from three
phases to two in the manner below. This would require also rerouting some right turning
northbound traffic in manner shown below:
