Population and employment densities have been mapped out below and overall, they show higher population densities, mainly in suburbs of KL and the regional centres such as Shah Alam, Klang and Petaling Jaya (see Figure 2.2). The greatest concentrations of employment are in the city centre of Kuala Lumpur. Recent trends have highlighted the increasing concentration of employment in the major centres which has implications for the choice of appropriate modes to serve these centres. In areas where the concentrations of demands are highest, rail is the most effective and efficient the transport mode for that area.

2.4) Current Taxi Vehicle Classes There are several classes of vehicle licensed in GKL/KV which form the taxi industry. The classes and definitions are shown in Table 2.2. The categories of taxis are defined as follows: Executive which caters for the city‟s affluent visitors and business travellers Budget which are found across the region Premier, which sat between the budget and Executive classes, is currently being phased out due to the overlap with the executive class and no new licences are being issued. Others are airport taxis exclusively serve airport passengers whilst limousines and hired cars are contracted to hotels and several areas respectively. The core taxi market, Budget and Executive vehicles are the focus of this TTP.

It is clear that the budget sector is the main taxi market across GKL/KVwith over 29,000 licences in the budget class and 1,500 licences in the Executive class. Budget therefore represents 95% of taxi licences and Executive the remaining 5% of the market. Page 11
