Without improved LPT and mode shift to LPT, the net result of the growth in travel demands arising<br />

from the land use changes will be further increased private vehicles usage. This will lead to longer<br />

travel times with a further significant rise in congestion for private vehicles as well as buses leading<br />

to unreliable travel times. This will affect the commercial performance of the region. The forecast<br />

2020 travel times to the centre KL clearly show the lengthening of private vehicle journey times<br />

with more areas in red (see Figure 3.5) and much fewer areas of blue.<br />

A similar comparison for LPT shows travel times will improve along those corridors with the<br />

commitments (more green areas) which include the LRT extensions to Putra Heights (see Figure 3.6)<br />

as well as the MRT1 line through Damansara and Cheras.<br />
