The assessment identified the time frame for implementation which led to the priority order as
shown in Figure 4.6. The first two corridors to be assessed for detailed design are part of the
priority 1 identified as KL- Klang and KL- Taman Melawati corridors.
Figure 4.6: BRT Corridors
In developing the BRT network there are a number of associated initiatives which are outlined in a
later section.
4.6) Planning the Local Bus Network
Chapter 2 outlined the current network in GKL/KV where the focus is currently on providing services
to centre KL. During the LPTMP there will be a radical transformation of the overall LPT network as
the rail network develops and the role of bus evolves with that development. In concept terms
figure 4.7 shows the step changes involved.
First stage: Network presently focuses on centre KL with operators competing to provide
services on the main radial corridors and little service elsewhere, leading to gaps in the
system.
Second stage: In the short term there will be enhancements to the bus system through the
provision of BRT, initially on key radial corridors. With the provision of these services, the
existing services on that corridor will need to be reviewed and amended to reduce
unnecessary competition and support the BRT services. Where there are gaps in the current
network for existing development areas, these need to be reviewed and services allocated
as appropriate.
