Executive Summary - SPAD

Typically the more accessible areas by LPT reflect the rail corridors within Kuala Lumpur. Within
the central area of KL there is a strong focus on the LRT corridors. The map does show that areas
to the north and west of the region generally have less accessibility than to the south.
Therefore for LPT; only those employers close to a rail or LRT line have good access to the
workforce and similarly those residents living close to such lines have greater access to
employment by LPT.
Integration
A number of stations are poorly integrated with other modes.
The travel cards introduced by RapidKL are increasing the ticket integration between bus and LRTthis
system will be extended to KTM as part of the NKRA.
2.1.2) Stakeholder Engagement
As part of the ongoing study stakeholder engagement with key agencies was used to inform the
development of the PTMP. The initial engagement included federal agencies, Dewan Bandaraya Kuala
Lumpur (DBKL), Selangor State Unit Perancang Ekonomi Negeri (UPEN), Perbadanan Putrajaya, other
district local authorities, and transport operators. From this process SPAD:
Identified key concerns and issues
Identified stakeholder‟s plans and proposals for the future
Collated a range of data (land use information, rail patronage, bus network data, traffic counts and
journey time data
The key view points on LPT from stakeholders on each mode are set
out below. For rail, the main industry concerns highlighted issues in
relation to the capacity and quality of the existing system,
integration between modes particularly the feeder services and gaps
in network coverage. From the bus industry the concerns covered
issues related to competition between the different types of
operator. Alongside issues of congestion the main bus industry
concern was the profitability of operations. From the taxi industry
the concerns were less on the profitability of the industry and more
related to standards of service including congestion, road
maintenance, driver training and vehicle types.
Therefore in assessing the timing of improvements there is a view that there are a number of problems to
be resolved now in terms of the quality of the LPT system in the region.
