PETALING JAYA: Everything is already in place with only two weeks to the full opening of the Sungai Buloh-Kajang (SBK) MRT line, the first among the three-line Klang Valley MRT system.
Prasarana Malaysia Bhd is ready to deploy its fleet of dedicated MRT feeder buses – 300 of them – to serve commuters living around the line that is expected to attract at least 400,000 commuters daily.
According to the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD), by July 17, the country will be one step closer to its target of having 40% of all journeys in the Greater Kuala Lumpur/Klang Valley region to be on public transport by 2030.
In fact, SPAD chief executive Azharuddin Mat Sah is quietly confident that the 40% target can be surpassed before 2030.
A 40% modal share means four out of 10 trips in future are made using public transport.
