User Perspective on the State of Public
Transportation
Suggestion on how to improve it
Majlis Bajet Consultation 2009
21 April, 2008
Significant Problems
Poor planning of public transportation services and development Uncoordinated, incomplete planning
Lack of timely investment in public transportation services Overcrowding, network breakdown
Existing networks have significant missing links and are not properly integrated
Many options but services are unreliable
Organization and Regulation
Too many government agencies Not enough power/ability/willingness to
enforce regulations “Lower-income group” low expectations Competition does not help the public
transportation industry Operators may sacrifice quality, service,
mobility, safety, rights of workers, etc.

Regional / local planning
Local governments focus on traffic management and cater to cars
Development planning does not include public transportation
Planning is not coordinated with other governments within the region
Proposed extensions usually focus on increasing operator profits rather than mobility

Bus and Rail Operators are under contract (time limited) to each LPTA.The Ministry of Finance would buy buses and provide capital funding where needed. LPTAs would own the buses and routes and maintain local oversight and provide direct operations subsidy where needed.

Real Investments in Public Transportation
Change of Attitude – We are investing in infrastructure which is an asset for this nation
Rail infrastructure is the most efficient way to move people and goods
Complete rail networks increase people’s mobility Better planning + mobility = better quality of life Remove thousands of cars from our roads daily Fewer jams = greater economic productivity &
economic growth
A more complete Rail Network

A Plan for Action
Short-Term (up to 2009) Nominal reduction in petrol subsidy Revamp existing public transport services Fill in “missing links” in rail and bus networks
Mid-Term (up to 2012) Expand rail and bus networks in major cities Invest in “rapid transit” networks, KTM services
Long Term (2015-2020) Complete National Public Transport Network
