Schnellbahnverkehr in Kuala Lumpur
Vorlage:Use dmy dates Vorlage:Infobox Public transit
The Klang Valley Integrated Transit System (TRANSIT) consists of two commuter rail lines, five rapid transit lines, one bus rapid transit line and an airport rail link to Kuala Lumpur International Airport, which consists of an express and a transit service.
History
Initially, different competing companies had operated the various systems and had developed these commuter rail lines separately and at different times. As a result, many of these lines do not integrate well with the others or with the overall system itself, making transferring from system to system inconvenient for the passengers. Moving from one system to another often require a lot of walking, stair-climbing, escalator-use and even crossing busy roads. For example, the KL Monorail's "KL Sentral" station is a 140-metre walk away through a newly built shopping complex named "NU Sentral". The integrated ticket for all rail-based systems, such as TnG cards, would help any passenger transfer seamlessly across all stations in the system.
Integration
Since 28 November 2011, the paid areas of the Kelana Jaya and Ampang LRT lines, as well as the KL Monorail from 1 March 2012, had been integrated physically under a common ticketing system. This enables commuters to transfer between lines at certain interchange stations without buying a new ticket each time, provided that they do not exit the paid area. This is currently possible at Titiwangsa station, Hang Tuah station, Putra Heights LRT station and Masjid Jamek LRT station.
The Touch 'n Go stored value farecard is accepted as mode of payment on the Rapid Bus, LRT and monorail lines, as well as the KTM Komuter, easing the hassle of buying separate tickets for travelling on different networks.
Also, Rapid Rail, the operator of the three LRT lines as well as Rapid Bus (which cover about 70% of the Klang Valley's bus network), has come up with a daily bus ticket which cost as low as RM1, and integrated transit daily pass which can be used on both its rail and bus services that costs RM7.
The Integrated Cashless Payment System (ICPS)
Once implemented, the ICPS solution will provide commuters with a seamless and convenient travel experience. The benefits of the ICPS solution are :
- Barrier-free travel between different rail lines
- Multiple options for e-payment, including Common Prepaid Cards, Bankcards/Debit Cards, and mobile applications such as Apple Pay and Android Pay
- Reduced queuing at stations and less station congestion
- The promotion of a cashless society
Commuters will also save a substantial amount of money on public transport once the ICPS solution has been implemented:
- No transfer premiums will be charged for integrated journeys
- Special discounts will be given for customised products, suited to each group of commuters present within the Klang Valley
The ICPS solution is currently in development and is projected to be used by an estimated 1 million passengers daily in its first year of operation.
System network
KTM komuter was introduced in 1995 as the first rail transit system to provide local rail services in Kuala Lumpur and the surrounding Klang Valley suburban areas.[1] Light rails and monorail was introduced later on as to serve urban Kuala Lumpur area and its satelite cities, e.g. Ampang, Petaling Jaya, Gombak, etc. While the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Sungai Buloh-Kajang (SBK) line aims to connect from the north west region of Kuala Lumpur, e.g. Sungai Buloh, Damansara to the south east region of Kuala Lumpur, e.g. Cheras, Kajang through the heart of the Kuala Lumpur City Centre.
Proposed lines
The construction for the second MRT line, Vorlage:KLRT line is anticipated to be started by November 2015.[11] The third light rail transit line, the Vorlage:KLRT line is now in discussion after it was approved by the government.[12]
