They are the company responsible for MRT lines in Malaysia. Kajang Line, Putrajaya Line and right now the MRT Line 3 also known as the MRT3 Circle Line. It is also responsible for the RTS Link between JB and Singapore too. Now, it will also be responsible for LRT Penang. Before this, LRT Penang was under the Penang Transport Master Plan (PTMP) and the project delivery partner for it was SRS Consortium Sdn Bhd.
One major advantage of train versus plane is that with the train, the journey itself is an adventure. It’s really possible to visit 10 different places with a train journey of 1,000km versus a typical 1.5 hours journey via a plane and it’s just from destination A to B. Of course, the total duration via the train could be one whole day or more but that’s the beauty yeah. We have the convenience of visiting places along the train journey with every stop along the way.
They say one picture tells a thousand words. Take a look a the photo below from the MRT Corp’s Facebook page yeah. Highlighted in yellow is “Free Ride for MRT Putrajaya Line starting 16th March until 31st March 2023 – PM Anwar.” It is a not a lot of money for two weeks but it is still a lot of good savings for meals, kopi-O and even some supper of roti canai! I am not sure if I would have the time but will see how to bring my kids for their second ride since it’s free.
Everyday, 300,000 people travel between JB and Singapore. KL – SG flight route is the busiest in the world. Malaysia and Singapore are the two countries which when 1+1 is equal to 3. Integration always start from connectivity. Economic growth always come from closer integration and connectivity. No trade routes, no growth. So, it is a foregone conclusion that HSR KL – SG is definitely needed.
MRT Putrajaya Line fully opens TODAY. Okay, depending on when you read this article, it starts at 3pm yeah. Yes, this article is scheduled to go out on 16th of March. 🙂 Happy milestone yeah.
I am super happy reading this news today. It meant that Klang Valley is becoming even more connected and it’s getting harder for people to use the excuse just to buy a new car. 🙂 I will choose to drive because I prefer the convenience. However, as everyone knows, the petrol subsidy days are coming to an end soon. I have no idea how it will be implemented but perhaps there would be a limit? Anyway, I have an Exora and a Persona. Perhaps national cars are given some advantage in getting the petrol subsidy? Haha. Let’s see.
Taking MRT more often? Push and Pull are both needed. Many friends told me that the reason people take the MRT in Singapore is because
