Whats up with our MassTransit

Discover our current state of

public transport

What defines public transport

TRIP

Collective movement of people

ROUTE

Servicing common corridor with greaterefficiency

PLATFORM Facilitated by pooled resources (stations,

street signals, dedicated lanes etc)


3/43

Why people do not use public

transportTRIP

(Mass) transit journey is too tiring

ROUTE

Transit routes are very complicatedPLATFORM

Transit points are not accessible

cant arrive there on time and in one piece

dont know how to get there

dont want to go through all the hassle


4/43

TRIP: Transit journeys too tiring

LONG WAIT

No fix schedule; operators

modify schedule to reapmaximum occupancy out oftheir fixed routes

BADLY DESIGNED ROUTES

Intercity lines choose time-consuming routes and local lineszigzag and loop excessively in the suburban areas


5/43

TRIP: Transit journeys too tiring

TRAVEL DISCOMFORT

Overcrowding of entrances,exits and gangways

Restricted commuter flow anddoor failure cause delays

Sardine-packed conditions for

very long duration


6/43

ROUTE: Transit routes are very

complicatedDIFFERING FEE STRUCTURE AND NO INFO Unfair distribution of fee pricing across commuters from

differing places where a short trip involving multiple

routes can cost more than a long, single route trip

No integrated transit information across differentoperators, service lines and transit points

Info not user friendly, confusing and hard to obtain


7/43


8/43

PLATFORM: Transit points are

not accessibleNO FIRST & LAST MILE CONNECTIV ITY Available infrastructure not friendly to pedestrians

Distance between halts are inconsistent withpopulation distribution around halts


9/43

PLATFORM:

Transit points are notaccessible

BAD TRANSIT PILE-UP

Transit flow blocked by idling andparked public and private vehicles

Haphazard loitering of vehicles with

no proper platforms, signs andspaces to facilitate passenger pick-up and drop-off


10/43


not accessibleBAD TRANSIT CONNECTIONS

Neighboring communities are divided by limited access

Tolled Highways and congested Freeways, limiting directtransit interconnection possibilities

Paths from hubs to highway exits are very complex,

congested and time-consuming

FAITH IN PUBLIC TRANSPORT

FAITH IN PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Belief has over sixty branches. The best of

them is the words,There is no god but

Allah andthe leastof them is to remove

an obstacle from the

road. (Hadith)

Making it easy for people to move around is part of faith

Why current system cannot work

TRIP

Collective movement of peopleROUTE




The single most important competitor to public transport is private transportTaxpayers money has not been used to fund common infrastructure to

support public transport the way it is used tobuild and maintain roads for cars.

Operators pit against each other by every costsavings they can get away with in absence of anystandards, regulations and enforcements

Mass transit vehicles compete scarce travel space with private vehiclesOperators maximize whatever they can squeeze from any loophole in public

infrastructure (i.e. loitering of parked busses, unruly road hogging and speeding)

More bus lanes with full timeDBKL/traffic enforcement

Allow buses to use emergency laneduring traffic gridlock, with police

enforcement and proper signage

Segregate lines depending on traveljourney (express, trunk, local, intracity)

Utilize expressways such as KESAS,

Who does what in public transport

TRIP

Collective movement of peopleROUTE




This highly systemic and strategic task should be trusted toacentralized authoritywith federal-level

legislative and enforcement powers

This operational task is typically taken by private orquasi-governmentoperators.

Pooled resources refer to commonly shared infrastructures funded by taxpayers.Ownership bylocal and regional level authoritiesis a must.


31/43

Available railwaynetwork hard to be

extended due touncontrolled urban

32/43

Who does what in public transport:

CENTRALIZED AUTHORITY Power vested by the taxpayers to legislate

policies and authorize enforcements at thefederal level for systemic and strategic planning,implementation and review of the nations masstransit performance, cascading to local level.

Formulate and monitor performance measures(initiatives, KPIs, standards and targets) for eachresponsible parties

Has bargaining power and expertise in allocatingrisks and responsibilities between operators andauthorities, and designing non-discriminating taxrevenue distributing scheme.


33/43


LOCAL AUTHORITY Power vested by taxpayers to fine-tune national

policies and authorize enforcements at the locallevel.

Manage federal grants to provide dedicated

lanes, signals and structures, depots, stations,hubs, halts and rationalized transit paths.

Manage local funds to provide infrastructure forsafe and convenient pathways to transit halts

Assign routes and schedules based on feedback

Transparent contracting to competent operators


34/43


OPERATORS Operational costs: labor, fuel, maintenance,

administration

Contract renewal based on conformance to standardsmonitored by centralized authority

Bonus and incentives for increased accessibility

(handicapped and seniors) and pollution free engines(NGVs, hybrids)

Penalties for not achieving agreed KPIs.

Express buses chartered out during non-peak hours
