The World Bank in its Malaysia Economic Monitor June
2015, “Transforming Urban Transport” report, stated that residents in Kuala Lumpur
spend more than 250 million hours per year stuck in traffic. With an average
income of RM3, 000 per month or 18.75 per hour, it equates to a whopping loss
of over RM4 billion of productive work
hours. Hence, the government, alongside with private
sector, is presenting Transit Oriented Development as a practical and progressive
solution for congestion in development and also roads.
Transit Oriented Development is a solution with a
positive outlook as it opens up the opportunity to create dynamic, viable
communities in high density commercial and residential developments that are centred
around high-quality train systems which can improve the issue of congestions on
the road. Around the world, Transit Oriented Development has demonstrated to be
exceptionally effective, especially in Europe and Japan. The idea of having
Transit Oriented Development communities is also being widely accepted
throughout Asia such as in Singapore, China and even Malaysia.
