Wake-up call for KTM Komuter

The letter about the mess that Komuter is making itself in Wake-up call for KTM Komuter is but the continuation of of the public's long standing complaints about an essential service that has apparently gone unheeded.

As anyone can see, the Komuter link between Klang and KL Sentral is the most important "people mover" link that the capital of KL has, and if it's operated efficiently, it can become the most important part of the solution to our traffic congestion on the Federal Highway route. Instead of acknowledging this fact, the authorities have treated the route with reluctance bordering on indifference, forcing the commuters to revert to using their cars for commuting, adding to the gridlock.

It is fortunate that the LRT is beginning to fulfill its promise as a mass transit provider, and we hope the MRT will too, But we also hope the authorities will not ignore the fact that the Komuter can also play an essential role in the mass transportation sector, and given the burgeoning population in, and the urbanization of, the Klang Valley, it will go a long way to help alleviate the congestion experienced by commuters in the area.
