Original Proposal by SPNB
Proposal 1:
Branch off LRT to connect Red Line (Kelana Jaya) and Green Line (Puchong)
Proposal 2:
Monorail to connect Setia Jaya Komuter station, red line and green line.
Effective public transportation is an essential for socio-economic growth. Reliable public transportation can reduce cost of transportation thus reducing congestion, reducing pollution and increasing productivity.
However looking at the original proposal, some improvement need to be done in order to increase LRT effectiveness.
Using original proposal, commuters from Puchong to Kelana Jaya need to travel back to Bandar Putra, change train there. On the other hand, commuters from Port Klang need to change train twice at Subang Jaya and Bandar Putra.
Thus, there is a need of LRT branch off to connect between Green Line and Red Line.
The Subang Jaya Komuter Station need to be upgrade and it is propose it become transit hub like KL Sentral. The line can be considered to be extend to the new Shah Alam terminal at Batu 3 and Melawati Stadium to accommodate Park and Ride facilities for Shah Alam people.
It is a fair proposal that could benefit most people in major town in Selangor.
Alternatively, if there is a strain of time, money and space, reviving Sunway Monorail is another option. A single track shuttle can be connect between Green Line and Red Line. Another single track can connect Setia Jaya Komuter Station to the interconnecting Green and Red Line via Sunway Pyramid.
It is propose SPNB, takeover the Sunway Monorai, revive it and integrate it to the LRT system.
Last but not least, KTMB must do their part by providing enough Komuter train to support surge in passanger in Subang Jaya Komuter station and maybe in future to provide non-stop service between Subang Jaya and KL Sentral.
