What types of Public Transportation are available in Malaysia?

Public transportation helps the folk to move from one place to another more efficiently, affordably, and systematically. The local government usually plans and finances the cost of public transport construction, especially in our country.

The public transport network available in Malaysia are:

  • Buses

  • Light rapid transit (LRT)
  • Mass rapid transit (MRT)

The benefits of Public Transportation

1) Provide economic benefits to the community

The existence of public transport can provide economic benefits to the community. It will attract the attention of visitors who can help the economy of the small merchants. If we notice where there are public transport facilities, there will be a group of small street businesses. Usually, they will sell snacks and souvenirs.

2) Enhance fuel efficiency

Most public transport uses electricity or renewable energy as a power source. We already know that public transport uses efficient energy sources as fuel compared to vehicles that use petrol and diesel. The total fuel consumption of public transport is also not as much as vehicles that use gas.

3) Reduce the traffic jam

The use of public transport can reduce traffic congestion. Public transportation solves road congestion that often occurs at peak hours. Overcoming road congestion by building a new highway also involves high costs and a long time.

4) Enhance community movement

Not all Malaysians are capable of driving. The existence of public transport, such as trains (light rail, intercity, mass rapid), buses, etc, can help facilitate people’s movement.

5) Provide affordable public transport services

Public transport helps workers who are just starting in life. With reasonable fares and easy access from anywhere, especially in urban areas, reducing the burden of their lives.

6) Public transportation is useful for people who don’t want to commute to work

By taking public transport, those who want to go to work can avoid driving. While waiting for the train to reach its destination, we can spend time reading, resting, and, best of all, sleeping! (Don’t miss the station).
