Klang Valley - Transport

Transport

Even though the Klang Valley officially consists of separate cities and suburbs, integration between these cities is very high, with a highly developed road network and an expanding rapid transit system. Many expressways criss-cross the metropolis making cars the most convenient way to get around . This however has led to the Klang Valley's notorious traffic jams that span whole kilometres of expressways and make driving during peak hours exhausting. Since the 1990s new rapid transit systems such as the RapidKL Light Rail Transit (LRT) and the KL Monorail have been developed. These systems are currently undergoing extensive expansion, with the 2 LRT lines being expanded into outlying suburbs and upgraded to fully-fledged Mass Rail Transit systems, and a whole new MRT line being built from the southeastern suburb of Kajang to the northwestern suburb of Kota Damansara.

Famous quotes containing the word transport:

    One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
