This document discusses a research project to improve public transportation planning for five cities in Malaysia: Kajang, Bangi, Putrajaya, Bandar Seri Putra, and Nilai 3. The research aims to study public transportation demand and requirements for 2020. This will involve analyzing the current systems and solutions to issues. One proposed solution is constructing a new light rail transit line to connect the cities. Multi-story parking near stations is also suggested. The document provides background on each study area city and outlines calculations for theoretical passenger line capacity of a potential light rail system.

3. INTRODUCTION
The ability to access jobs, education, and public services
is a fundamental part of human development. An
efficient and cost effective public transport system
essentially connects people to daily life. For many cites,
though, effective public transport has been forgone,
leaving mobility needs exclusively in the hands of private
vehicles and uncoordinated paratransit operators.
These cities have been largely unprepared for the
consequences, including severe traffic congestion, air and
noise pollution, accidents, and the loss a sense of
community. A high-quality public transport system
remains an indispensable element in creating a city
where people and community comes first.
4. THE PROPOSE OF
THIS RESEARCH
Make improvements in the planning and design
of public transport services in these five cities:
1- Kajang
2- Bangi
3- Putrajaya
4- Bandar Seri Putra
5- Nilai 3
5.
6. Therefore it’s required to study public transport
demand and requirement in 2020 for these
cities, which will be done by:
1- Urban transport study of these cities.
2- Studying of the current public transport.
3- Solutions for the problems of the urban transport.
7. STUDY AREA
KAJANG
Kajang, is a town in the
eastern part of Selangor,
Malaysia. Kajang is the district
capital of Hulu Langat. It is
located 21 kilometers (13 mi)
from of Malaysia's capital,
Kuala Lumpur.

9. BANGI
Bangi is a small town situated on the
south of the district of Hulu Langat, in
Selangor, Malaysia. It is roughly situated
between the towns of Kajang (9
kilometres away) and Putrajaya formerly
Prang Besar) (also 9 kilometres away),
and is linked to KTM Komuter commuter
train services via the Bangi Komuter
station.
The town is surrounded by palm oil
estates; a Malaysian Palm Oil Board/UKM
research station is also based close to
the town.

11. PUTRAJAYA
Putrajaya is a planned city, located 25km south of Kuala Lumpur that serves as
the Federal administrative centre of Malaysia. The seat of government was
shifted in 1999 from Kuala Lumpur to Putrajaya, due to the overcrowding and
congestion in the Kuala Lumpur areas. It has a total area of 49 km2.

13. BANDAR SERI PUTRA
Bandar Seri Putra (formerly
Bandar Putra Mahkota) is
known to many as the Seri
