The New Straits Times, 15 March 2014
KUALA LUMPUR: Property prices in Kajang are expected to
surge with the availability of better public transport infrastructure
like the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT), said Deputy Chief Minister Datuk
Ahmad Maslan.
Business activity in the town, the last station on the Sungai
Buloh-Kajang MRT line, will also be enhanced with the better bus, rail
and taxi connectivity, he told reporters while on a working visit to the
MRT project in Jalan Reko, Kajang, near here today.
Ahmad said the the country's most modern public transport mode will
enable Kajang residents to travel safely and conveniently to
destinations in the Klanag Valley without the hassle of traffic jams
while saving time.
The high-capacity MRT project, announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri
Najib Tun Razak when tabling Budget 2011 on Oct 15, 2010, is expected to
be completed in July 2017.
"The MRT is also expected to raise public transport ridership to at least 40 per cent," said Ahmad.-- BERNAMA
