Journeys to the west

Rapid KL is expected to announce new bus routes for the Klang, Shah Alam, Subang Jaya, Damansara, Petaling Jaya and Puchong areas on September 23. It was initially planned for September 16.

Everyone knows that the KTM Komuter is always packed when you need to use it. And KTM is probably going to take quite some time to purchase new rolling stock (if ever).

I have looked at the new routes. There's something sorely missing.

So what I suggest now is that on September 23, Rapid KL will also introduce a Trunk or Express service that plies the NPE between Subang and KL, in addition to its current plans.

This service can spread out some passenger traffic from the already overused KTM Komuter. How about having the service start at somewhere in USJ / KTM Komuter and then move down the NPE pass Bandar Sunway and then pass Pantai Dalam into Jalan Bangsar before terminating at Sentral?

This route is almost parallel to the current Komuter, and it bypasses the busy Federal Highway?

But I guess it's a problem because Rapid KL won't want to pay toll charges to NPE.
