Rolling stock

We have plenty to catch up with. Our rail network has been so expensive, yet not expansive. And in terms of rolling stock capacity, we are far far away from Mass Rapid Transit. We are still Light Rapid Transit, no?

I used Google Earth to estimate rolling stock lengths. Obviously train width and frequency also matters, but this is just perspective.


Putra LRT - near Universiti Station, along Federal Highway - 30m


Star LRT - near Plaza Rakyat - 55m

KTM Komuter - Segambut - 67m


KL Monorail - Brickfields Depot - 21m


Singapore MRT - near Queenstown - 135m


Taipei MRT - 138m


London Underground, Picadilly Line - near Osterley Station - 106m
