Assalamualaikum
and salam satu Malaysia to all viewer. For this post, our lecturer has giving a
task for our group to share to all of you about the urban transit challenges. As
we know, Malaysia is the country that use many types of business. For example,
for transportation sector in business, our country may use the import and
export of goods. So, there are many rules makes by government that we should
follow to sustainability our stability of country. For our task, we need to do studies
about transit challenges of urban transit in Malaysia. There are several
challenges that the transit system of a city may face.
Firstly, based
on what we have discussed the regulation is the most important in every
country. So, in term of Malaysia regulation, there are many types of rules in
transportation that we need to know. As example, the trucking industry has
received favourable tax treatment for payment of highway construction and
maintenance As has been seen in our
country, transportation does not operate in a completely free-market
environment. Regulatory constraints to entry, pricing, and customer relations
have dictated the management practices of carriers of transportation even after
the deregulation. We cannot broke the rules that government prevent for our
citizen. If we broke the rules, government will appear in law-court. It also has
assumed the responsibility to ensure the safety of travellers.
Next, after we
sitting in traffic jam for over an hour, our blood pressure begins to rise and
our temper are of the scale. You can’t understand why all these drivers are on
this highway at this time. They should be at home, shopping or anywhere else
except here on his roadway at this time. The traffic jam should be happen in
transit system of a city. This is because there are many of transportation
drives in this urban side. So traffic jam can challenges transit in this
situation.
Lastly, decentralization and suburbanization have created an urban space of lower density that cannot be efficiently serviced by mass transit systems outside specific corridors. Under such circumstances, transit is limited to a part of the city and a city-wide service becomes prohibitive. Access to urban transit systems can also be a challenge, notably when connectivity between the transit city and its suburbs is complex. The goal is to offer enough incentives, such as park-and-ride facilities, so that the interface between the transit and non-transit transport system is improved. Even within the transit city, the fixity of main transit lines creates challenges which are extremely difficult to overcome as new travel patterns that are not supported by urban transit can emerge.
