Transport minister Anthony Loke posted on Facebook yesterday that he has chaired a meeting with Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) and the Railway Assets Corporation (RAC) on the need to ramp up ‘Road to Rail’ (transporting …

Loke meets KTM, RAC – ramp up ‘Road to Rail’ efforts; one 40-wagon train can take 80 lorries off the roads and the Railway Assets Corporation on the need to ramp up ‘Road to Rail’ efforts.

“I emphasise that the ‘Road to Rail’ policy must be intensified and the argument that lorries are ‘cheaper’ must be corrected. Getting cheap rates throughis unacceptable. One 40-wagon train can reduce 80 lorries on our roads, lowering the risk of accidents and road congestion,” he said. , expected to begin operations in stages from 2027, is a major project under the ‘Road to Rail’ initiative.

One of theWhile most dream of the future, Jonathan Tan dreams of the past, although he's never been there. Fantasises much too often about cruising down Treacher Road in a Triumph Stag that actually works, and hopes this stint here will snap him back to present reality.baguslaaah….barulah berfungsi semula landport landport yang lama kosong … ktmb pun boleh bernyawa semula … jalan pun kurang sesak …Yeah! Bagus tu.

Landport boleh bernafas semula. make the best use of landtransport system yang sudah ada. tambah baik dan memperbahrui usaha meningkatkan effisisensi perkhidmatan pengangkutan.yes because Loke is minister of klia aerotrain , no wait he is minister of transport which covers a lot of different other areas. MAHB , LTAT, boustead etc have a long track record of screwing up old projects. and yet they still can get gomen new projects.

Nah…this will hardly work because the main concern is last mile transportation. Numbers of lorry will only reduce at main highway. In each state, it will remain the same as goods still need lorry to reach their final destination.

“reduce at main highway” thats already removed the need for lorries for over half of the journey. obviously we dont expect train to reach final doorstep as that would be magic.we have seen a lot of action from JPJ. Penguatkuasa perlu tegas dan konsisten untuk mengembalikan keyakinan rakyat. di sine sudah ada pendapat kurang keyakinan dgn daya upaya JPJ. oleh itu pegawai JPJ perlu ambil cabaran ini untuk memperbaiki imej dan respect rakyat.

Hope to allow back to bavk 20′ on one wagon.. and to allow higger tonnage pee wagon.. then only you van remove 80 ttucks for a 40 wagon train load…
