Growing traffic congestion in Kuala Lumpur requires discouraging the use of private vehicles and improving the public transport ecosystem, according to experts.
Limited public transport lines and lack of first- and last-mile connectivity contribute to people preferring private vehicles.
To address the issue, experts suggest implementing higher toll fares, limited parking, and workweek car-free days.
They also emphasize the need for better access to public transport from housing areas and the promotion of the public transportation system.
