Talk:Transport in Greater Kuala Lumpur

.

Hi

I hope we all can work on the whole series of Klang Valley / Kuala Lumpur public transport.

Right now, I am working on creating pages for stations. Content is tough, but for a start, I'll draw station / vicinity maps. The easy part that everyone is doing is by producing information about the train services and Rapid KL buses.

But how about more useful information, that is hard to get, like bus connections?

It would be nice if anyone could help me gather as much information about bus stops, as in where they are and what buses serve what stops. And how about filling in the blanks in all those bus route tables we have in Buses in Kuala Lumpur and Rapid KL buses?

And for the train stations, can we start finding more interesting information? Like interesting histories, trvia (like Masjid Jamek Putra station was once known as Benteng?), or congestion levels (like saying that Masjid Jamek is busy while Abdullah Hukum isn't).

And if we can develop this whole thing a bit further, how about coming up with tips on how to avoid congestion or what alternative services there are when the LRT breaksdown (read: Kelana Jaya line)

And more/better photos pls

Happy deeparaya

Merge and restructure proposal

These two contain similar information and content. Merge and reorganisation proposed on Public transport in Kuala Lumpur and Transportation in Kuala Lumpur Info3000 (talk) 05:33, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Merger proposal

A transclusion (by user:GenQuest) of merge discussion showing direction changes follows:

Formal request has been received to merge: Rapid KL, Public transport in the Klang Valley, Transport in Kuala Lumpur, Buses in Klang Valley into Klang Valley Integrated Transit System; dated: June 2020. Proposer's Rationale: All of the above mentioned articles are either duplicates of each other or describe specific components of the Integrated Transit System, and merging all these articles with information already present in the Destination Page, and creating new sections for information not currently present in the Destination Page would centralise all the information about Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley Area's public transit system as a whole, and remove any confusion for readers. ~Thanks! Jh15s.

§ Discuss here. GenQuest ^{"Talk to Me"} 11:53, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Transport in Kuala Lumpur does not fit into this proposed merger at all, it's a large overarching article. Public transport in the Klang Valley is similarly broader in scope. Buses in Klang Valley includes operators outside of the integrated system, and if it was to merge into anything it would be Public transport in the Klang Valley. A concern with integrating Rapid KL into Klang Valley Integrated Transit System is that Rapid KL is far older than the integrated system, as the integrated system cobbled together existing transport options rather than creating new transport. Compare for example the Transport for London system, where individual lines all have their own articles and even Oyster card is separate. My suggestion for centralising information would be to expand Klang Valley Integrated Transit System with better summaries for all its component parts. CMD (talk) 09:53, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

I agree with User:Chipmunkdavis. The Rapid KL article is about the Rapid KL brand of services that belongs to Prasarana Malaysia, much like how KTM Komuter is a part of Keretapi Tanah Melayu, and has a distinct purpose from the other articles mentioned. The public transport system in Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley is not only made up of Rapid KL, the article serves more of explaining about the brand of Prasarana Malaysia. I do agree however that Public transport in the Klang Valley and Transport in Kuala Lumpur can be merged because they are very identical. Kuala Lumpur is wholly part of the Klang Valley, so whatever public transport that serves the Klang Valley serves and overlaps with Kuala Lumpur as well. As for Buses in Klang Valley and Klang Valley Integrated Transit System, they both talk about two different aspects of the public transport infrastructure of the Klang Valley, i.e. bus and rail. The integrated transit article itself is very lengthy and should not be combined with the others. However, the bus article can be merged with the public transport article, most of the information there can be summarised. But the rail transit article should remain separate as it has its own importance. Draco97 (talk) 13:59, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

I, too, would agree that the transport in Kuala Lumpur article does not fit into this proposed merger. I have worked on this and have a few publications related to it. Public transportation is not ALL transportation (a more general article); thus, public transportation is a more specific article. I would 'vote against' the proposed merger.
