3. Major problems of urban transport Kuala Lumpur is not always considered as a “megacity” for its scale and population. However, its urban area and urban population density can be compared to many metropolitans in the Global North. Being a motor-dominated city with high population density, rapid economy growth, and a rather small scale, Kuala Lumpur is facing its own problems of urban transport. (1) Kuala Lumpur has one of the lowest public transport passenger amount levels in Asia due to the

The impact of doing or not doing an Expedite class request is immediate and cost of delay is very high. The Expedite Class of Service can be very disruptive to flow due to its emergency nature. Use a dedicated lane to protect some capacity against these disruptions and then limit the number of expedites on the board at any given time. This allows to service the Expedite class while minimizing the impact on the other Classes of Service. There is a risk of swarming this lane with delayed items and

quantity of vehicles using a small fixed amount of land, in addition to slower speed limits, stalling of vehicles and accidents on the road. As previously mentioned, the population in Toronto is continuously increasing, as well as the demand for transportation. Due to the demand of transportation methods exceeding the supply results in a rise in traffic on the roads, and therefore creating more congestion. (Farahani et al., 2013).
