KL’s new LaLaport transport hub targets 10,000 passengers a day, says Hannah Yeoh
Kuala Lumpur has launched the LaLaport Transportation Hub, an integrated facility designed to handle up to 10,000 passengers daily. The hub connects rail, bus, and e-hailing services to improve urban mobility in the city center.
Why it matters
Enhanced public transport infrastructure is critical for managing the 1.2 million daily commuters in Kuala Lumpur and reducing urban congestion.
KUALA LUMPUR, July 16 — Kuala Lumpur’s newest integrated transport hub is targeting up to 10,000 passengers a day as it strengthens connections between rail, buses and other transport services while serving as a key gateway for travellers to and from Singapore, Federal Territories Minister Hannah Yeoh said today.
Launching the LaLaport Transportation Hub, Yeoh said Kuala Lumpur sees 1.2 million people entering and leaving the city daily, with about 5.5 million journeys recorded each day, making investments in urban mobility increasingly important.
“The LaLaport Transportation Hub is a welcomed addition to Kuala Lumpur’s transport network. As a recognised and licensed terminal, it provides a comfortable boarding and drop-off point for express bus passengers right in the city centre,” she said.
