This is what they are doing on KTM Commuter trains recently-the public transport service which provides the routes covering the suburbs of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor to link to the city centre.
As what I know,the frequency of the service hasn’t been changed for more than 5 years,with at least 20 minutes of waiting time.However,during the years,the population in such areas has increased many times and still going up.So the fact is,trains are crowded in most of time,but the service quality is decreasing because the trains are always overused with bad maintenance.In order to keep the normal service,KTM has to utilise Diesel locomotives on some electrical cars.
Is that a quite unique scene?
