YBhg Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Syed Hamid bin Syed Jaafar Albar
Chairman
Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD), Malaysia
SPAD is proud to have hosted, for the very first time, the SPAD Land Public Transport
Symposium in December 2013. Spread out over three days, it was an effort by SPAD to
bring together all stakeholders within the land public transport ecosystem.
As the guardian of land public transport development in Malaysia, SPAD always
welcomes engagement and feedback via multiple platforms and fora. The Land Public
Transport Symposium 2013 provided an interactive platform to not only exchange ideas
and increase awareness on topics which confront and challenge the land public transport
ecosystem but also allowed industry players to engage in constructive dialogue, so that
voices and activities could be leveraged to positive effect.
One method of outreach for SPAD is via the SPAD Academy, which was set up to not only
train but also educate stakeholders on all matters relating to land public transport. The SPAD
Academy Seminar Series was conceptualised as part of a series of international conferences
and roundtables to set the tone in human capital development, thought leadership and also
trigger lively exchange between government, the private sector and civil society. It is
only through sound justifications and convincing arguments can we ensure a cohesive
transport structure will place society’s sustainable development at the forefront of planning.
This report is an annual publication of SPAD to archive and officially record developments
within the land public transport space. It is hoped that this report will not only stimulate
critical thinking but also pave the way to implement cutting-edge sustainable practices.
If you have not participated in any of SPAD’s conferences or roundtables, this report will
give you a feel for the challenges within the industry. Should you be interested to
participate in the SPAD Academy Seminar Series in the future, we warmly welcome your
involvement and support.
Thank you.

Moving Together For Better Land Public Transport
INTEGRATED TRANSPORT AND SUSTAINABLE URBANISM IN ASIA
53% of the population currently live in urban areas and by 2050 this number is
expected to reach 67%. In addition, 64% of all travel made today is within urban
environments and the total amount of urban kilometres travelled is expected to
triple by 2050 1. This will put a huge strain on infrastructure and the environment
with urban mobility being one of the toughest challenges that cities face today.
Such an explosion in the growth of urban mobility systems will present new
challenges on a number of different fronts (see Figure 1).
Unsurprisingly, transportation has emerged as the top megacity 2 infrastructure
challenge by a large margin 3. Transport is also a top priority for investment and has
been found to be equally vital for a city’s competitiveness. In 2010, the global
investment in urban mobility amounted to €324 billion. By 2050 it is forecasted that
€829 billion a year will be required.
By 2025, worldwide transport-related greenhouse gas emissions will be 30% higher
than 2005 levels. Transport energy bills will also skyrocket and higher levels of
energy consumption could pose a threat to global energy security.
Increased demand for urban mobility translates to people’s mobility needs also
evolving. People’s travel habits are also changing, as is the mix of transport modes
and services offered to them. For example: increased demand for services,
convenience, speed and affordability as well as evolving customer expectations
towards individualisation and sustainability.
It is clear that going forward, transport providers will have to satisfy demand for
services that are increasingly convenient, fast and predictable. At the same time,
consumers are more concerned about the sustainability of their mode of travel and
some are prepared to sacrifice individual forms of transport in furtherance of that
cause.

64% of all travel made today is within urban
environments and the total amount of urban kilometres
travelled is expected to triple by 2050.
Business models are transforming with specialised players from other sectors
now assessing opportunities to play a role in the extended mobility ecosystem. All
this begs the question, what will the future business models of urban mobility be?
Whilst public transport stakeholders work hard to improve attractiveness, capacity
and efficiency of mobility systems, the challenge of delivering urban mobility to
cope with increasing demand will most certainly require massive investments in the
future. Faced with growing limitations of public financing, creative innovation and
approaches are required to ensure affordable and sustainable infrastructures and
systems are put in place.
It is against this backdrop that Suruhanjaya Pengangkutan Awam Darat (SPAD) or
the Malaysian Land Public Transport Commission convened the three day Land
Public Transport Symposium 2013.

SPAD’S STORY
SPAD is the main body responsible for public transportation matters and is directly
responsible for streamlining policies, central planning, regulation and enforcement.
Cognisant of the fact that Malaysia aspires for Kuala Lumpur to be one of the Top
20 liveable cities by 2020 and given that an efficient public transport system is one
of the key requisites for a liveable city, the Land Public Transport Symposium 2013
was an initiative of the SPAD Academy to provide an interactive platform to
exchange ideas, improve understanding and create awareness about topics and
issues which confront and challenge the existing land public transport ecosystem.
The SPAD Land Public Transport Symposium 2013 was also an initiative by SPAD
Academy to lead the way in ensuring that the best practices positively influence the
symbiotic relationship between transport, economic development and sustainable
urbanism.

the Land Public Transport Symposium 2013
Spread out over three days, the Land Public Transport Symposium 2013 comprised
of a Gala Dinner where industry awards were conferred, for the first time, to industry
players who had excelled.
The LPT Symposium 2013 conference was held in partnership with the 2nd New
Urbanism and Smart Transport Conference 2013 and attracted more than 420 international
delegates who listened to 20 international speakers from Malaysia, Japan,
Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Taiwan, Iran and Hong
Kong.

And finally, a roundtable was organized to explore innovative and creative ways of
funding public transport infrastructure which saw four international panellists
presenting their views to more than 50 senior Malaysian government officials.
Taking the lead in engaging with all stakeholders within the public transport
ecosystem, SPAD used the Land Public Transport Symposium 2013 as an opportunity
to reach out even further to explore creative new ways of defining sustainability
and new urbanism concepts, and seeing how these concepts could benefit the way
the Malaysian public transport system is conceived and implemented
THE OUTCOME FROM THE PROCEEDINGS
OF THE LAND PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYMPOSIUM 2013
With 70% of Malaysia’s 28 million population now living in urban
areas, and with the number expected to escalate to 75% by 2020,
traffic jams were ‘not something anyone relishes nor were ‘good
for quality of life’.
Opening the Land Public Transport Symposium 2013, SPAD Chairman, Tan Sri Dato’
Seri Syed Hamid bin Syed Jaafar Albar said SPAD was ‘trying to operationalise the
concept of integrated transport and sustainable urbanism’. He said the focus for
SPAD was how it would implement projects on the ground, particularly as the
touchstone was the people or ‘rakyat’. With 70% of Malaysia’s 28 million population
now living in urban areas, and with the number expected to escalate to 75% by
2020, traffic jams were ‘not something anyone relishes’ nor were ‘good for quality
of life’.

He shared that the challenge of implementing public transport in Malaysia may
seem easy in concept, but was actually difficult in practice. The target of the
National Land Public Transport Masterplan was for 40% modal share of public transport
in urban areas by 2030, with Greater Kuala Lumpur’s current modal share being
20%. With 1.8 million people in Malaysia depending on public transport for their
daily needs, this was ‘not an insignificant figure’ and it ‘shows the enormity of the
challenge’.
He shared that SPAD was aiming to bring about transformative change through the
building of infrastructures (MRT, BRT and LRT extensions), a bus transformation
programme, integrating of all public transport modes, improving service quality
and other ancillary measures such as integrated ticketing. He urged urban planners
to come up with urban designs that better support public transport because whilst
Transit Oriented Development was encouraged, this ‘should not be the only tool in
our toolbox’. These urban planners also had a critical role to play in ensuring public
transport was provided at a cheaper cost as this was what sustainable urbanism was
all about.
Following the official opening of the Land Public Transport Symposium 2013, more
than 20 presentations were delivered at the conference, with a roundtable the
following day focussed on the challenges and opportunities in financing public
transport projects. Many key themes emerged from the conference and roundtable,
and these can be summarised as follows.
Dr. Ken Welsh emphasises his point at the Land Public
Transport Symposium 2013 Roundtable.
A matter of opinion: Andrew Grant explains his view on
financing.
1. Public transport is at the heart of new urbanism and is definitely the way
forward for the future. There is growing global demand for public transport with
public transport being a clear natural integrator for urban mobility.

King Abdullah Financial District Station – an iconic station design in the Riyadh Metro Project.
One example is Saudi Arabia, which conceptualised the Metropolitan Development
Strategy for the Ar’Riyadh Region (MEDSTAR) in 1998, to govern Riyadh’s strategic
development, with expected high density development4 being served by public
transport. Even though Riyadh faces enormous sustainability challenges for a
major metropolitan area in the desert, public transport infrastructure on a
very large scale is being developed. Interestingly, social surveys found 83%
supported the idea of public transport, with increased demand actually coming
from women.
Public transport, especially rail, is also booming particularly in emerging cities.
82 cities in China are either building metros or building High Speed Rail connections
between cities, 16 Indian cities are building metros and for the first time,
Middle East cities are also building rail connections, with the Mecca-Medina
High Speed Rail link also currently underway.
2.
In most developing countries, funding for public transport infrastructure
projects still usually comes from the government, primarily due to socio-economic
considerations. Infrastructure projects are however funded occasionally without
government involvement or government guarantees, and funding would be
dependent on competent institutions being entrusted to deliver the project
with robust governance mechanisms and structures having been put in place.
However, with large scale projects sometimes being deemed too big to fail, a
government guarantee is taken as being implicitly given.
Tripartite investments to fund are not uncommon though, with the government,
private sector and multilateral funding usually being combined for large scale
infrastructure projects. Other sources of funds include banks (funding through
debt or equity), bonds or even taxes (eg: congestion charges, parking charges).
4 Estimated population of 8.5 million people by 2021 and 10 million by 2030.
8
The jury remains out though on whether there is enough money available to
fund public transport infrastructure projects. One argument is that governments
still need to step in to fund, whilst the counter argument runs that projects with
a viable economic proposition plus a strong governance framework will translate
into funding being made available.
The World Bank and ADB have always tended to focus on poverty eradication
and whilst they could be a source of funding, it remains untested. The European
Development Bank has however done infrastructure financing but not much has
been carried out in Asia.
Devising the right funding mix for public transport is a critical priority for cities
to ensure a project’s financial viability, particularly given that funding needs
are increasing significantly as well as rising quality expectations and the rising
cost of production factors. As fare revenues do not always evolve in line with
the costs of production factors and the with public debt crisis increasing
pressure on public resources, transport authorities and operators need to assess
opportunities to derive additional revenues from aggregation of third party
services and to perceive charges from indirect beneficiaries of public transport.
Monetising the positive externalities created by property infrastructure projects
will also further enhance a project. MTR in Hong Kong has done this extremely
successfully, with 7 out of the 10 most valuable buildings on earth being owned
by MTR.
3. Public transport is a complex web of multiple stakeholders and must be looked
at from a multiplicity of lenses.
The challenges that cities face cut across different functions, groups and agencies.
They are interconnected, highly complex issues with multiple stakeholders who
often have different perspectives on how and where to respond.

of multiple stakeholders and must
be looked at from a multiplicity of
lenses.

which was themed “Financing Public Transport Projects:
Challenges and Opportunities”.

Delivering public transport may even require new governance structures5 with
more efficient management.
When establishing sustainable urban policies, cities must develop a political
vision and objectives based on strategic alignment between all key public and
private stakeholders of the extended mobility ecosystem. Certainly, delivery
is tricky.
Now more than ever before, the buy-in
and support from stakeholders is
critical. By engaging stakeholders
when formulating solutions, this
promotes more social responsibility
and enhances cohesion.
The top-down approach is now being
replaced by the bottom-up approach,
with there being a clear paradigm shift
towards active community participation.
With the public participation engagement process now seeming to be the
norm rather than the exception, this
not only enhances social sustainability
but also provides more pressure on the
authorities to ensure environmental
sustainability.
Mr. Michael W. Cooper of HSBC Bank Malaysia gives his
presentation at the Land Public Transport Symposium
2013 Roundtable.

4. There is a need to create more liveable cities given the growing global demand
for more walking and transit city6 fabrics. With urban living dependant on land
use planning, urban design and transit system for a positive or negative
outcome, growth must be smart and the approach must be people-centric.
In Australia there is a decline in car use with the demand for public transport
growing, particularly in Perth and Melbourne. In Central London, traffic fell by
19% between 2000 and 2009. Singapore has also evolved into a tropical city
which is both liveable and walkable.
In a liveable city, the first and last mile is important because if that doesn’t
work, nothing else matters. Taking care of the captive users of public transport
is critical.
10
5 SPAD was specially set up in 2010 and merged the responsibilities of 13 different ministries and agencies, to focus solely on
developing public transport in Malaysia.
6 Definition of Transit City: medium density, mixed use and grid-based.
Participants take notes during the LPT Symposium
2013 Conference.
SPAD Member of Commission Professor Dr. Ahmad
Farhan Mohd Sadullah addresses the crowd at the LPT
Symposium 2013 Conference
In a liveable city, the first and last mile is
important because if that doesn’t work, nothing
else matters. Taking care of the captive users of
public transport is critical.
Compact development is also important, and this is where transit oriented
development (TOD) comes to the fore. Neighbourhoods with pedestrian and
cycling paths also see property values appreciate, which emphasises the
demand for more liveable cities.
Reducing traffic jams in an urban area leads to greater productivity and
ultimately, a city with a high quality of life will attract more investment and be
transformed into an engine of economic growth.
Why are the cities of the future evolving into walking and transit cities? First,
the price of oil has increased. Second, density in cities has also increased with
people moving back into the cities. Third, there is a cultural change amongst
the young who increasingly use public transport and cycle or walk more. Fourth,
it is economically more efficient to use public transport.
11
All these reasons beg the question: Is a
new urban form emerging?
Malaysia has targeted to develop Iskandar
Malaysia 7 into Malaysia’s first Smart City.
A Low Carbon Society Blueprint has been
developed (the first Low Carbon Blueprint
in Malaysia), targeting sustainable growth
with clear and concrete policies. Iskandar
Malaysia will develop a strong and
sustainable metropolis of international
standing with the ultimate aim being to
become a high income region with excellent
mobility and connectivity. Hard and soft
infrastructures are being put in place to
ensure a connected and informed
community with the sustainability agenda
not only focusing on economic development
but also the environment and equitable
wealth.
SPAD CEO Mohd Nur Ismal Kamal.

Sustainable urbanism should not only be
promoted more, but should be measured
with rating tools and score cards developed.
By charting the way infrastructure is
designed,
planned,
delivered
and
operated, the outcome is fundamentally
good for both the government and
community.
SPAD Member of Commission YBhg Dato’
Siow Kim Lun at the LPT Symposium 2013
Roundtable.

three times the size of Singapore.

These mechanisms should be bipartisan and neutral with an independently
verified process outcome. From there, one can start to build the threads of
sustainability issues upstream. By looking at smarter ways of delivering
projects, this not only facilitates innovation, but asks the questions: What can
we do better?
The Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia is one such body that
advances sustainability in infrastructure planning, procurement, delivery and
operations. Australia currently has more than AUD$2.4 billion in capital expenditure
of infrastructure projects adopting Infrastructure Sustainability ratings.
Participants of the Land Public Transport Symposium 2013 Conference.
6. It is possible for public transport to be financially sustainable and also benefit
the passenger. Japan Rail East (JR East) is a shining example of this with some
staggering statistics to show as proof.
JR East operates on 7,513km of train track, carries 17 million passengers a day
and runs 13,000 trains a day. In 2013 it had revenues of US$28.4 billion with a
net income of US$1.8 billion. It has not raised fares for the last 27 years and
does not receive any subsidies from the
government.

The frequency of the Shinkansen is every 4 minutes and the conventional line,
every 2 minutes. The average delay for Shinkansen is 36 seconds. Its stations are
handicapped friendly, even in stations which are 140 year old.
SPAD Chairman Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Syed Hamid, (centre) SPAD Chief Executive Officer Mohd Nur Ismal Kamal (left) and
SPAD Chief Development Officer Azmi Aziz (right) share a laugh during the Land Public Transport Symposium Roundtable.
JR East controls the entire rail supply chain, including energy and rolling stock,
and does not focus solely on transport for revenue. 2/3 of its revenue comes
from the transport sector and the balance of 1/3 is derived from owned and
operated businesses such as hotels, retail and office buildings.
JR East’s success can be attributed to the fact that it is constantly innovating with cost
reductions taking place due to the emphasis on the utilisation of systemisation
and ICT. Focus is also always on passenger convenience and comfort as well as
on its employees, with training and motivating the employees’ mindset taking
place daily.
JR East shows public transport operators can actually improve the quality of life
for the people, with public transport innovation being supported by sustainable
innovation.
8 Shinkansen is the name for the Japanese high speed trains.

7. There are many tools available to make sustainable urbanism a reality, with
ICT being an important enabler. Urban planners cannot ignore technology and
instead must embrace it, intelligently. Apps, technologies and systems are
becoming more and more affordable and easy to use and with 4 billion of the
world’s population using mobile phones, this can definitely be leveraged on to
find solutions for public transport.
Greeting the participants at the LPT Symposium 2013 Conference. From left: SPAD Chief Executive Officer Mohd Nur
Ismal Kamal, SPAD Chief Development Officer Azmi Abdul Aziz, Inspector General of the Royal Malaysian Police Tan
Sri Dato’ Sri Khalid bin Abu Bakar, Smart Vision International Managing Director Dr. Ghassan Daban, and SPAD
Chairman Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Syed Hamid bin Syed Jaafar Albar.
Urban planners cannot ignore technology and
instead must embrace it, intelligently.
With security and safety being a priority for public transport users, tools can be
used to analyse and understand scenarios, resulting in improved efficiency in a
futuristic integrated public transport system.
Cities should move from simply ‘delivering transport’ to ‘delivering solutions’. This
transformation can be achieved through a combination of quality improvements
to the current public transport offering and an increase of customer experience
via service offering extensions.
However any plan that incorporates technology in the urban environment must
have the flexibility to change as the technology changes. Otherwise, locking
into a particular technological pathway is a recipe for rigidity and ultimately
obsolescence.
15
CONCLUSION
Mobility has significantly evolved in the last 200 years, under the influence of industrial
revolutions, from the evolution of steam powered technology of the railway industry,
to the automobile industry to digitalisation enabling the emergence of computer-aided
technology, with the focus now being firmly focussed on development of public
transport.
Tackling the challenges of urban mobility is a constant and
shaping the ecosystems we live, work and play in will continue
to be demanding and exciting.
Today’s world requires a complete metamorphosis requiring total reinvention and
transformation of how we plan travel in light of sustainability principles within new
and future urban forms. Tackling the challenges of urban mobility is a constant and
shaping the ecosystems we live, work and play in will continue to be demanding and
exciting.
It is clear though that cities do not assume tomorrow will be like today. Pre-emptive
measures and steps are being taken to face the challenges and opportunities of the
future. Governments are more dynamic and responsive, and if they aren’t already,
they need to be because the days of government knows best are long gone. Civil
society is now more demanding than ever and not only are they expecting good
governance, but also good quality infrastructures and services. It would be foolish
to underestimate the psyche and mindset of consumers and it is important to plan
how their daily lives can be made smoother, and this would be via the use of apps,
smartcards and the like.

A shift from ‘delivering transport’ to
‘delivering solutions’
However with cities in many emerging economies developing at a very fast pace,
the pressures of urbanisation puts a strain on infrastructure and basic services,
transport included. With mass transit being favoured more and more, there is no
doubt that the pace of growth in many cities makes delivering sustainable solutions
a huge challenge.
As cities have their own unique issues and challenges to address and with their
stakeholders placing more and more importance on environmental considerations,
attempts are being made to carve out creative solutions which are not only sustainable
but also affordable.
Public financing for public transport infrastructure projects remains a challenge
though and with public transport stakeholders struggling to improve the attractiveness,
capacity and efficiency of public transport, system innovation may be the only
answer. This will require a shift from ‘delivering transport’ to ‘delivering
solutions’, and can be achieved through a combination of quality improvements to
the current public transport offering.
Technological expertise, intelligent financing and strategic planning are key
components to making a major city a more pleasant place to live in. However as the
world becomes more urbanised, despite the best intentions, there will always be a
segment of society that will be marginalised, and so it is critical that governments
of the day address this issue of poverty amongst the urban poor. Election results in
cities worldwide are reflecting the harsh truth that if governments of the day do
not do so, they can and usually do fall.
However, when push comes to shove, will ecological considerations be sacrificed in
the race for economic growth? Can stakeholders’ desire to deliver greener and
more sustainable solutions be reconciled with the urgent and sometimes frantic
need for economies to maintain the momentum of development? Could economy
and ecology actually be incongruous in emerging economies? Are urban development,
environmental protection and quality of life for all citizens then contradictory
goals?
And finally, is sustainable urbanism a fallacy or a possible reality?
