Most of it was built within the last 25 years, one of the largest metro systems on the planet.

What is the progress of MRT3? Malaysia Boleh!

Open to questions for the next 3 hours about anything RapidKL (rail, bus, BRT, DRT etc) as I will attempt to ask them soon

Will try my best to raise them but whether if I can reveal what they say is another question…

Chaoyang Railway Station

The New World's Largest Subway System* Part 2 A continuation of my experiences with Beijing Subway openings in late 2024. Oh there is also a massive new high speed railway station thrown in there somewhere...

It is beautiful:

A suburban tramway in Toronto (Line 6) installed a similar tramway speed enforcement system in the name of "SaFeTy". This trend will slowly snuff out the viability of many tramways/LRT in N America. Video below not related.

Japanese zoning and incineration techology allows a multilevel warehouse and trash incinerator to be safely located in a inner city residential area.

Nagoya sends their regards to Tokyo.

Walking down the streets of Tokyo... Wait a minute.

The exanded station of Tokyo Metro Kasumigasiki, where a narrow center platform was converted into a set of two side platforms, has a big TTC Toronto Union Station Energy.

The Fukutoshin Line is a fascinating line, being one of the later generation of Japanese metro lines with passing loops for express services. As such stations such as Higashi-Shinjuku have double stacked island platforms to allow express trains to overtake local ones.

Tokyo Torch building is a monster under construction 385 m (1,263 ft) tall office tower. It will be Japan's tallest building upon completion. Japan's preference for large office floorplates means this 60 floor office tower yields over 5.8 million SQ ft of floor area.

I didn't they were not that good. (But don't tell anybody I said that.)

I found the promised land.

Don't forget building new public transport lines.

This private railway, the Kobu Railway, built the initial sections of the JR East Chuo Mainline in 1889 as a light railway. A far cry from the high capacity quad track urban railway it is today. This is Suidobashi Station (where my video above was taken) in the early 1900s.

A two track private light railway (basically a late 1800s LRT) became the busy quadruple track JR-Higashi Chuo Corridor we see today. Showing how continuous focused incremental upgrades over decades can really build out a system.

I guess this is the future YIMBYs want.

The two sides of Tokyo.

Tohoku Jukan Sen.

Peekaboo.

I guess this is the future YIMBYs want.

A bunch of Alphards idling as the respective "bosses" buy some things in Ginza? Hong Kong coded.

I was told elevated rail ruins neighbourhoods.

Maybe this is a sign for me to go somewhere...

The website for you to try:

In Manila the Yamanote Line roughly corresponds to the LRT-1 and MRT-3.

Jakarta, probably the world's biggest city, the Yamanote Line encircles most of central Jakarta and some of the Golden Triangle. Roughly mirrors the KAI commuter rail loop line.

Malaysia Boleh?
