Upon learning theplan from the Ipoh city authorities to add a new fleet of 200 buses and to build the Ipoh Sentral Transportation Hub (ISTH) in Bandar Meru Raya which sits in the northern fringes of the city, TRANSIT wishes to kindly suggest the Perak Public Transport Committee and the Ipoh City Council members to consider the suggestions within this proposal before going ahead with the RM188 million project.TRANSIT believes that transformation of Ipoh?s mass transit requires the support systems to be put in place first,rather than embarking on piece-meal solutions that may end up with the results similar to the RapidKL and RapidPenang initiatives.
Cities play a vital role in promoting economic grow th & prosperity. The development of cities largely
depends upon their physical, social & institutional infras tructure. In this context, the importance of intraurban transportation is paramount. There is a considerable evidence to demonstrate that the current mega trends in
transport are at odds with the imperative of maintaini ng ecological balance. Like world, India is becoming
increasingly urbanized in which the dynamics of popul ation growth, coupled with the current trends of
urbanization are highly debilitating. Current trends of urbanization as inspired by better quality of life, are
posing multiple stresses on our environment & human population. Coupled with rapid urbanization each city
consists of a no. of supporting systems. Transport or Transit Systems are one of them, which provide mobility,
flexibility & accessibility to urban people. The following paper, hence, deals with how the project can help to
improve the overall transport environment and further how the involvement of EIA can further benefit the
project.
