An Investigation on Urban Circle Rail Transit: A Case Study on the Alignment of Mass Rapid Transit 3 (Circle Line)

Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) is one of the important components of the Greater Kuala Lumpur (KL) development plan. It consists of three line-systems and would be finally operated by Klang valley public transport system. These three lines are aligned on the concept of wheel and spoke pattern that encompa...
