“…Furthermore, a study was carried out by Ariffin and Zahari (2013) to analyse the implementation of policy and administration of urban transportation system in the Klang Valley, Malaysia. This area was chosen due to its phenomenal growth in the last two decades that affected the administration of its urban transportation system.…”

The UK Transport Act 2000 made a number of reforms, requiring all local transport authorities in England, outside of London, to produce a local transport plan (LTP). A separate annual delivery report was also required to show how the LTP was progressing, however this system of close monitoring was abandoned in 2008. This paper analyses and compares the LTP 2001-2006 and the LTP Delivery Report for three UK cities in order to obtain an insight into the importance of reporting in the implementation of local transport policy. Analysis of why some policies were not implemented successfully is based on the application of a new hybrid theory of policy implementation combining top-down and bottom-up perspectives. Findings reveal that the reporting process in the three case cities misses some key information which limits the ability of local authorities to monitor their policy implementation. Moreover, applying the hybrid theory reveals that even in cases of good reporting, some important elements needed to evaluate the implementation of transport policy are lacking. The paper provides recommendations for effective implementation and better decision making that will aid local authority staff.

This study involves the adoption of the Geographic Information System (GIS) modeling approach to determine the quickest routes for fresh vegetable delivery. During transport, fresh vegetables mainly deteriorate on account of temperature and delivery time. Nonetheless, little attention has been directed to transportation issues in most areas within Kuala Lumpur. In addition, perishable food normally has a short shelf life, thus timely delivery significantly affects delivery costs. Therefore, selecting efficient routes would consequently reduce the total transportation costs. The regression model is applied in this study to determine the parameters that affect route selection with respect to the fastest delivery of fresh vegetables. For the purpose of this research, ArcGIS software with network analyst extension is adopted to solve the problem of complex networks. The final output of this research is a map of quickest routes with the best delivery times based on all variables. The variables tested from regression analysis are the most effective parameters to make the flow of road networks slower. The objective is to improve the delivery services by achieving the least drive time. The main findings of this research are that Land use such as residential area and population as variables are the effective parameters on drive time.

“…However, the high use of cars in Malaysia has also led to problems of traffic congestion. For example, in Klang Valley area alone where 21% of the nation's population or about 4.8 million people live, about 84% of them are car owners (Ariffin & Zahari, 2013). As the result, problems of traffic congestion become more severe and this situation leads to wasted travelling time and costs, increased fuel consumption, air and noise pollution, and also elevated accident and fatality rates (Kasipillai & Chan, 2008).…”

Point-to-point travel refers to the trip taken from the initial departure point to the final destination point, which can be further categorized as either direct or non-direct. Direct point-to-point travel indicates that the trip is made with a single transportation mode from beginning until the person reaches the final destination. On the other hand, the non-direct type of point-to-point travel involves several modes of transportation throughout the journey. Comparison analysis is made between the available modes of domestic transportation such as buses, trains, commercial flights and cars to determine the preference and the market potential for direct point-to-point travel means. Several evaluation criteria including time on transport, time of waiting, cost of transport, cost of other expenses, travel comfort, flexibility of departure point and privacy are used in this study. Based on the result from case studies of domestic travel in Malaysia, it shows that direct point-to-point means of transportation represented by cars generally have higher benefits in comparison to other means of transportation, especially in terms of time and travel costs. This signifies a big potential in introducing a better means of direct point-to-point transportation than current cars like the dual-mode Personal Air Vehicle (PAVE) for domestic travel in Malaysia.
