Cycling in Urban Malaysia: Air Quality as a Barrier
For many urban people in Malaysia, the daily commute is a test of endurance, patience, time, and increasingly, air quality.
As a member of Bike Commute Malaysia and the Penang Transport User Association, cycling and walking are often sidelined in national transport planning.
My own cycle commute covers about 12km each way from Taman Desa to KLCC, passing through several areas.
- Old Klang Road
- Mid Valley
- River of Life
- KL Sentral
- Pasar Seni
- Kota Raya
- Raja Chulan Road
Malaysia's transport future depends on tackling air pollution.
