[edit] Number of passengers

Please determine how many "penumpang" is allowed on a traing and add the number to the paragraph if anyone cares...kindly delete this entry once that is added. --Malbear 02:51, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Cite references

What's the source with regards to the extensions/new lines? Painkille 16:13, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I added a citation for that section.--MrFishGo Fish 20:17, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sponsors?

I think the sponsors area is too much of an advertisement. I think we should delete that part. Tkuok shern 06:33, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Somehow I agree with you. --Bukhrin 08:39, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Titiwangsa stations

The Titiwangsa KL Monorail station and Sri Petaling and Ampang Line stations are next to each other and are almost at the same elevated level. However, pedestrian access between both stations require pedestrians to descend to the road level below before entering the other station.

I insist that this is not valid anymore because I've passed by the site of the two stations a few times and noticed that there is a bridge link between the stations. I have pictorial evidence at http://farm1.static.flickr.com/169/384192800_a3adb9bcd1_b.jpg — notice the bridge at the right of this picture of the LRT station. Though out of scope I know that the Monorail station is next to the LRT station in scope. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.176.147.72 (talk) 05:53, 12 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Inconsistent

It is currently described as both a "critical component" of the network, and "just for joyriding". Can't be both, can it? The tone of this article is snippy, which I don't think an encyclopedia need be. Some of the criticisms are naive at best - no doubt some of the supports are not entirely convenient, but there was a city in the way when it was built!. Likewise the positioning of the stations is not a free choice for planners or builders. Midgley 12:01, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:OR

The Criticisms section does not cite sources, and I suspect that not all the information has a source. Comments?--MrFishGo Fish 17:20, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rename as "KL Monorail"

Based on their website, the official name of the monorail is "KL Monorail", not "Kuala Lumpur Monorail". The article should thus be moved. Jpatokal 11:34, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Agree... it should be moved. MS wikipedia has moved the article to KL Monorail aswell....--Zack2007 12:43, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
