Klang Valley motorists spend over 580 hours a year stuck in traffic
KUALA LUMPUR: Klang Valley motorists are spending more than 580 hours a year stuck in traffic, costing them an estimated RM9,000 annually in vehicle maintenance and fuel expenses. According to Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia's (UKM) senior lecturer in transport engineering, Dr Ahmad Nazrul Hakimi Ibrahim, traffic congestion has become a pressing issue with wide-ranging consequences. "Based on recent findings, the average motorist spends about 135 minutes daily in traffic. This not only translates to fuel wastage — an estimated 2.6 litres per hour, costing RM11.99 a day — but also a significant loss in productivity," he was quoted as saying by Harian Metro. For a worker earning RM3,000 a month, this equates to roughly RM750 in lost productivity each month. Malaysia currently has the second-highest vehicle ownership rate in Asia, with 535 vehicles per 1,000 people, further compounding the congestion issue in urban centres like Klang Valley. Spending 580 hours a year in traffic is equivalent to motorists losing around 24 full days annually to congestion. Ahmad Nazrul said traffic congestion should no longer be viewed as merely a transportation problem. "It impacts public health, contributes to air pollution, induces emotional stress, and disrupts work-life balance. A more integrated and sustainable solution is urgently needed," he said. He recommended several long-term measures, including: Enhancing public transport systems and increasing accessibility, expanding flexible working hours and remote work options, and offering incentives for electric vehicles and carbon-based taxation. A recent study by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that remote work could reduce commuting time by up to 69 minutes a day, while improving worker productivity. Ahmad Nazrul also criticised proposals to phase out cars older than 15 years, saying such a policy could negatively affect lower-and middle-income groups (B40 and M40). "Many people still rely on older vehicles for their daily mobility. Instead of banning them, the government should consider periodic technical inspections and targeted subsidies to encourage greener practices," he said. He added that addressing traffic woes requires cross-sector collaboration, involving urban planners, policymakers, and the public. "It's not just about building more roads. It's about planning better cities, designing smarter transport systems, and shifting societal habits," he said.
