TOD makes use of high-capacity, highly efficient mass transit systems such as heavy railway, streetcars and buses to achieve an efficient and sustainable urban development.…

growth would arrive at a common phenomenon of car-oriented transport nature and the common solution is to promote rail transport to mitigate the transport problem while implementing restrictions for vehicle access would help to reduce the usage of private cars. The discouragement of unnecessary private vehicle uses and promoting the use of public transport to minimise traffic congestion and roadside pollution is the objective of Transport Demand Management (TDM) (SUTP, 2011). The push and pull…
