kalau menurut saya jalan raya/jalan tol tetap perlu.tapi kereta api juga perlu.
sory kalau OOT,tapi look at malaysian,mereka ambisius sekali bangun jalan tol,jalan tol mereka bagus nan mulusss gak kayak cipularang yang dibangun asal-asalan dan berkali-kali amblesss.tapi mereka juga ambisius bangun railway mereka.bahkan mereka sudah bangun DOUBLE TRACK Rawang-Ipoh (179 km) terus mau ditambah lagi Ipoh-Padang Besar (near Thailand border = 329km!!) and it's not just double tracked but ELECTRIFIED also!!!!!
nah Indonesia????jalur yang electrified baru sebatas jabodetabek,itu aja pantografnya sering rusak/terputus.
belum lagi mereka akan segera punya THE LONGEST RAILWAY TUNNEL in SOUTH EAST ASIA !!!!
[spoiler=]Perak to have South-East AsiaÂ’s longest rail tunnel

IPOH: South East Asia's longest rail tunnel will be built in Perak as part of the RM12.5bil double tracking project from here to Padang Besar.
Announcing plans for its construction in northern Perak, Transport Minister Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy said the 3.3km-long Berapit Tunnel would be part of 329km-long double tracking project from here to Padang Besar.
"I would like to thank the Perak government for its full commitment in ensuring the smooth construction of the double tracking project," he said here Thursday after attending a briefing on the project with Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamad Tajol Rosli Ghazali.
Chan said cooperation from the state government was crucial in ensuring that the project would be built without any hitches.
He pointed out that the Perak government was asked to help resolve problems of squatters and land acquisition so that construction of the project would not be delayed.
"We need the state to help with the relocation of squatter families, surau (Muslim shrines), Hindu and Chinese temples," he said.
He added that the state government would need to help acquire 322ha of land in Perak which was in the way of the project.
The double tracking project from here to Padang Besar is made up of 171km from here to Butterworth and another 158km from Bukit Mertajam to Padang Besar, he said.
Perak, covering tracks measuring 133km long, would make up one of the longest stretch in the entire project, he added.
Chan said the Ipoh-Butterworth stretch would be given priority because it was a continuation of the completed stretch from Rawang to here.[/spoiler]
