KUALA LUMPUR: The frequency of the LRT, MRT and monorail trains will be reduced from tomorrow until the application of the conditional movement control order (CMCO) is lifted in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya.
Prasarana Malaysia (Prasarana) Group Operations Director Norlia Noah said the company had obtained permission from the Transport Ministry to offset the frequency of trains based on demand following the huge drop in passenger flow due to the CMCO.
“The LRT, MRT and Monorail services, however, will continue to operate from 6 am to midnight. The change is only in the frequency, according to the time and the demand ”, said today in a statement.
He said that the frequency of trains during rush hour (7 AM to 9 AM and 5 PM to 7 PM) for the LRT Ampang / Sri Petaling line is 2, 8 minutes, LRT Kelana Jaya line 3.5 minutes, monorail line 6.2 minutes, and MRT Kajang line four minutes.
Off-peak service (from 9 am to 5 pm and from 7 pm to 10 pm) For the LRT Ampang / Sri Petaling line is 5.8 minutes, the LRT Kelana Jaya line 9.3 minutes, monorail line 8.2 minutes and MRT Kajang line 9.9 minutes.
“The frequency that is set, however, is only a guide. The operation of the trains on all routes will be closely monitored by the Operations Control Center, which is authorized to add trains if necessary when there is an increase in demand at certain times, ”he said.
Norlia said that the frequency of the Rapid KL bus service and the Jom Naik MRT shuttle bus will also be reduced from tomorrow, also for the same reason.
“Rapid Bus, however, will continue to monitor the situation closely. We also encourage travelers to use the Google Maps / moovit app or use the bus location in myrapidbus.prasarana.com.my/kiosk so they can better plan their trip, “he added.
