Yesterday, transport minister Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong announced that the KJ line, which has been operating since 1998, is now undergoing a ‘mid-life refurbishment’. The RM800 million initiative involves maintenance, repair and overhaul of 28 sets of the Bombardier 818 train sets. The service will be receiving 19 new train sets in Q4 2023. There have been a couple of incidents and breakdowns of late, so this is timely.

Already inform so do plan your own journey well. Rapid has their PULSE tracking that helps with a trip planner so nobody should be that ignorant to say they dunno.
Their PULSE is not functional at all on my Android. Despite reporting the issue multiple times, it’s still not fixed. Oh is it my problem that I’m not using rich people iPhone?
The traffic will be at stand still most of the time then…
This is KJ LRT & MRT. What traffic you talking bro…
Please analyze the crowd during peak hours. 6 minutes interval is not able to accommodate the public, especially in the morning. Please relook into it.
