The Rapid KL express bus service from the LRT/MRT Pasar Seni and LRT KLCC stations out of the city centre during rush hours has been discontinued effective today, July 4. This was announced by the public transport operator on social media yesterday.
The free express bus started operations in mid-June to help ease congestion at KL city centre train stations during the evening rush hour. A week later, it was expanded to include the morning rush hour. One route was from LRT/MRT Pasar Seni to LRT Universiti at the Kg Kerinchi/Bangsar South area. The other was from LRT KLCC to LRT Wangsa Maju.
No reason was given for the discontinuation of the rush hour express bus, but it felt like a temporary stopgap measure to ease pressure on the LRT load when it was introduced, so perhaps the need for it is less now and Rapid KL’s regular rail and bus services is once again sufficient.

The traffic conditions in KL evening rush hour is now reduced by 40%.
20% perhaps are ehailing drivers who felt its not worth their time and energy to drive and rather went offline.
The other 20% were most probably those who ddint have anything to do with working in city centre and now decided they should.leave the city by 4pm so as not to get caught with the ones working 9-5 on KL.
Imagine you turn up in the morning and expected the bus to be there. Terminate immediately with no heads up to the consumer. And no explaination.
Wee wee.. is this the best you can do?
