Prasarana is targeting a Mean Kilometres Between Failure (MKBF) of one million for its trains by 2026’s second quarter, Bernama reports. That means an average of one disruption for every million kilometres the train travels.
“What is termed as disruption is when the train is stationary for more than five minutes. A more serious disruption is when the train does not move for more than 15 minutes. We may have reduced the number of disruptions (71 in 2024 versus 118 in 2023), but we are certainly far from satisfied.
“We want to further improve our performance. So, for this year, we aim to reduce the total number of disruptions from 71 to as minimum as possible. Hopefully, by 2026, our MKBF will reach one million km,” transport minister Anthony Loke said today when tabling the 2024 Prasarana Performance Report and 2025 plan.
“It means we do not want any disruptions in the one million kilometres travelled… when the train has travelled up to one million kilometres, then only there will be one disruption. It means a much lower frequency of disruption,” he added.
He also revealed that train operation efficiency – covering the Kelana Jaya and Ampang LRT lines, Kajang and Putrajaya MRT lines, and KL Monorail – improved by 33% in 2024, and that Prasarana is also targeting an average of 1.4 million train and bus passengers a day by December 2025 (a record 1.5 million was achieved on December 31, 2024).
“The average number of passengers using public transport under Rapid rose to 1.18 million per day in 2024 compared to 955,000 passengers in 2023, which is a 24% increase. In 2022, the figure was 681,000. This is a very positive impact and is almost back at the pre-COVID-19 levels in 2019. So, this is a proud achievement,” Loke said.
On revenue, Prasarana saw a modest 5% boost in 2024, driven mainly by the ridership increase. Loke said the company is looking into advertising, corporate sponsorship, station naming rights and land utilisation as additional revenue streams.
“Most importantly for Prasarana, moving forward is to ensure reliable service for the public. Only then will it give more confidence in using public transport,” he said, adding that new lines such as LRT3 Shah Alam would boost ridership.

Imagine if it’s still the previous transport guy probably he will ask some foreigners to solve his problem while he goes away somewhere.
Previous transport guy was Anthony Loke. Errr….
Then you must have no idea what is backdoor then.
“Prasarana targets one disruption/million km by 2026”
The target should be “Zero”!!
Any undesirable parameter or KPI that is being monitored should always be “Zero”
How did this management team come up with a one???
