Rail reliability up 64% to one disruption/half-million km

Prasarana has said that the reliability of its rail services have improved, charting a 0.54 million mean kilometres between failures (MKBF) and 24 disruptions as of July 2025 (versus 2024’s 0.33 million km/71 disruptions and 2023’s 0.16 million km/118 disruptions), Bernama reports.

In a recent statement, Prasarana group president and CEO Amir Hamdan attributed this achievement to the hard work of all staff and various strategic initiatives, including the implementation of a Condition-Based Maintenance programme and the replacement of train and signalling system sub-components for the Kajang Line MRT.

“In addition, the company’s approach, such as several upgrade projects and special maintenance, also had a positive impact on system availability and reliability. Among these is the mid-life refurbishment project for trains on the Ampang Line,” he said.

MKBF was adopted as a key performance indicator in 2023. Prasarana’s target is one million for its trains by 2026’s second quarter. It plans to extend MKBF to its buses too.

While most dream of the future, Jonathan Tan dreams of the past, although he's never been there. Fantasises much too often about cruising down Treacher Road (Jalan Sultan Ismail) in a Triumph Stag that actually works, and hopes this stint here will snap him back to present reality.

    Now one wonders how the previous ex-transport minister despite getting the MRT back in 2017 yet it still fails during his tenure and then the LRT fiasco that needed foreigners to come solve his problem how wonderful is our whole system here.
