  In Local News, Public Transport / By Danny Tan / 28 May 2025 10:05 am / 2 comments

  

  Manchester United is in town! The English football giants will take on the ASEAN All Stars in the Maybank Challenge Cup 2025 friendly match, a good chance for the Red Devils to lift a ‘trophy’ in what has been a wretched season where they finished 15th in the league and lost the Europa League final to Spurs, which means no European football next season.

  The match happens tonight (May 28) at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium, and it is anticipated that a large crowd will show up to watch their favourite team (not ASEAN All Stars). As usual with big football matches, Rapid KL will cater to fans with extended LRT operation hours.

  The rail operator says that LRT Ampang/Sri Petaling Line operations from the Bukit Jalil LRT station will be extended tonight till 12.30 am. The match kicks off at 8.45 pm. All connecting stations will also have extended hours.

  Rapid KL reminds riders to use Touch n Go cards and ensure that there’s sufficient credit. Fans from abroad can buy the MyCity Pass that offers unlimited rides on all Rapid KL rail and bus services – it’s great value at RM10 for one day, RM18 for two days and RM25 for three days (cheaper for Malaysians, enquire at train stations).

  MU fans, enjoy the match! Glory, glory!

• Rapid KL to ramp up trains for ASEAN Summit – some bus, Rapid KL On-Demand routes could suffer delays

  In Local News, Public Transport / By Jonathan James Tan / 21 May 2025 9:56 am / 0 comment

  

  The upcoming ASEAN Summit and its numerous road closures are sure to drive many to use public transport from May 23-27. Rapid KL will extend weekday peak times for its trains by one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening (from the normal 7.00-9.30 am and 5.00-7.30 pm, to 6.30-10.00 am and 4.30-8.00 pm) throughout said dates, and boost train frequency during the May 24-25 weekend.

  “If there is an increase in passengers, Rapid KL is prepared to increase the number of trains. A total of 400 additional staff have also been deployed at selected rail stations to help smoothen the movement of passengers and ASEAN delegations using public transport services,” Prasarana Malaysia said in a statement, adding that monitoring and operational control will also be ramped up.

  

  

  However, several bus and Rapid KL On-Demand (what the DRT vans are called now) routes could experience delays owing to the road closures. These are Route 402 (LRT Titiwangsa – LRT Maluri), Route 302 (LRT Titiwangsa – KLCC), Route 300 (Pandan Indah Hub – Lebuh Ampang), Route 303 (Taman Mulia Jaya – Lebuh Ampang) and Rapid KL On-Demand (Titiwangsa – Chow Kit Zone).

  “Bus users who wish to go to KLCC and surrounding areas are advised to use rail services to avoid traffic congestion,” the statement said, advising passengers to stay updated via Rapid KL’s social media channels and/or the Pulse app.

• All LRT stations to get platform doors, Smart CCTV

  In Local News, Public Transport / By Jonathan James Tan / 24 February 2025 1:57 pm / 7 comments

  

  Following the tragic death two days ago of a visually-impaired man who fell on to the LRT tracks and got run over by a train, transport minister Anthony Loke has said that Prasarana will install platform screen doors (PSD) and Smart CCTV at all LRT stations.

  “The ministry of transport is currently working closely with all relevant parties, especially Prasarana, to conduct a detailed investigation. I have instructed that the safety aspects at all train stations, especially facilities for the disabled, be reviewed and improved.

  “Prasarana will take several important steps to prevent such incidents from recurring. Smart CCTV that can detect risky behavior will be installed at stations. In the long term, Prasarana is planning to install PSDs throughout all LRT routes as an effort to strengthen passenger safety,” he said.

  

  “The safety and welfare of passengers is always our priority. The government is committed to ensuring a safer, more inclusive and user-friendly public transport system, for the benefit of all Malaysians,” he said, adding that passengers who require additional assistance, including the disabled, can contact Prasarana staff or the station’s auxiliary police to ensure their needs are given due attention.

  Among the organisations welcoming the move are the Society of the Blind in Malaysia (SBM) and OKU Sentral. According to SBM president Mohd Mustaza Mohd Zain, there have been to date at least 20 accidents involving the visually-impaired falling on to rail lines, including at KTM, LRT and monorail stations.

  “Providing platform screen doors at rail stations is important to prevent such incidents. Such mitigation facilities should be among the features that exist in the design of every rail station throughout Malaysia.

  

  “Furthermore, the number of platform screen doors should also be in line with the number of passenger carriage doors for the safety of the visually-impaired,” Mohd Mustaza said in a statement.

  “Safety risk reduction measures at rail stations cannot rely solely on technological elements. Prasarana and KTMB also need to ensure that control officers are on the platform to monitor and assist users, especially the visually-impaired.

  “The lack of officers at strategic locations such as on the platform is among the causes of continued accidents involving the disabled at rail stations,” he added.

• Prasarana targets one disruption/million km by 2026

  In Local News, Public Transport / By Jonathan James Tan / 17 January 2025 5:26 pm / 4 comments

  

  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.

• Record 1.5mil Rapid KL passengers on New Year’s Eve

  In Local News, Public Transport / By Jonathan James Tan / 2 January 2025 10:02 am / 0 comment

  

  Rapid KL recorded nearly 1.5 million passengers (1.27 million via rail, 207,266 via bus) on New Year’s Eve, its highest ever in a single day and 30% more than its daily average in 2024.

  “Rapid KL is very proud to have been able to meet the needs of users on that night and thus boost city residents’ confidence to choose public transport as their preferred mode of transport in 2025,” said Prasarana group president and CEO Mohd Azharuddin Mat Sah, also giving a shout-out to the nearly 3,000 front-liners who supported the operation until 3am on January 1.

  “The success of this large-scale operation proves that Rapid KL staff have high skills and competence as well as extensive experience in providing the best service to the people,” he said, adding that the Prasarana bus-and-rail brand worked closely with the police, event organisers and agencies to ensure smooth coordination.

  

  “A million thanks to all public transport users in the Klang Valley who have supported Rapid KL services throughout 2024. This record will serve as a springboard for Rapid KL to continue striving to provide more excellent and efficient services to all public transport users,” said Azharuddin.

  Rapid KL said in its statement that it will continue enhancing the public transport user experience, and among its new initiatives for 2025 are the procurement of new electric buses and Demand Responsive Transit vans, and the opening of the Shah Alam Line.

  Were you one of those users that night, going to (and returning from) countdowns in KLCC, TRX, Lalaport, Bukit Bintang, Pasar Seni, and Sunway? Feel free to share your experiences below.

• Coldplay Malaysia concert at Bukit Jalil National Stadium, Nov 22 – LRT operations extended till 1am

  In Local News, Public Transport / By Danny Tan / 21 November 2023 3:47 pm / 6 comments

  

  

  For one night only, Coldplay will perform live in Malaysia at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium. Many have been counting down the days to the Malaysian leg of the band’s Music Of The Spheres world tour, and there’s just one more day on the calendar to cross off – tomorrow is November 22.

  Needless to say, the Bukit Jalil National Stadium and surrounding areas will be congested, and that’s before factoring in the daily evening rain. So if you have tickets (lucky you!) but have not figured out how to get there yet, perhaps the LRT is a wise choice.

  As usual with big concerts and football matches, Rapid KL will cater to fans with extended LRT operation hours. The rail operator says that LRT Ampang/Sri Petaling Line operations from the Bukit Jalil LRT station will be extended tomorrow night till 1am (Nov 23).

  All connecting stations will also have extended hours. Rapid KL reminds riders to use Touch n Go cards and ensure that there’s sufficient credit. Enjoy the show!

  Malaysia will take on Kyrgyzstan in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying match tomorrow night (November 16) at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium, and it is anticipated that a large crowd will show up for the game, which doubles up as a 2027 AFC Asian Cup qualification match.

  As usual with big football matches, Rapid KL will cater to fans with extended LRT operation hours. The rail operator says that LRT Ampang/Sri Petaling Line operations from the Bukit Jalil LRT station will be extended tomorrow night till 12.30 am. The match kicks off at 9pm.

  All connecting stations will also have extended hours. Rapid KL reminds riders to use Touch n Go cards and ensure that there’s sufficient credit.

  As for the match itself, Harimau Malaya is currently ranked 137 in the world while the team from Central Asia is ranked 97, but midfielder Brendan Gan believes that the Group D opener is winnable, along with next week’s match against Taiwan.

  “We know we have two tough games coming up but they are winnable for us, we feel. We have to stay confident, believe in what the coaching staff have put forth for us and cross it when it comes to game time,” the Selangor captain said, reported by NST.

• Malaysia vs Tajikistan Merdeka Tournament football finals tonight – LRT Bukit Jalil operations extended

  In Local News, Public Transport / By Danny Tan / 17 October 2023 9:34 am / 1 comment

  

  Malaysia will take on Tajikistan in the Pesta Bola Merdeka (Merdeka Tournament) final tonight (October 17) at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium, and it is anticipated that a large crowd will show up for the friendly. As usual with big football matches, Rapid KL will cater to fans with extended LRT operation hours.

  The rail operator says that LRT Ampang/Sri Petaling Line operations from the Bukit Jalil LRT station will be extended tonight till 12.30 am. The match kicks off at 9pm. Aside from the extended hours, Rapid KL will deploy more trains to ferry departing fans after the match.

  The Merdeka Tournament is back after a hiatus – the last time we hosted the friendly tournament was in 2013. The first match last week saw Harimau Malaya beat India 4-2, but all the focus was on the quality of the Bukit Jalil National Stadium pitch, or the lack thereof.

  This will be Tajikistan’s first and only Merdeka Tournament 2023 match; the Central Asia country was supposed to open with a match with Palestine, but the latter pulled out due to the current situation in the Middle East.

• Blackpink Malaysia concert – Bukit Jalil LRT station operations extended until 1am

  In Local News, Public Transport / By Paul Tan / 4 March 2023 6:48 pm / 6 comments

  

  If you plan to attend the Blackpink Malaysia concert at 8pm today at Bukit Jalil National Stadium with public transport, you don’t need to worry about getting home as Rapid KL will be extending the Bukit Jalil LRT station operations until 1am. Interchange stations will also remain open to ensure that passengers can reach their final destination.

  The Blackpink concert is not the only thing happening in the vicinity of the Bukit Jalil LRT station today, as there’s also Axiata Arena host the Malam Bulan Bintang concert, featuring local legends Datuk Seri Siti Nurhaliza and Datuk M. Nasir.

  Not one, but two huge concerts at Bukit Jalil means the area will be a warzone. If you’re a BLINK – or more likely a chaperone considering this website’s audience, it’s wise to take the LRT. Riders are reminded to use Touch n Go cards, have enough credit in the cards, and wear masks in trains.

  Rapid KL has announced that the LRT Bukit Jalil station will have operations extended to 1am on March 4 (Saturday midnight). Interchange stations will also remain open to ensure that passengers can reach their final destination.
