Prasarana adds 20 feeder buses to help LRT commuters

Prasarana Malaysia Bhd has added 20 free feeder buses for affected commuters following the closure of 16 LRT train stations between Kelana Jaya and Ampang Park.

It said in a statement that the number of feeder buses had now reached over 100 to accommodate passengers on five routes along LRT Line 1 (Ara Damansara station-Pasar Seni station); Line 2 (Ara Damansara station-Kelana Jaya station); Line 3 (Kelana Jaya station-Pasar Seni station); Line 4 (Pasar Seni station-Masjid Jamek station); and Line 5 (Masjid Jamek station-Dato’ Keramat station). 

It said the move was made following cooperation from Smart Selangor.

Prasarana will also station 80 personnel at the relevant stations to facilitate passenger movement, it added.

"Rapid Rail will provide free fares for each day of service disruption to Kelana Jaya Line LRT users.
 
"This will be implemented after the service is restored. Detailed information will be announced soon," it said.

It said the status of the Kelana Jaya line will be regularly updated on its social media channels and mass media.

The LRT service between the Kelana Jaya and Ampang Park stations has been suspended for seven days for passenger safety reasons and due to the time needed to identify the cause of the service disruption.
