Rapid KL Adjusts Schedules For MRT, LRT, Monorail And Bus Services
For the benefit of those in the Klang Valley who use public transportation, Rapid KL has announced that it has made adjustments to the schedules of its MRT, LRT, Monorail and bus services. This revision follows the government moving Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and Putrajaya into Phase 2 of the National Recovery Plan. The new schedules will take effect 10 September 2021.
Train commuters can expect a shorter waiting period based on the new timetable. Commuters using the LRT Kelana Jaya Line and LRT Ampang / Sri Petaling Line can expect train services at 4 minute intervals during the weekday peak hours; 5 minute intervals for MRT Kajang Line and 10 minute intervals for Monorail, for the same periods. These wait intervals will lengthen during non-peak periods and weekends.
Additionally, Rapid KL has made adjustments to 23 bus trunk routes. These routes will continue to be monitored for ridership and more buses will be added if there is demand. Likewise, the train services will also be monitored.
The revised bus routes are:
Further, Rapid KL shared that 98% of its staff have received their vaccinations and targets to hit 100% vaccination rate by mid-September 2021. There are 2 PPVIN vaccination centres in Putra Heights LRT Station and Rapid Bus Complex in Cheras Selatan to help it achieve the target.
Rapid KL has also introduced additional COVID-19 prevention measures such as requiring all frontline staff to wear double masks when on duty, and putting screens in its buses to minimise contact with Bus Captains. For the safety of everyone, passengers also should keep their masks on and practice physical distancing. All Rapid KL trains and buses are sanitised at their depots before and after entering service, while the stations and common areas such as escalator railings and washrooms are cleaned and sanitised frequently.
