KUALA LUMPUR – The operation of the Kelana Jaya LRT service is experiencing delays due to a switch malfunction, resulting in all trains moving slowly and stopping for longer periods.

Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd said the first incident occurred at 4.24pm today, causing the train to be manually operated between the KL Sentral and Pasar Seni stations, adding that the technical team went to the location and repairs were completed at 5.20pm.

“The second disruption occurred between the Damak and Dato’ Keramat stations at 5.26pm. As of now, technical staff are actively carrying out repairs and will ensure normal operations resume immediately,” it said in a statement today.

To reduce congestion at the stations, free shuttle services will be provided between the KLCC, Ampang Park, Damai, Dato’ Keramat, Jelatek, and Setiawangsa stations.

Commuters are advised to plan their journeys as well as check Rapid KL’s social media to get the latest information. – Bernama, January 5, 2023
