PETALING JAYA: Commuters are facing a longer waiting time as train services for the Kajang MRT line have been disrupted by a malfunction of automatic doors.

RapidKL said the repair works for the automatic doors are ongoing and trains on the route from the Kajang station to the Merdeka station will take longer than usual.

“However, train services at other stations are running as usual. We apologise for any inconvenience caused,” said RapidKL on its website.

Commuters have taken to social media to complain about longer waiting times, with one posting on X (formerly known as Twitter) that the waiting time for the next train was 16 minutes.

Another user also complained on X that he couldn’t enter Pasar Seni station and posted a picture of a crowd.

Meanwhile, a user requested RapidKL to update the estimated waiting times but RapidKL only replied by saying “trains to Merdeka station are operated manually due to malfunction of automatic doors”.

Earlier on May 19, Kajang MRT line services were also disrupted due to technical problems with air pressure at the Pasar Seni station.

RapidKL then advised passengers to use other means of transport, including alternative train and bus services provided by the company. - FMT
