Ampang Line will become a feeder service to the Petaling Line, with fare for the full 37km journey set at RM3.50
KUALA LUMPUR: Trains will run directly from Sentul Timur to Putra Heights from tomorrow, without the need to change at Sri Petaling.
The LRT line will be officially known as the Petaling Line from tomorrow, light rail operator Prasarana Malaysia Berhad said in a statement today.
It said the full migration of its signalling system for the Sri Petaling-Ampang LRT will be completed at midnight tonight. Users will not need to switch trains at Sri Petaling to travel between Sentul Timur and Putra Heights terminus, where the Petaling line joins the Kelana Jaya line.
“From tomorrow, there will be no trips from Sentul Timur operating alternately with trains to Ampang when the new restructured Sri Petaling-Ampang route is implemented.
“With the new structuring, the Ampang Line involving short journeys to eight stations, including Ampang and Chan Sow Lin will be converted into a feeder service with passengers switching trains at the Chan Sow Lin station,” the statement said.
Prasarana said the fare for the full 37km journey between Sentul Timur and Putra Heights was only RM3.50 using the MyRapid SMART 30 package, or only RM2.40 for those using concession cards, such as senior citizens, students and the disabled.
The Sri Petaling route goes through 29 stations including Puchong, Kinrara, Sri Petaling, Bukit Jalil, Sungai Besi, Bandar Tasik Selatan, Cheras, Bandaraya and Sentul.
The journey takes 65 minutes.
