‘Failed train’ leaves long queues of workers on LRT Kelana Jaya line

 

The congestion at the Pasar Seni LRT station after RapidKL reported a ‘failed train’ on its Kelana Jaya line this morning.

PETALING JAYA: A “failed train” at the Taman Jaya LRT station heading towards Putra Heights resulted in numerous rail users faced with delays in the morning commute on the Kelana Jaya line.

“Trains will move slower and stop longer at platforms. Customers are advised to seek alternative transport,” said RapidKL in a tweet at 9.57am.

The news left netizens disappointed, with @thatsmyfullname suggesting that every station should have apology letters ready for workers to show their employers for being late for work.

“What a bad image for Malaysia’s public transport. Why no maintenance?” said @shenggui04.

Earlier, RapidKL said the “failed train” was being removed from service. About an hour later, it directed passengers at the Taman Jaya station to take the train at Platform 1 heading towards Putra Heights.

This came as the rail operator reported that another “failed train” on the Ampang/Sri Petaling line had been taken out of service yesterday evening, with service reported to be back to normal later in the day. - FMT
