The transport minister says the number of train failures has been reduced from 177 in 2022 to 28 in 2025 and just 12 as of May 31 this year.
Excluding the monorail, Loke said there were 177 train failures in 2022, followed by 111 in 2023, 64 in 2024, 28 in 2025, and 12 so far this year.
He said there was also a measurement called the mean kilometre between failures (MKBF), which calculates a 12-month moving average distance a train can travel before experiencing delays more than five minutes long.
He said the MKBF stood at 0.09 in 2022, followed by 0.16 in 2023, 0.33 in 2024, 0.79 in 2025 and 0.93 so far this year.
“The latest MKBF reading as of May 31 shows a trend of improvement in overall performance compared with previous years,” he said, replying to Shaharizukirnain Abdul Kadir (PN-Setiu).
Loke added that this was the result of various initiatives by Rapid Rail to improve operational performance. “Nonetheless, this performance must still be improved as even one disruption can cause great inconvenience to users.”
He said Rapid Rail was carrying out a holistic mitigation plan to reduce service disruptions on the various LRT and MRT lines.
This includes short, medium and long-term measures, from replacing faulty components to holding special engineering programmes and procuring new trains.
“The implementation of this mitigation plan will continue to be monitored, evaluated and improved from time to time to ensure the public rail transport network remains safe, efficient and durable for the comfort of users.” - FMT
