Passengers on the LRT Shah Alam line to start paying fares tomorrow

 The LRT3 free travel period ends today, says rail operator Rapid KL.

Rapid KL advised passengers to be prepared for their journeys by ensuring their fare cards have at least RM5 and checking fare rates via the official MyRapid website.

PETALING JAYA:

After six weeks of free travel, passengers on the LRT Shah Alam line (LRT3) will start paying for their rides from tomorrow.

Rapid KL said fares will also apply to the shuttle bus service and the Park N’ Ride facility.

“This marks another important phase in the operation of the Shah Alam line following the six-week free travel period, which was well received by the public.

“Rapid KL would like to express its gratitude to all users for their support, trust and willingness to choose public transport during this period,” the rail operator said in a statement.

Rapid KL advised passengers to prepare for their journeys by ensuring their fare cards have at least RM5 and to check on the fares on the official MyRapid website.

“Concession fares are also available for students, senior citizens and persons with disabilities via the MyRapid concession cards,” it said.

Rapid KL previously extended its free travel period on the LRT3 until today to give commuters more time to acclimatise to the new transport network linking Shah Alam, Petaling Jaya and Klang.

Comprising 20 operational stations, the line connects Bandar Utama in Petaling Jaya to Johan Setia in Klang and links with the MRT Kajang line at Bandar Utama and the LRT Kelana Jaya line at Glenmarie. - FMT
