KUALA LUMPUR: The Putrajaya mass transit train (MRT) line is facing disruptions due to ongoing signal system upgrade works.
Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd (Rapid Rail), in a statement on Saturday (Oct 25), said its technical and engineering teams are working diligently to restore operations as soon as possible.
“To facilitate passenger travel, 40 free shuttle buses have been mobilised between the Kwasa Damansara Station and Putrajaya Sentral,” the statement said.
Rapid Rail also recommended passengers to use alternative services, such as the Ampang/Sri Petaling Line or Monorail for those at the Titiwangsa MRT Station, and the Kelana Jaya Line for passengers at the Ampang Park and Persiaran KLCC MRT Stations.
Meanwhile, passengers at the TRX MRT Station are encouraged to use the Kajang Line, while those at the Chan Sow Lin and Sungai Besi MRT Stations can take the Ampang/Sri Petaling Line.
Rapid Rail said passengers heading to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) are advised to take the Ampang/Sri Petaling Line to Bandar Tasik Selatan Station before boarding the Express Rail Link (ERL) from Terminal Bersepadu Selatan to the airport.
Those in the city centre can continue to use the ERL service from KL Sentral to the KLIA Terminal.
For the time being, trains will be manually operated between Kwasa Damansara Station to Putrajaya Sentral and will stop longer at each station to ensure safety and smooth travel.
“As a precautionary measure, auxiliary police personnel and station staff are on duty at the platforms and concourses to assist passengers,” it added.
Rapid Rail apologised for any inconvenience caused and advised passengers to refer to Rapid KL’s social media pages for more information and to stay up to date on any developments. – Bernama
