LRT commuters heading home from the city centre are experiencing overcrowded coaches, especially in high traffic areas such as the Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) station. In the meantime, Kelana Jaya Line trains will alternately make a turnaround at the Ara Damansara Station during the morning and evening peak hours. “To-date, we are recording an additional 23,000 ridership per day with the opening of the 23 new stations,” he said. Following the completion of the Kelana Jaya and Sri Petaling LRT line extension projects, StarMetro reported on Tuesday that things were running smoothly from Asia Jaya and Taman Jaya LRT stations to the city centre during the morning peak hours, but not when commuters were returning from the city centre. At one point, commuters were forced to line up behind the ticket barriers in the underground station to avoid overcrowding.
