This is again part of our continual efforts to transform the urban rail services in Malaysia. With additional capacity, the new four-car trains will ensure more comfort and less waiting time for passengers.”Prasarana said passengers would have a more pleasant journey with the new and enhanced features of these trains.“Apart from vibrant new signage, the additional new features include dynamic route map display to indicate direction of travel, previous and arrival station, and next station information. These two-car sets are inherited by Rapid Rail when Prasarana took over Putra LRT. So, these two-car sets have been operational since 1998 and due for mid-life refurbishment,” he said.He said that next married four-car trains would be delivered in stages between 2018 and 2020.“By the year 2020, Rapid KL LRT Kelana Jaya Line will be fully serviced by all four-car trains – 17 sets of married four-car sets, 35 sets of existing four-car sets, and 14 sets of new KLAV four-car trains. No more traveling on the two-car trains,” he said, adding that with these numbers, Rapid KL Kelana Jaya Line would be able to meet the requirement of providing services with a two-minute frequency.
