PETALING JAYA: Rapid KL has apologised to commuters after some 180 passengers on board its monorail train got stranded near the Bukit Nanas station on Thursday. In a statement on Friday (Jan 18), Rapid KL said the incident was due to a sudden power failure. The train stalled at 7.01pm after it was unable to get traction due to power loss. A rescue train was immediately dispatched to help evacuate the passengers on board the train. "Train-to-train evacuation was completed at 7.45pm and shuttle service using a single track was immediately commenced: One between KL Sentral and Bukit Bintang, and the other between Bukit Bintang and Titiwangsa,” said Rapid KL.
