The Transport Minister said work on the new line with 20 stations is progressing well.
He said work on the highly anticipated new line with 20 stations from Johan Setia in Klang to Bandar Utama in Petaling Jaya, is progressing well.
Once operational, the new trains would be able to travel up to 80kmph, enabling up to 18,630 passengers to reach their destinations in a timely manner every hour, said Loke, who added that passengers can switch to the Kelana Jaya LRT at Glenmarie, and to the Kajang MRT at Bandar Utama. “By providing them increased convenience and accessibility, this will hopefully encourage the increased adoption of public transport among residents in Klang and Shah Alam,” he said.
“I plan to bring it up at a Cabinet meeting soon, and it will be up to the Cabinet to approve as it will add additional costs to the already RM16bil project,” said Loke, who added that safety measures were already in place to ensure that construction of the five additional stations causes no disruption to trains that are already running after the line’s first phase launch covering the main 20 stations.
