PUTRAJAYA: Public transport users hoping for free train rides in conjunction with the opening of Phase 2 of the Putrajaya MRT line on Thursday will have to wait until that morning to know whether their wish will be fulfilled as the gesture may cost more than RM160mil.
“This matter is under the purview of the Prime Minister, you’ll have to wait,” said Datuk Mohd Zarif Mohd Hashim, CEO of Mass Rapid Transit Corporation Sdn Bhd , the MRT asset owner, in a media preview of the line at the Putrajaya Sentral MRT station here.
In June 2022, the government gave free rides on trains and buses operated by Prasarana Malaysia Bhd, along with KTM Komuter trains in the Klang Valley, for a month to mark the Phase 1 opening of the Putrajaya line from Kwasa Damansara to Kampung Batu. During the preview of the Phase 2 segment of the line yesterday, the media was shown the features of the Hospital Kuala Lumpur underground station, which is characterised by wide walkways, generous provision of walkalators, and properly built ramps for wheelchair users.
Another welcome feature is the removal of the underseat ambient lights seen on the Kajang MRT trainsets that cast a glare at passengers seated on the opposite side of the train car.
