SEPANG: It is still too early to assess the effectiveness of the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) service in the Putrajaya route in reducing traffic congestion, said Transport Minister Anthony Loke.
This is because the congestion at peak hours is still critical, including on the MEX Highway, the Federal Highway, the Kuala Lumpur-Sungai Besi Highway, especially in the morning and evening, he said.
The Putrajaya MRT line was launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and began full operation on March 16. According to him, the number of passengers recorded during the first two weeks when operating for free was 100,000 per day. "We will take some time to increase the number of passengers, indeed in all rail services this is a normal thing which takes time," he said.
