Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd (Rapid Rail) today announced a significant milestone in Malaysian public transportation, whereby the ridership of its rail line recorded over 1 million passengers a day on 29 May. This is the highest number of passengers in Rapid Rail’s history.

Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook has announced that Prasarana Malaysia Berhad (Prasarana) will allocate RM50 million to fix and upgrade various facilities at monorail stations. He added that the work is expected to start as early as this October.

Looks like bus and trains users are in for a treat. Recently, Prasarana announced it will extend the peak hours for bus and rail services throughout this fasting month. So, what should you know about it?

RapidKL has clarified that customers using its services during the month-long free ride period will have to either use a Touch ‘n Go card or collect tokens at the respective station’s customer service office. This is because ticket vending machines in all of Rapid KL’s station will not be in service throughout the period.
