Under eight minutes just the start: Transport minister promises shorter wait time for LRT3 trains if Shah Alam crowds surge

KUALA LUMPUR, June 30 — Prasarana will gradually increase the frequency of trains operating along the LRT3 Line once the demand picks up and after the new batch of trains arrive, Transport Minister Anthony Loke said today.

He said the frequency of trains along the Shah Alam Line will be revised based on the trend of usage after it operates for one whole month.

“Currently, the frequency stands about 7.5 minutes at peak hours. If we see a rise in the usage, then we will revise the frequency accordingly,” he replied to reporters after launching a health and safety initiative here.

Many commuters had raised concerns about the eight-minute gap between trains during peak hours, claiming it was a long wait.

The LRT3 Shah Alam Line rolled out for public use last Sunday and will be free for one month.
