Rapid Rail Reports Record Ridership

May 31, 2024

Over a million passengers used the Klang Valley's LRT, MRT and Monorail services on Wednesday.  

According to Rapid Rail, this was its highest-ever number of passengers in a single day. 

It says it was due to several factors, including the introduction of additional trains for the Kelana Jaya and Kajang Lines.  

It was also due to the school holidays, and the organization of several large-scale events near rail stations on that day.
