SHAH ALAM – Commuters on the MRT Kajang Line are facing delays following a train disruption, with many expressing frustration over the situation.
Rapid KL said on its social media platforms said train services were delayed after a train became immobilised at the Muzium Negara Station due to a motor system fault.
“Repair works were being carried out to restore normal operations,” read the statement today.
The company added that trains at other stations were moving slower than usual and stopping longer at platforms.
Commuters took to Threads to voice their dissatisfaction and shared updates on the disruption.
One user, @s0ph.ea, commented, “It wouldn’t be normal if nothing went wrong. People are already tired after work, this is so annoying. Rapid KL, please do something.”
Another user, @aisyahahmatadam, said, “There was a blackout at Pasar Seni station earlier. It was sad to see elderly people and those carrying baby strollers or luggage having to use the stairs.”
User @farahinhayat described the situation as overcrowded, saying, “Pasar Seni station was extremely packed. It’s better to find alternatives if you don’t want to be stuck like sardines. I’ve given up on Kuala Lumpur’s public transport.”
Meanwhile, @erlinkhairt said, “How much longer will this take? It has already been quite a while,” while tagging Rapid KL.
The disruption added to commuter frustration during peak hours, with many calling for quicker response and better service reliability.
