RAPID Rail has said it will provide more shuttle buses between Sentul Timur and Bandaraya stations on the Ampang LRT line starting tomorrow to accommodate commuters.

The rail operator added that 15 shuttle buses will operate between the two stations at 10-minute intervals.

“The addition of this shuttle buses is to support trains running between Sentul Timur and Bandaraya stations every 24 minutes, starting Monday.

“The shuttle bus service, which was reactivated on Thursday, will stop at Sentul Timur, Sentul, Titiwangsa, PWTC, Sultan Ismail and Bandaraya,” Rapid Rail said.

Damage to the track and structure near Bandaraya is believed to have been caused by nearby construction works.

Following the initial report of damage, five trains could not return to the depot in Ampang for maintenance, resulting in just two operational trains servicing the line.

“The two trains will be used alternately from tomorrow to ensure they can continue to operate at an optimal level, thus avoiding full closure of the Sentul Timur and Bandaraya stations,” Rapid rail said. – Bernama, February 26, 2023.
