Rapid KL has activated alternative transit services after an unexpected technical fault caused major scheduling delays along the high traffic Kelana Jaya LRT line. Technical teams detected a trackside signaling anomaly between the KL Sentral and Pasar Seni stations early this morning, forcing trains to operate at a significantly reduced speed for safety reasons. Commuters faced extended waiting times during the peak Sunday travel window as engineers rushed to resolve the issue.

To minimize transit disruptions, Prasarana immediately deployed a fleet of free feeder buses to ferry affected passengers between the halted metropolitan stations. Station staff were also positioned at key turnstiles to manage the heavy crowds and assist travelers with alternative routing maps. Commuters are being actively advised to monitor Rapid KL’s official social media feeds for live updates regarding the ongoing track repairs.

The management officially expressed its deepest apologies to all affected commuters for the severe inconvenience caused to their weekend travel plans. Senior transport officials have promised a comprehensive technical investigation into the root cause of the recurring signaling glitch once normal operations resume. The transit operator expects full rail services to be completely restored by late this evening.
