MRT Co to operate mass rapid transit?

Azhar: 'I think that Prasarana already has a lot on its plate.'

In an unexpected turn of events, Mass Rapid Transit Corp Sdn Bhd (MRT Co) has expressed its interest in being the operator of the multi-billion ringgit mass rapid transit system instead of national infrastructure and urban rail operator, Syarikat Prasarana Negara Bhd.

This is line with the intention to promote healthy competition and deliver the best world class public rail transport services in the Klang Valley, says Mass Rapid Transit Corp Sdn Bhd (MRT Co) chief executive officer Datuk Wira Azhar Abdul Hamid.
