“I have been informed that the LRT ridership are at almost 500,000 people per day, and this excludes the connectivity through the feeder buses. This is for the Sri Petaling & Ampang LRT line and the Kelana Jaya LRT line,” Johari said after officiating at the 20th anniversary of the LRT Ampang line.
