Number of passengers expected to increase with completion of LRT and MRT projects

A troupe from the Kok Hing Dragon & Lion Dance Association provided the fanfare for the occasion with a monkey and two prancing lions.

PRASARANA Malaysia Bhd is expecting to serve 1.5 million commuters each day by the middle of next year, said its president and group chief executive officer Datuk Azmi Abdul Aziz.

Speaking at a recent event to mark Prasarana hitting the one million mark, Azmi said the increase from the current one million commuters a day would come from the full completion of the LRT extension programme (LEP) that connects the Kelana Jaya and Ampang lines by this June, as well as the opening of the first phase of the Klang Valley MRT from Sungai Buloh to Semantan (12 stations) this December.
