Smooth ride for eager commuters on first day

PETALING JAYA: It was a smooth and relatively quiet first day of operations for the Klang Valley MRT, with the project operator expecting a gradual rise in the number of commuters in the next two weeks.

There were no big crowds at some of the stations yesterday morning, although station officers at the Sg Buloh MRT station said that a small group had waited outside the station as early as 5.15am to try out the new trains.
