RapidKL took to its social media platforms at about 8.45am to announce that the line was experiencing a delay, without elaborating.

In a later update at 9.15am, it said it was regulating the service at a normal speed, with train frequencies expected to be restored.

“Thank you for your patience and we apologise for the inconvenience caused,” it said, without elaborating on the incident.

One Twitter user, @Shahrul1289, claimed that one train on the Kelana Jaya line suddenly came to a halt, causing a few passengers to fall, including himself. “Please rectify this issue soonest possible,” he said.

In response, RapidKL apologised over the incident and said its staff had checked on the train. It also said no passengers sustained any injuries.

Other netizens cricitised this latest hiccup on the train line, with Facebook user Reese Ooi quipping that users were paying to travel, not to be delayed.

Others questioned why such issues were happening so frequently now and called for RapidKL to be penalised for the recurring issues.

“What’s going on? It’s been too frequent in the past few weeks. Everyone needs transport to be reliable to go to work,” said Jane Tan on Facebook.

This comes days after a brake caliper hydraulic leakage on a LRT train caused the disruption of the Kelana Jaya LRT line on Friday, affecting 22,100 passengers during the after-work rush hour.

That incident was also reportedly the third train failure on the LRT line in just over two weeks.
