Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd chief operating officer Abdul Hadi Amran in an announcement earlier said the standard operating procedures (SOPs) by the Transport Ministry allowed a 100% functional capacity of passengers on all rail services, except ETS and KTM Intercity. This would mean will be no more social distancing measures on Rapid KL trains and stations.

"Starting June 10 under the recovery MCO, the LRT Kelana Jaya line, LRT Ampang/Sri Petaling, MRT Sungai Buloh - Kajang line and Monorail line, which are managed by Rapid KL, will end the social distancing rules onboard the trains” he added.

Rapid Rail is expected to be able to increase the number of passengers back to 750,000 daily, as compared to 200,000 daily under the conditional MCO.

However, this does not mean that no measures will be enforced to ensure everyone’s safety. In fact, safety and health procedures such as body temperature checks on staff and passengers, compulsory wearing of face masks and usage of hand sanitiser will continue to be in place. Public are also encouraged to go cashless , as well as download the MySejahtera app for contact tracing purposes.

Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd has now reversed its decision, said it will adhere to the government's decision to continue social distancing measures in the LRT, MRT and Monorail.

"This policy will be implemented until a new decision has been made by the government”. Said the firm.

Together we shall overcome the pandemic by following the new S.O.P and practice good hygiene!

From all of us at RAAGA, stay safe!
