KUALA LUMPUR - Commuters can look forward to better service when
four new KTM Berhad six-car-set (SCS) trains are launched by Deputy Prime
Minister Tan Sri Muhiyiddin Yassin at KL Sentral tomorrow.
KTMB corporate communications senior manager Mohd Fazil Ismail said the
improved trains were part of the sixth National Key Result Areas (NKRA)
initiative to enhance the urban public transportation system.
The government had allocated RM2 billion to KTMB to improve its
services under the NKRA.
"We expect to cut down intervals between each trip to 10 minutes
when all the 38 new SCSs are operational by June.
"SCS can also accommodate 1,100 passengers, twice the present capacity,"
said Fazil yesterday.
With additional features in the SCS, commuters can expect a more
comfortable and safe ride.
The trains feature closed-circuit television cameras, two additional
coaches for female passengers, three rows of hand rails for standing passengers
and a better-designed sitting area for the disabled.
