KUALA LUMPUR: KL Monorail's four-car trains, which have been grounded since May for safety enhancements, will be returning to service soon.
In a statement Tuesday, Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Datuk Zohari Sulaiman said that five four-car monorail train sets would be placed back on service in stages by year-end.
"Works to further enhance the safety features of the trains are ongoing. We are working hard to have the works completed as soon as possible, but strictly according to the work details highlighted.
"As the operator of the KL Monorail Line, Rapid Rail would like to express our sincere apologies to our customers for the inconvenience caused.
In the absence of the four-car train sets, Zohari said Rapid Rail has been deploying shuttle buses throughout the alignment to complement the operations of the two-car trains.
"We now have six sets of two-car trains in operation," he said, adding that train frequency is between eight and 15 minutes.
