They want the services to be restored immediately as prices of e-hailing services skyrocket due to the sudden surge in demand.
PH Petaling Jaya candidate Lee Chean Chung on his Facebook said he will be holding a press conference tomorrow to give suggestions on ways to improve the system.
“I was notified that the public transport LRT service is delayed again during peak hours.
“A while ago I was at the Subang LRT to review the latest situation. Many people are stuck, I ask for patience and hope that LRT Rapid can take immediate action,” he said on his Facebook.

A Twitter user @hariz_amirul94 said that the issue occurred two days in a row this week and none of the political parties proposed the motion to fix the problem in their manifestos.
“Two days in a row this week LRT Kelana Jaya face this issue and yet based on my reading in this election all parties @barisanasional @pakatanharapan_ @PerikatanM @PejuangRasmi has yet to propose a solution to this in their manifesto.
Another Twitter user @BernardGT urged Pakatan Harapan (PH) to look into the matter if they win the 15th General Election (GE15).
“If @pakatanharapan_ government wins this Nov 19, please look into the matter and solve it. The LRT Kelana Jaya line has caused a problem today and I am still not home yet. Grab is expensive now. CC @anthonyloke @rafiziramli @anwaribrahim @syahredzan,” he said on his Twitter.
Meanwhile, user @tyunfm said none of the ministers have addressed the issue due to being ‘busy’.
“None of the ministers have addressed the issue of some unsuccessful LRT stations that had to be closed today.
“It seems everyone is busy campaigning for the election to the point of neglecting the welfare and safety of the people. May God reward all the ministers for their good service. you guys are the best!,” the user said.
User @emeldawrites expressed her frustration over the technical malfunction at LRT Kelana Jaya saying that she is tired with the problem recurrence of the station.
“So much for the name "Rapid KL" So not rapid and unproductive you scumbags. Day in and day out every single time the Kelana Jaya LRT line is disrupted. Do something lah! @AskRapidKL Irritating to the core with shitty service like this,” she tweeted.
Many social media users also seemed to be asking Rapid KL if the services would be fully restored tomorrow because they needed to plan their trips if the services were still disrupted.
Earlier today, LRT services between Kelana Jaya and Ampang Jaya stations were terminated from 11pm tonight due to technical issues, affecting 16 stops along the way.
Rapid KL in its Twitter account has encouraged passengers to use free feeder bus services up until 12.30am tonight to help the passengers reach their destinations.
