"Currently, Rapid Bus provides a total of 83 buses to accommodate the high number of passengers. More than 120 buses are mobilised is to accommodate passengers on five routes as posted on Rapid KL's social media," he said.

Wee also said he would visit the operation control centre (OCC) of the Kelana Jaya Line LRT after technical experts from the Thales Group in Canada and Singapore arrived in Malaysia today to conduct an inspection at Prasarana Malaysia Berhad (Prasarana) OCC.

"I will get more details about the problem after the Thales experts have done their inspection. I will inform you about the development on this matter from time to time.

"We would like to thank members of the public for their patience and will do our best to solve this problem as soon as possible," he said.
