KUALA LUMPUR - Technical disruptions of the Kajang Line Mass Transit (MRT) services today were due to low air pressure causing the train to stop and the emergency braking system to be activated automatically.

Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd (Rapid Rail) in a statement today said the first disruption involved a technical problem at the Pasar Seni MRT Station at 5.24pm.

It said Rapid Rail’s engineering team managed to fix the issue at 6.49pm, following which the frequency of the services was adjusted in stages at 7.10pm.

Ten feeder buses were provided for free between Muzium Negara MRT Station and Maluri MRT Station and an alternative route to facilitate the journey of affected passengers was activated, it said.
