The TBM, codenamed TBM 774, was launched in September 2019 from Conlay MRT Station site and excavated a section of the MRT tunnel beneath Jalan Stonor, Persiaran KLCC, Jalan Binjai and Jalan Ampang as well as the LRT Kelana Jaya Line tunnels to the Ampang Park MRT Station site, a distance of 917 metres. The breakthrough – where a TBM completes its excavation work and bores through the wall and breaks into a station box or shaft – was witnessed by Datuk Mohd Zarif Hashim, the newly appointed Chief Executive Officer of Mass Rapid Transit Corporation Sdn Bhd (MRT Corp). “We congratulate MMC Gamuda for the TBM breakthrough today. This is a major milestone for the project,” he said during the event. He added that today’s breakthrough also showed that the project was able to achieve good progress despite the Covid-19 pandemic.

  • Service Disruption on Mrt Kajang Line Due to Signalling Problems
    MEDIA STATEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SERVICE DISRUPTION ON MRT KAJANG LINE DUE TO SIGNALLING PROBLEMS KUALA LUMPUR, 16 August 2021- MRT Kajang Line is experiencing a service disruption due to signalling problems that were detected at 9.15am today that caused all trains that were in operations along the MRT Kajang Line to be held at platforms along its entire alignment starting from MRT Sungai Buloh Station to MRT Kajang Station. “The signalling problems are believed due to a technical issue and Rapid KL’s Engineering Department, together with BT Alstom who is the system’s manufacturer and Mass Rapid Transit Corporation Sdn Bhd (MRT Corp), are working to resolve this so that MRT Kajang Line could operate normally as soon as possible,” said a statement issued by the rail operator today. When the signalling problems were detected, all trains that were in operations switched to manual mode and were driven by Transit Officers to the nearest station, at a speed of not more than 25km/hour. Passengers were advised to disembark and take alternative transport in order to continue with their journey. Then, MRT Kajang Line suspended its operations from 11.15am to 3.45pm to allow for diagnostic work and full system reboot to be performed. It has since resumed operations at 3.45pm in revised service mode. “We deeply regret the inconvenience and would like to apologise to our passengers for this service disruption. For the safety of all involved, MRT Kajang Line is currently operating on revised service mode where trains would be moving slower and dwelling at platforms longer,” it added.

In Malaysia, the problem issues are related to traffic congestion and many user cars on the roadway in daily lives. One alternative mode of using a rail network is commuter, LRT, Monorail, MRT and ETS. Therefore, the Geographic Information System (GIS) technology is then used to map and produce the railway networks history and developments in urban public transportation (UPT). The goal of this research is to identify the heatmap trends of the Klang Valley railway stations which included Kuala Lumpur as urban public transport sectors. It was based on the OSM image layer from the year 1990 to 2019 and studied the growth of railway networks through a polyline pattern analysis.

  • Passenger Rail Primer
    Passenger Rail Primer Thurston Passenger Rail Workgroup November 2005 Passenger Rail Characteristics This document is intended as a primer introducing and familiarizing the reader with the basic definitions of passenger rail and providing a comparison of common transit services in 2005. It was developed to facilitate a discussion of passenger rail and other transit options in the Thurston Region, in preparation of a regional rail plan. In the next section, Passenger Rail Overview, the fundamental characteristics of light rail, commuter rail and intercity rail are covered. Complementary and Alternative Transit Options (primarily common bus transit choices) provides a wider transit context within which the passenger rail modes coordinate and compete. After investigating transit options individually, they are compared and contrasted in a chart of their characteristics, Summarizing the Continuum of Services. Other Rail Transit Technologies provides a brief overview of less extensively used rail options and the Appendices provide additional details and information. Additional resources the reader may want to consult include: • The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) website at www.apta.com • The Victoria Transportation Policy Institute (VTPI) website at www.vtpi.org • Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) website at www.bts.gov Passenger Rail Overview Introduction Passenger rail modes may be distinguished from one another based on a variety of characteristics – level of service, technology, right-of-way and operations. These characteristics are discussed in more detail in the other sections of this chapter. Like other transit services, however, in the most basic sense passenger rail modes break down by three distinct geographies – local, regional, and statewide or interstate.
