Train breaks down on Kelana Jaya LRT line
RapidKL attributes the delay to a power outage at the Universiti station.
At Taman Jaya station, a train on the Kelana Jaya LRT line encountered a power outage, leaving it stranded on the tracks. A passenger recounted hearing a loud boom before the train came to a sudden stop, prompting several individuals to lose their balance and fall. Passengers were seen contacting RapidKL's emergency hotline for assistance.
The malfunctioning train remained stationary on the tracks for around 20 minutes before RapidKL personnel arrived to aid passengers in transferring to another train on the opposite side of the tracks. In a post on X, RapidKL announced the delay, explaining that a power outage at the Universiti station caused the train to come to a halt.
FMT has contacted RapidKL for further information. On June 30, a thin melted wire had caused a minor explosion at the Taman Jaya station, forcing the removal of the train from service and transferring passengers to another carriage. Earlier in July, a small explosion-like sound and sparks were reported when a train component came into contact with the power conductor along the Shah Alam line, with no injuries reported.
