Rapid KL, the operator of Kuala Lumpur’s LRT system, has commenced the installation of platform safety barriers at stations along the Kelana Jaya and Ampang/Sri Petaling lines. This initiative is part of Rapid KL's commitment to enhance passenger safety and the overall travel experience. The installation began on August 1, 2026, with Putra Heights station chosen as the pilot site for the project.
As of September 26, 85% of the installation work at this station had been completed, and it will serve as a benchmark for the subsequent rollout at other stations. Dr Prodyut Dutt, Prasarana Group Chief Operating Officer and acting Group President and Chief Executive Officer, emphasized that passenger safety remains a top priority.
The installation of these barriers aims to create a safer and more comfortable environment for commuters. The barriers will be phased in across the network, with the initial phase expected to be fully completed by mid-2027. Notably, five underground stations on the Kelana Jaya Line will not be included in the initial rollout. Rapid KL has not yet disclosed the exact number of stations that will receive the barriers under Phase 1 or the total number of stations covered by the wider initiative.
