Commuters may see a fare hike for LRT and Monorail from October 31, when the first leg of the Ampang Line\u2019s extension is opened.<\/p>\n

Tan Sri Syed Hamid Albar, chairman of the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) said the new fares would be applicable to Prasarana\u2019s railways and implied that these might be higher.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe public is interested to get the best service. (But) there is always the cost element.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut at the same time, we want to make sure it is not a burden to the rakyat<\/em>,\u201d he told The Star<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Prasana, the company that runs the LRT and Monorail lines, had requested, in July, for SPAD to increase the fares, as the prices had remained the same since 2002.<\/p>\n

Syed Hamid implied that the new fares would likely not affect other lines, such as the ERL and the KTM Komuter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is (for) the LRT and Monorail, those that are operated by Prasarana,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He did not elaborate when asked how much of a price hike it might be, adding that this would be \u201cpre-empting\u201d the gazetting of the new fares.<\/p>\n

Datuk Azmi Abdul Aziz, the managing director of the Prasarana group, said the first phase of the Ampang Line extension was 99.4% complete, with tests being carried out now.<\/p>\n

The first phase of the extension is expected to serve another 40,000 riders using the Ampang Line every day.<\/p>\n

Currently, the Ampang trains see some 195,000 commuters daily, while about 275,000 people take the Kelana Jaya Line every day.<\/p>\n

There will also be brand new six-car train sets running on the Ampang Line. The new train sets are capable of carrying up to 1,200 people at one time, Syed Hamid added.<\/p>\n

Seven more stations will be opened by March 31 on the full Ampang Line extension.<\/p>\n

Ending at Putra Heights, the line will link with the Kelana Jaya extension project, which is on track for a June 30 completion.<\/p>\n
