The announcement of 22km of covered walkways for KL surely sounds like good news. Protection from sun & rain is a fundamental part of good walkways, especially in tropical climates. After all, the 4 pillars of walkability are ✅Comfortable 👋Useful 🙋Safe 🤌Interesting. ⏩

Well done RapidKL 👏🏼👏🏼 If this happens on your watch, just open the fare gates so people can actually exit the station.

Train Delay: Kelana Jaya Line A train is being operated manually between Masjid Jamek and Pasar Seni stations due to a brake issue. Train movement at other stations is expected to be slower, with longer stops at platforms. Thank you.

LRT Kelana Jaya again has a 4 minute frequency. Did you know that this provides the user with a 25% reduction of capacity? This leads to congestion at stations and overcrowding on trains. The last time @askrapidkl advised a 3 minute frequency appears to be in August.
