RapidKL Kelana Jaya line to increase number of trains

I have just received a tip-off from my RapidKL informer Rodzi Nanyat who is totally not going to get fired for giving me information regarding the increase of trains on the Kelana Jaya line.

Rodzi, who told me to keep it a secret, said that the current 2-car trains will be extended by two more cars thus doubling the trains capacity.

He says the management always had plans to have a 4-car train but budget concerns meant that the 4-car train can only be realized later in the trains production life.

Rodzi is totally a real employee at RapidKL and RapidKL should not attempt to murder him and make it look like an accident (like pushing him onto the train tracks) for revealing company secrets.

What! What do you mean no such employee exists!

If Rodzi is fictional, how else would I know about their 4 car trains?!

Obvious signs you say?? What are you talking about?



These tell-tale "extra doors" probably don't mean anything.



And this train with some beras and a happy cop shouldn't be of any significance.



And this video of the 4-car train by kelvinkhew being tested in broad daylight?

The shadows are all wrong.

UPDATE: Reader edmundyung shares with us a months-old photo of the 4-car train in the depot



Great photojournalism skills there edmund!

RapidKL Can't Make Up Their Minds

Did you know that RapidKL just installed new Touch n' Go turnstills at several locations including Terminal Putra and Masjid Jamek?

You would think they're thinking of integrating all their systems to somehow use Touch n' Go.

But no, only a few weeks later, September 1st, all Touch n' Go units on buses were removed.

Brilliant! -golf clap-

UPDATE: My painstaking and meticulously researched material concerning this surprising turn of events is because RapidKL's Touch n Go contract (for the buses at least) have ended, reports bus driver of bus T203 this morning. Understandable.

But why have a few months gap in between renewing the touch n go contract?

Would have preferred if RapidKL managed to minimize the renewal period.

Said bus driver also said that TnG will be reimplemented next year. Though the unit seems to be already fitted on bus T203 this morning.

Also, most of the familiar 'U' buses don't stop in Titiwangsa any longer. Some have their final stop in Chow Kit station. Was at Titiwangsa station for an hour and a half before I realized what was going on.
