The public transport system can help to reduce the rate of traffic in urban areas, at the same time it helps providing good transportation option for local and tourists. Following the opening of new additional stations/routes/trains (national railway system) there are still many users who do not know these new routes already available that can help them for their commute.
In this year 2016, several new routes rapid-KL service was introduced and it connects the two main stations that were previously separate stations namely Kelana Jaya and Sri Petaling Station. Now these routes have been connected through Putra Heights Station. It also opened new routes between the two stations.
