Commuters expecting women-only carriages on the newly opened LRT Shah Alam Line (LRT3) may have to wait a while longer.

Commenting on the proposal to introduce women-only zones, Prasarana President and Group Chief Executive Officer Amir Hamdan stated that the idea is still under review. He emphasised that any final decision will be based strictly on detailed study findings and passenger usage statistics.

Operational constraints of three-car trains

Amir explained that there are no immediate plans to allocate a specific carriage for women at this stage, as Prasarana first needs to assess genuine demand through commuter surveys and data analysis.

Strong start for the Shah Alam Line

According to Amir, operations have run smoothly since launch, with peak-hour train frequencies maintained at roughly eight-minute intervals and no major technical issues reported.

Continuous monitoring and future adjustments

Amir added that station facilities and services have remained entirely under control. The operator intends to monitor passenger travel patterns closely before introducing any operational improvements or adjusting train frequencies.

The initial surge in ridership over the coming days will serve as a benchmark to determine whether additional capacity is required.
