“This represents a 24% increase compared to 2023, which recorded a daily average of 955,000 , transport minister Anthony Loke said. The increase in ridership was attributed to several initiatives towards improving the reliability of Prasarana’s buses and trains, as well as the full opening of the Putrajaya line in March 2023.
Improvements made last year included the addition of new trains in to the rail network, particularly for popular Kelana Jaya LRT line, and the increase in trains and service frequency was matched by the decrease in service disruptions when measured in mean kilometres between failure ; Any disruption longer than five minutes is logged, and MKBF is measured as the distance accrued by train services on the same line before the next disruption is logged. The longer the distance travelled before the next disruption happens, the greater the reliability of the line, and operators in nations such as Singapore and Hong Kong regularly achieve MKBF figures exceeding one million km,– all showed improvements except the Ampang line, which saw a drop in service reliability.
