KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 9 — Former transport minister Anthony Loke today urged the caretaker government to buck up and resolve the crisis where 16 LRT stations have been shut down for seven days, offering simple tips such as renting buses from bus companies as a temporary measure.
Loke also said the caretaker government should increase the frequency and capacity of the KTM Komuter rail service as a temporary measure.
“If there are not enough buses, rent shuttle buses,” the DAP secretary-general who is contesting in Seremban told reporters here during Pakatan Harapan’s press conference below the now-shuttered Universiti LRT station.
Loke said the Transport Ministry should contact e-hailing firms to see what could be done to help with the LRT crisis.
Loke also said the LRT problem will be a “top priority” for PH if it forms government after the 15th general election.
Incumbent Lembah Pantai MP Fahmi Fadzil said he was in talks with e-hailing partners to provide free rides for affected LRT users in Lembah Pantai as a temporary measure, and hoped to start such services as early as tomorrow.
