‘’The station is also quite large and equipped with elevators and escalators’’ he tweeted. 

On the third day of Raya (April 26), Tun M was also given the opportunity to have a rather laidback Q&A session pertaining to MRT’s performance as a whole with MRT staff which also escorted them during the trip. 

Following that, he stated through his tweets that he believes said facility will be welcomed by the people if only they ignore the high cost of it. Thus, he congratulates Sungai Buloh / Putrajaya MRT management team.

To recap, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim launched the Putrajaya MRT line on March 16 this year. The Putrajaya Line is expected to carry more than 104,000 people per day with a frequency of 4 minutes during peak hours and 6 minutes during off-peak hours.
