This includes installing automatic platform gates (APGs) at each station and allocating RM10 million for the upkeep and repair of escalators and lifts, which is scheduled to be completed April next year.
“APGs were initially installed in 2016, but the project faced delays due to technical issues and signal malfunctions, which prevented the gates from closing automatically. This posed a safety risk to commuters with 10 reported cases of people falling onto the tracks since 2017," Loke said.

"We resumed the upgrade earlier this year, and now APGs are operational at the KL Sentral and Tun Sambanthan stations. 

“Four additional stations, Mahajaralela, Imbi, Hang Tuah and Bukit Bintang, will be completed by the end of this week, while the remaining stations will be upgraded by year end," Loke told a press conference after inspecting the APG system at the KL Sentral Monorail Station here on Tuesday.

Furthermore, Loke stated that in an effort to enhance service frequency, the government had approved a contract to purchase three additional train sets, reducing train wait times from seven to five minutes. 1000_F_580776117_XMhRQGKA8zMlSM11WlMHiAUZrqOjXLob.jpg

“Currently, the Monorail serves an average of 60,000 passengers daily, and we recognise the need to increase capacity. We expect to receive the additional train sets within 24 months, by 2026," Loke added.
