Prasarana Malaysia Berhad recorded its strongest operational performance on the New Year’s Eve (Dec 31, 2025) earlier this week. More than 1.54 million passenger journeys across rail and bus services during which, marking a 0.76% increase year-on-year and the highest single-day ridership in the group’s history.

The milestone was driven primarily by rail services, which carried approximately 1.29 million passengers, while bus services, including Rapid On-Demand (ROD), recorded a combined total of 251,737 passenger trips.

Group President and CEO Amir Hamdan said the smooth handling of the year-end surge reflected strong coordination and crowd management by nearly 3,000 Rapid KL frontline staff deployed across the Klang Valley, ensuring safe, orderly and comfortable journeys throughout the night.

The Ampang/Sri Petaling Line carried 246,885 passengers, while the Putrajaya Line recorded 234,158 passenger trips. 

Monorail registered 90,748 passengers during the same period.

According to Prasarana, the successful execution of large-scale operations under peak conditions underscores the organisation’s operational readiness and the professionalism of its workforce in managing complex urban mobility challenges.

Prasarana also expressed appreciation to all security agencies and strategic partners for their cooperation, while thanking city residents and tourists in the Klang Valley and Penang for choosing public transport, contributing to smoother mobility and supporting broader sustainable city objectives.
