KUALA LUMPUR (June 11): Prasarana Malaysia Bhd (Prasarana) has taken immediate steps to beef up its standard operating procedures (SOP) related to safety, operations, manpower and rail maintenance for the Kelana Jaya Line Light Rail Transit (LRT) service which operates automatically without a driver. “These measures are in addition to the existing SOP and international guidelines. She said the SOP had also been tightened immediately to tackle any communication disruptions between the Operational Control Centre (OCC) and manually-driven trains. Norlia said the SOP, which came into effect on May 30, included setting the requirement for two hostlers for all manual trains under the Kelana Jaya Line LRT tunnel between Pasar Seni and Damai stations. “The speed of manual trains was limited to only 20 kilometres (km) per hour and a safety bulletin will be regularly issued to reiterate safety aspects and SOP to all Prasarana employees,” she said.
