KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - Transport Minister Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat joined the morning rush on the KTM Komuter and Light Rail Transit (LRT) systems to better understand commuters' problems.

He took the KTM Komuter from the Bank Negara station to KL Sentral, then boarded the LRT to Bangsar.

During the ride, Ong spoke to passengers and listened to their feedback on how to further improve the urban public transport system.

Have your say Less people taking public transport

At a press conference later, Ong said the waiting time for LRT trains will be reduced from three minutes to two once six new trains became operational next month.

Ong added that another challenge was to cut the KTM Komuter waiting period.
