(Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA: Repairs on the signalling system on the Putrajaya MRT line are still going on after Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd found that more fiber optic cables had been cut, believed due to theft. Services on the line were disrupted yesterday, forcing trains to be operated manually. Rapid Rail said a comprehensive repair process was needed to ensure that operations "return to stability and safety". In a statement this morning, it said train frequency between the Kwasa Damansara station and Putrajaya Sentral is expected to be every 20 to 30 minutes. It said train movements are slower, with longer stops at each station. The rail operator said the free shuttle bus service from Kwasa Damansara station to Putrajaya Sentral will continue, and bus frequency is expected to be every 15 to 20 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. It advised those needing assistance to speak to station staff or police personnel on duty, or refer to Rapid KL's social media pages and the PULSE app for the latest information and developments. Passengers are also advised to plan their journeys in advance and use alternative transport to avoid delays, it said.
