Park at RM4 per entry at new LRT stations

Motorists who park their vehicles at the 'park and ride' facilities at the new Light Rail Transit (LRT) stations will be charged RM4 per entry per day starting next Monday (Aug 15).

Prasarana Malaysia Bhd, in a statement, today said the parking fee would be imposed at the Ara Damansara, Glenmarie, USJ21, Alam Megah, Subang Alam and Putra Heights stations.

"Parking at motorcycle bays and bicycle racks at these facilities, however, remains free of charge," said its head of group communications and strategic marketing, Lim Jin Aun.

Free parking was offered since June 30 as part of Rapid KL’s initiatives to promote usage of the LRT services for commuters, especially among the residents.

This promotion ends on August 14.

Lim advised the public to park only at designated areas within the ‘park and ride’ facilities.

"Please avoid parking on the side of roads and road shoulders. Such irresponsible action will not only affect traffic flow, but also put you at risk of being summoned and your cars being towed away by the authorities," he said.

He said the stations are also serviced by feeder buses and advised commuters to use the service as an alternative.

The full information on the feeder buses is available at Rapid KL official website at www.myrapid.com.my.
