KUALA LUMPUR: Long-term plans are underway to upgrade KL Sentral, an integrated transport hub that has exceeded its capacity of 100,000 commuters a day.
Before the Covid-19 pandemic, the hub handled some 200,000 passengers a day, said Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.
“Following the pandemic, we had footfall of about 70,000 a day. When that is over, we have to face the reality of being over the limit again.
“Since we are having more routes, such as the ETS (eventually) heading south (Gemas to Johor Baru), we will see even more passengers.
“The ministry is working on creating more tracks and services to handle more passengers.
