KUALA LUMPUR-With expiry of the free promotions by Rapid KL, parking at the new LRT stations will be chargeable beginning 15 August.

Parking at the ‘park n ride’ facilities at stations Ara Damansara, Glenmarie, USJ21, Alam Megah, Subang Alam and Putra Heights will be charged at RM4 per entry per day.  

“Parking at motorcycle bays and bicycle racks at these facilities, however, remains free of charge,” says Rapid KL spokesman, Lim Jin Aun. Constructed under the LRT Line Extension Project (LEP), the park and ride facilities were opened since June 30 with the opening of the new stations.  

“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 in the neighbourhood. This promotion ends on August 14,” added Lim, who is the Head of Group Communications and Strategic Marketing for Prasarana Malaysia Berhad.  

Members of the public are advised to park only at designated areas within the ‘park n ride’ facilities.  

“Please avoid from parking at the side roads and road shoulders. Such irresponsible actions will not only affect traffic flow, but also put you on risk of being summoned and your cars being towed away by the authorities.”Another alternative for commuters to travel to the LRT stations is to use Rapid KL feeder bus services. These stations are well serviced by feeder buses,” he said, adding that full information on the feeder buses is available at Rapid KL official website at www.myrapid.com.my.
