“We will continue to monitor the demand of passengers. If we see the need to shorten the frequency, additional trains will be sent out. During this period, we highly advise our passengers who still need to take our service, to plan their journeys as well,” said the CEO of Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd, Abdul Hadi Amran.
