Investigation of the train schedule and headway for mass rapid transit

On 17 July 2017, 31 stations of Mass Rapid Transit Kajang Line (MRT KGL) were fully operated. In just two years, the ridership of the KGL is about to exceed the ridership of the Ampang LRT Line which has been operated for 23 years. With the increase of the ridership, it may cause congestion in the p...
