“We will not choose a system like the Kelana Jaya Line, it’s too high capacity for Penang. We will choose a scalable system where we can start with a frequency of approximately two-car trains so that when we want to add in the future, we can put three-car trains or four-car trains,” he said.Zairil said this when winding up the debate on the motion of thanks to the Yang di-Pertua Negeri of Penang Tun Ahmad Fuzi Abdul Razak’s speech in the state assembly sitting here today.
He said in order to optimise infrastructure development costs, the government is considering modular construction taking into account current and future needs.He also said that the detailed design for the construction of the LRT actually takes into account the use of sufficient electricity resources with each station being connected to a Traction Power Substation which will supply electricity to the train system later.
