Difficult to judge as many ppl oredi on leave, generally not very crowded

I think our system is 40 years behind japan

I tried the star LRT.
From PH to Sri Petaling, the new train seems to be slower. It took at least 2 mins to travel to a short range stations even though the adjacent stations are visible from far (eg 2 mins from Bdr Putri to Tmn Perindustrian Puchong, 2 mins from Tmn Perindustrian Puchong to Pst Bdr Puchong, 2.5 mins from Pst Bdr Puchong to IOI mall)

On the other hand, the old LRT train from Sri Petaling is faster. It takes 1 min from Sri Petaling to Bkt Jalil and so end..

The longer traveling time can be observed on new trains.

do we need to tap out in order to ride the new train heading towards PH from Sri Petaling station?

Tap out at gates, no need.
But need to switch to opposite platform via walking up and down.

Hope after raya upgrade, the new trains can move faster. Else, l rather wish old trains (with better speed) to travel all the way to PH.

okay.
later after all the upgrade done, I might take the LRT..

the new train from China right?

I see the train from China slower.. even u see KTM komuter also can feel. the old one (yellow) from korea faster. the new (white) one slower

both supply from CSR

I am not sure where it was imported.
This new trains(mainly white) has dedicated space for the disabled, dedictaed seats for pragnant ladies and better shoe/ankle room for sitting passengers. Passengers can access from first cargo till the last cargo. As for the older train(yellow outside and blue inside) the above features did not exist. But, old trains win by speed undoutbly.
A photo of new train is attached below.

Cina engineers r still debugging d line. Believe me, Cina engineers will make it go as fast as yr heart can handle...

China = cheap and good
Japan = fast and durable

Yesterday read d news abt smrt sending back d mrt coaches to china for repair due to defects, maybe d spore gomen will not choose China Co for hsr?

D train will slow down when approaching corners such as d one from kewajipan to kesas it's a sharp corner almost 60-70degrees

Bro if U move to em then no lrt/mrt nearby leh got to drive to kajang for mrt

Wow still debugging while LRT already in operation mode....
Ad long as it moves the same speed as the old train, then l am satisfied.

Slowing at corner is reasonable.
Some examples from PH to Sri Petaling are the cornering from Puchong Prima to Puchong Perdana, corner after IOI mall to BK5 etc...But if we can see the adjacent stations in almost straight, the train should not slow. Examples are given in previous post..

Okay.. I can see some similarities between this LRT with KTM komuter.. So its from the same 'base'.. Internal color also same.. Only seat different.. LED display same..

The train did speed up on straight line but overall I find it quite slow I guess can't expect much since it's not hsr

Can't expect it as HSR or MRT as they are different technologies.
I had yet tried the Kelana route from PH to KL.
But for the star route, as long as the new train moves the same speed as the old train, l am satisfied.

ok.. thanks for the info

strange that new trains move slower than old trains

After raya upgrade and there is no need to switch train, any significant difference in traveling time can be easily observed.

Hope after rays the train would be faster...
