As part of this plan, the LRT project is expected to play a crucial role in connecting key areas, including Sungai Pinang, and providing efficient commute options for residents. With the LRT system, commuters can look forward to reduced travel times and increased access to public transportation, contributing to a more sustainable and livable urban environment.
