Prasarana Malaysia announced that Rapid KL will be expending its operating hours on 31 December to accommodate the New Year’s Eve celebrations. This means that the rail services will be running until 3AM of 1 January 2025, while certain bus routes will be running until 3:30AM.
Worth noting though that while the Rapid KL rail services will be running for longer than usual, only certain stations will be open for the public to board from past normal operating hours. These will include interchange stations, but every other station will be closed as they usually do, and you’ll only be able to exit those stations.
