There aren’t any interchange to LRT for MRT’s Phase 1. However, commuters will be able to reach KL Sentral station from the Muzium Negara MRT station via a 240 metres linkway. The linkway will connect you to Menara CIMB, Quill Sentral, St. Regis Hotel and Residences, Hilton Hotel, Le Meridien Hotel, as well as Platinum Sentral.
It was previously reported that the lowest single stop fare based on the cash fare structure is RM1.10 (e.g.: between Merdeka and Pasar Seni stations), while the maximum cash fare structure is RM6.40 (RM5.50 for cashless fare structure).
Also, the discounts applied to students, senior citizens, and OKU, which is 50% off the usual fare, will be brought forward to the MRT too.
