Use in film

An anonymous user has changed the ‘Movie appearances’ section to say that it is not the Putra LRT, but the Star LRT which appears in Entrapment; is this correct? If so, there is no reason for it to be mentioned here, since only the Putra LRT is an ART line. David Arthur 18:13, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Yes you're right. It was the Star LRT shown in the closing section of the movie, and therefore it should not be mentioned here.
The station in the movie was supposed to be the StarLRT Pudu station. However in real life, it was filmed at the StarLRT Bukit Jalil Station. Advanced 18:28, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Type of current

Does the ART system use DC or AC current? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Louiechefei28848888 (talkcontribs) 05:27, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

DC, delivered via third rail. David Arthur (talk) 20:19, 31 December 2007 (UTC)


More explanation specific to ART technology only

More attention should be given to how the ART operates, how exactly the propulsion system works (because it is not the same as a maglev propulsion system). Diagrams specific to ART/ICTS technology would be helpful (much like the diagrams explaining maglev operation).--Louiechefei28848888 00:20, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

agreed, in fact i am working on gettinga tour of the vancouver based skytrain command center, and will ask for schematics if possible. am also thinking of making a skytrain wiki, since so little is known of them 99bluefoxx (talk) 02:50, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Train Allocation

Are the numbers for train allocation according to sets of trains or number of carriages? The first generation of MKII for Kuala Lumpur's Kelana Jaya Line is 35 sets of 2 carriages each, which is correct if the amount referred to is according to train sets (35 on the table). The subsequent order for trains is 22 sets of 4 carriages and 13 sets of 4 carriages respectively. The 22 set order would have a total of 88 cars and the 13 set order 52. This is incorrect if one collumn refers to number of train sets and another by number of carriages and skews the total for number of trains/carriages manufactured. Hence, if referring to train sets, Kuala Lumpur has an operational bank of 35 sets and a further 35 on order. In terms of carriages, the operational bank is 70 with 140 on order.

Recent updates

Although the local droid commander would not allow me to take photos from inside the property, a visit on Friday to the test track in Millhaven revealed that three Mk. I cars are parked out in front of the old Venturtrans plant. The Mk. II that was on the test track has been moved indoors, and is no longer being actively tested. More interesting, however, was the new TTC subway which was running up and down the test track behind the ICTS track. I didn't know they have bent metal on that one yet. Unfortunately, by the time I got to the end of the track that's visible from Road 4, testing had ended for the day.

Mk II capacity

I unsuccessfully looked for that info here. Anyway from http://www.archive.today/iBzpW[dead link] I found "the new four-carriage train set can ferry 740 passengers, both seating and standing","Current trains on the Kelana Jaya line can accommodate not more than 370 passengers (seated and standing) at any one time". Which means Kuala Lumpur Mk II trainsets have a capacity of 185 passengers per carrriage. Not sure where to put this info in this article. ;-) --sabre23t (talk) 07:55, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
