Platform gap

Putra LRT stations are designed to have platform gaps smaller than about 5cm to allow easy access for the disabled and wheel chair users. They are able to achieve this due to the following reasons:

1. Putra tracks are non-ballasted, hence less rail and train movements;
2. Putra trains have direct rubber suspension, hence less train body movements;
3. Putra trains does not go too fast pass the platforms;
4. Putra stations have straight platforms.
