How often do you use the MRT?

The MRT first started operating in December 2016 with the Sungai Buloh-Kajang line marking the launch of phase one. Phase two followed soon after, making the MRT fully operational in July 2017.

Whether you use it every day to commute to and back from work, or just occasionally when you don't feel like driving to KL, you're part of the 140,000 people that makes up the MRT's current ridership base.

This number is continuing to increase every day and the MRT is expected to soon have 400,000 daily riders.

The next time you’re at an MRT station, take the opportunity to snap some cool photos - it could be your ticket to winning cash prizes!

In the spirit of celebrating what’s arguably the best thing to have happened to Malaysia’s public transportation so far, the Negaraku community is currently having a simple photo contest

Here's how to join:
Step 1: Follow @mynegaraku on Instagram.
Step 2:
Snap a photo that shows a different side of MRT stations, lifestyle, and architecture that's never been seen before.
Step 3: Upload the photo to your Instagram account.
Step 4: Include #MRTnegaraku and #KLmobilegraphymeet_MRT in your caption and make sure that your account is set to public.
Step 5: Don't forget to tag @mynegaraku in your photo.

That's it!
