Upon completion of the project, Prasarana can operate Kelana Jaya, Sri Petaling, Ampang and Monorail lines from one centre for a combined total of 100km of track, as well as nearly 100 trains.
The scope of the work also includes modifications to three existing operational control centres to serve as backup centres.
