What's new
LRT3 began passenger operations on 29 June 2026, becoming the Klang Valley's newest rail line. It runs 37.8 km between Bandar Utama and Johan Setia in Klang, with 20 stations serving Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam and Klang — a corridor that previously had no rail coverage at all, relying entirely on buses and cars.
Stations worth knowing
The line calls at several stops relevant to visitors with business or interest west of the city centre, including Stadium Shah Alam, UiTM Shah Alam, and Bandar Bukit Tinggi, alongside connections back into the existing network via Bandar Utama, which links to the Kelana Jaya Line.
Why this matters if you're visiting
For most short-stay tourists sticking to KLCC, Bukit Bintang and the old city core, LRT3 won't change much day to day — it serves the western suburbs rather than the tourist core. But if your trip includes Shah Alam (home to the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Mosque, one of the region's largest) or you're travelling onward toward Klang, this is now a realistic rail option where previously you'd have needed a car or a long Grab ride.
Further out, the MRT3 Circle Line — a 51.6 km orbital route that will eventually ring the city and tie into the MRT, LRT, KTM and Monorail networks via 10 interchange stations — has land acquisition targeted for completion by the end of 2026, with construction tenders expected to restart around mid-2026. It's a multi-year project, but worth knowing about if you're tracking how much easier the city is getting to move around in.
We'll update our getting around guide as more of the network comes online.
