PUTRAJAYA LINE

The Putrajaya Line is the second line of the Klang Valley MRT Project.

The line serves a corridor with a population of around 2 million people stretching from Kwasa Damansara, a new township development in northwest Kuala Lumpur and its southern suburbs, to Putrajaya, Malaysia’s federal administrative centre.

The 57.7km-long Putrajaya Line, consisting of 44.2km of elevated tracks and 13.5km underground tunnels The line has 36 operational stations, of which 27 are elevated and 9 underground. A further 5 provisional stations have been built along the alignment for future use (Rubber Research Institute (RRI), Bandar Malaysia Utara, Bandar Malaysia Selatan, Taman Teknologi, and Taman Universiti).

There are 10 interchange stations and connecting stations along the alignment, making it much easier for commuters to transfer from the Putrajaya Line to the existing and future rail lines. 17 stations along the alignment are equipped with park and ride facilities, with a total of 6,416 bays available for the convenience of the commuters.

The Government announced its approval for the implementation of the Putrajaya Line in 2014. A Public Inspection exercise pursuant to Section 84 of the Land Public Transport Act 2010 was then subsequently held from May to August 2015 for members of the public to give their feedback and objections.

The final approval for the Putrajaya Line Railway Scheme was given by the Government in October 2015, enabling land acquisition and the procurement process to proceed.

The ground breaking ceremony, which was officiated by then Prime Minister YAB Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak, was held at the site of the future Putrajaya Sentral MRT Station on 15 September 2016, marking the commencement of construction works for the Putrajaya Line.

Putrajaya Line Phase One operations, stretching from Kwasa Damansara to Kampung Batu was launched by then Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Ismail Sabri Yaakob on 16 June 2022, while the remaining section of the line was launched by Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim on 16 March 2023.

The Putrajaya Line is expected to have an initial ridership of over 104,000 passengers daily. This will further improve the current chronic traffic congestion while significantly increasing the targeted modal share of 40% public transport use within the Greater Kuala Lumpur region.
