LRT3 Shah Alam line to be operational September 2025

Initially set for opening in March, the LRT3 Shah Alam Line has been revealed to commence operations in the third quarter of this year, with physical work on the train line having reached 95% completion as of July last year. Now, LRT3 has announced a more definitive timeframe, and the Shah Alam line is to be ready to operate in September this year.

As indicated in its name, LRT3 is the third LRT line in the Klang Valley after the LRT Ampang and Sri Petaling line and the LRT Kelana Jaya line. The third, Shah Alam line runs from Bandar Utama to Johan Setia, and the stations previously dropped – Tropicana (previously Lien Hoe), Temasya, Raja Muda (Sirim), Bukit Raja and Bandar Botanik – have been reinstated in a return to the project’s original scope.

Construction of the reinstated stations on the Shah Alam line will continue after LRT3 operations have started in September, and this will not affect operations, transport minister Anthony Loke previously said in July.

In terms of supporting services, the LRT3 Shah Alam Line will receive a fleet of electric feeder buses, which will be complemented by three charging depots. The 150-unit fleet was approved by cabinet last year, as part of a wider RM3.8 billion cost for the returning of LRT3 to its original scope.
