In case you missed it, LRT3 was first announced in 2016 and originally had a total of 26 stations planned. However, it was later revised to only consist of 20 stops, which also includes two interchange stations (Bandar Utama and Glenmarie) that allow passengers to switch over to different train lines (MRT Kajang Line and LRT Kelana Jaya Line, respectively). For your reference, below are the list of stations operating along the upcoming line:
Bandar Utama Kayu Ara BU 11 Damansara Idaman SS7 Glenmarie Kerjaya Stadium Shah Alam Dato Menteri UiTM Shah Alam Bandar Baru Klang Pasar Besar Klang Jalan Meru Klang Taman Selatan Seri Andalas Klang Jaya Bandar Bukit Tinggi Johan Setia
“We have 22 sets of three-coach trains currently being tested,” Loke said. “The entire project is expected to cost about RM16 billion, so we expect this project to be implemented well and I am confident that all parties will work together to ensure that this service starts operating on 1 March 2025.” Further revealed by the transport minister is the capacity of LRT3, which is said to be capable of transporting 18,630 passengers per hour and direction. This is expected to benefit over two million residents in the Klang Valley, especially from Petaling Jaya to Klang. Loke also assured that all 22 trains are new, comfortable, and equipped with environmentally-friendly technology. In fact, his visit to the depot and the LRT3 operation control centre yesterday also saw him participating in a trial run in one of the trains. (Source: Malay Mail)
