Shah Alam line
The LRT Shah Alam Line, previously known as the LRT Bandar Utama–Klang Line, LRT Bandar Utama-Johan Setia Line or simply LRT Johan Setia Line or LRT3, is a medium capacity rapid transit line which will serve the Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam and Klang areas on the western side of the Klang Valley in Selangor, Malaysia. It will be the third LRT line, and the fourth fully automated and driverless rail system in the Klang Valley region. The line will be operated as part of the Rapid KL system by Rapid Rail, a subsidiary of Prasarana Malaysia.
It was announced by Prasarana Malaysia in 2013 and work began in 2016. Construction was halted in 2018 for a review that followed the change of government and concerns over funding. The project was later revived after it was reclassified from a rapid transit line to a light metro. Its expected completion was moved from 2020 to 2024. Continued delays then pushed the projected completion date through 2025 and eventually into 2026.
Once completed, the line will form part of the Klang Valley Integrated Transit System. It is numbered 11 and coloured sky blue on official transit maps. The line is one of four rapid transit lines in the Klang Valley that does not serve KL Sentral, the other three being the Ampang Line, Sri Petaling Line and the Putrajaya Line, as well as the first rapid transit line in the Klang Valley that is entirely outside the borders of the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur.
In May 2014, the Shah Alam LRT was proposed to begin from Bandar Utama, Kelana Jaya, running through areas of Glenmarie, HICOM-Glenmarie Industrial Park, Shah Alam Stadium, Shah Alam city centre, UiTM, I-City, Bukit Raja Shopping Centre, Taman Eng Ann, Bandar Klang and then heading straight on to Johan Setia. This was later confirmed in October 2015 following the tabling of Budget 2015 where the Prime Minister announced that the government will provide RM9 billion to build an LRT project linking Bandar Utama to Shah Alam and Klang.
In 2015, the public display of the line will was held for three months beginning in May at seven locations – the offices of the Shah Alam City Council, Petaling Jaya City Council, Land Public Transport Agency, Klang Royal City Council (then known as Klang Municipal Council), as well as the Kelana Jaya, Masjid Jamek, and Pasar Seni LRT stations. It was also announced that construction works were to start by Q1-2016. In September 2015, Prasarana Malaysia Berhad announced that Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad (MRCB) and George Kent Sdn Bhd joint venture (JV) has been appointed as the Project Delivery Partner (PDP) for the LRT project. In October 2015, Prasarana agreed to change the route of the LRT line, which was originally planned to cut through the housing area of Taman Muhibbah in Klang to Pasar Besar Klang (Klang wet market) at Jalan Meru. Residents of Taman Muhibbah had objected to the proposed line which would run through their housing area. The LRT project was officially launched by the sixth Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak in August 2016.
After the fall of the Barisan Nasional (BN)–led federal government in May 2018, the new Pakatan Harapan (PH)–led federal government, citing mounting national debt, proposed various cost cutting measures to a list of federal government projects, including the LRT3 project. The Lien Hoe, Temasya, SIRIM, Bukit Raja and Bandar Botanik stations were reclassified to provisional stations while the underground station of Persiaran Hishamuddin was cancelled. The reasons cited for the changes made were due to the high cost of the project, unnecessary tunneling for the underground portion of the line and low ridership in the area. The provisional stations however will be built once demand in the area picks up.
Other cost-cutting exercises included the swapping of six-car trains for three-car trains, cutting down the total trains from 42 to 22, reducing the size of the stations to four-car length and ditching costly acceleration techniques. The completion date was also extended from 2020 to 2024.
The planned completion date of the entire line in 2024 as announced in 2018 was delayed for over two years due to the impact of the Malaysian movement control order from the COVID-19 pandemic and further testing of operations. The first delay for the overall opening of the line was announced in July 2023 where Transport Minister Anthony Loke mentioned that the line was expected to be operational by 1 March 2025.
