The fully completed 37.8km Shah Alam LRT3 line will be officially launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on June 28, with the commercial opening date for the new rail service to be announced during the ceremony.
Shah Alam Line chief Mohd Ariffin Idris said the 20-station route from Bandar Utama to Johan Setia is ready for passenger operations and is expected to benefit about two million residents along the corridor.
“To support first- and last-mile connectivity, the service will be backed by 40 feeder buses operating across 13 routes with 323 stops at RM1 per ride, alongside 44 Rapid On-Demand vans serving 20 zones for RM2 per trip,” he added, while highlighting that Prasarana Malaysia Bhd is targeting 67,000 daily riders in the first year, rising to nearly 118,000 within five years.
Mohd Ariffin said the line also incorporates sustainability and accessibility features, including energy-efficient cooling systems, station designs that maximise natural lighting and ventilation, wheelchair-friendly facilities and dedicated seating for persons with disabilities.
