MRT Putrajaya Line Phase Two To Have 4 Interchange & 2 Connecting Stations

Mass Rapid Transit Corporation Sdn. Bhd. (MRT Corp) would be launching the MRT Putrajaya Line Phase 2 this coming March. Once launched the entire MRT 1 and 2 line would be fully operational just pending the future MRT 3 Line which would run along the perimeter of the city of Kuala Lumpur connecting MRT 1 and 2.

The full length of the Putrajaya Line will serve 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.

To recap, phase one of the MRT Putrajaya Line, which runs 17.5 km and comprises 12 stations, was launched back in 2022. The entire Putrajaya Line will house 36 stations spanning over 57.7 km and served by 49 units of four car train sets capable of carrying up to 1,200 passengers.

There will be 4 new interchange stations and 2 new connection stations added along the full MRT Putrajaya Line. The interchange stations would be as below:

1. Titiwangsa Station (KL Monorail Line, LRT Sri Petaling Line, LRT Ampang Line)

2. Tun Razak Exchange Station (MRT Kajang Line)

3. Chan Sow Lin Station (LRT Ampang Line, LRT Sri Petaling Line)

4. Sungai Besi Station (LRT Sri Petaling Line)

   
   

and the connecting stations are;

1. Ampang Park Station (LRT Kelana Jaya Line)

2. Putrajaya Sentral Station (ERL KLIA Transit Line, ERL KLIA Express Line)

   
   

Those plying the interchange stations would be able to switch lines seamlessly without needing to tap out or in as these lines would share a common paid area. However those using the connecting stations would be required to tap out and in in order to switch from one line to another.

The Putrajaya Line is scheduled to carry more than 104,000 people per day when it begins full service. This is expected to alleviate the severe traffic congestion that now plagues Kuala Lumpur.
