Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will officially launch the new rail line during a ceremony on June 28. Officials said the Prime Minister will also announce the official commercial opening date and operating schedule for the new service.

Twenty New Stations Added

The LRT3 network introduces 20 new stations, including Bandar Utama, Kayu Ara, Glenmarie 2, Stadium Shah Alam, UiTM Shah Alam, Bandar Baru Klang, Pasar Klang, Bandar Bukit Tinggi and Johan Setia. The new corridor is expected to serve nearly two million residents living along the route.

Better Connectivity Across Klang Valley
