Shah Alam LRT link in pipeline
SHAREN KAURPublished: 2013/04/24

RM5B-RM6B PLAN: Prasarana is expected to call for tenders next year

THE government may build a third light rail transit (LRT) line from Kelana Jaya to Port Klang, believed to be costing RM5 billion to RM6 billion.

Dubbed the Shah Alam LRT line, Syarikat Prasarana Negara Bhd (Prasarana) is expected to call for tenders for the project next year, after a proper due diligence to be undertaken by the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) is completed.

Prasarana is a wholly-owned government company established by the Finance Ministry and the operator and asset owner of LRT lines.

SPAD chief development officer Azmi Abdul Aziz confirmed that the new Shah Alam LRT line is on the drawing board and that it will span 20km to 30km.

He, however, declined to comment on the estimated development cost.



Azmi said it will be an open tender and companies with existing contracts for the Kelana Jaya and Ampang LRT line extension projects will be allowed to bid.

"It is no more like before where companies that had won LRT jobs couldn't bid for the same development. As long as the companies are qualified and have met the necessary funding and technical requirements, they can bid," he said.

"This is totally a new line and very important for the public. Shah Alam is becoming densely populated, with new townships coming up.

"The new line would allow people from Port Klang and Shah Alam to come to the city without hassle. It will complement the existing Kelana Jaya and Ampang LRT lines," he added.

It is learnt that the Shah Alam line will start from the LRT station in Kelana Jaya, head towards the Shah Alam stadium and pass through Klang, before stopping in Port Klang.

In Port Klang, the LRT line will also be linked to the KTM commuter station to serve the growing population.

Malaysia is currently extending the existing Ampang and Kelana Jaya LRT lines under a RM7 billion plan.

The two extensions involve a total of 34km and Prasarana have awarded almost all of the contracts for the jobs.

Good news to those property speculators. A simple headline and the house price will go *BOOM*

Hope it pass thru Setia Alam and integrate with Klang Sentral.

But the bad point.......Property price in Setia Alam & Setia Eco Park naik lagi

this is its own line right...?

The keyword " MAY"

Nokkk haroommmm ...bg la extraline from kajang - bangi - putrajaya..

Urgh, baik beli rumah sekarang...oh wait, I didn't have the money.

Setia Alam already damn expensive

I hope also...

LRT 3, which the proposed line also called, is a dedicated LRT line.

LRT 1 = Kelana Jaya line, LRT 2 = Ampang line.

And please build another LRT line from Putra Heights to Klang lolx..
Pass thru Kota Kemuning..

LRT 3 is probably 23.5 km long, 16 stations.

Any plan to extend it to putrajaya sentral? already got monorail station in putrajaya sentral but not connected to any monorail, sad....

Future plan for Putrajaya might be (based on SPAD plan):

- Putrajaya monorail might be revived

- Having MRT 3 passing from Selayang to Putrajaya

Page not found for the spad link?

Ah, sorry.

This one

http://www.spad.gov.my/sites/default/files...110913-v1.0.pdf

then buy now lor..

SHAH ALAM RULES!!!!

Wahh, no wonder yesterday 2 property agents called me if im willing to sell my house. My house price already almost double the value when i bought it. My friend also got called. His house in setia alam, already more then double the value when he bought it. This is only in a time frame of 5 years.
I really pity those buying a house in s.alam now. But hope this lrt news is true. May reduce federal highway traffic

Klang-PJ LRT corridor.

which part of shah alam

is setia alam area included in this project ?

This post has been edited by notok: Apr 24 2013, 09:55 AM

dont think so...

finally lrt to port klang. KTM slow...but havent take the latest train to port klang yet...

Isn't PutraHeight the midway point for the LRT extension project? Now with this proposed, all you need to do is to take the LRT from Putra Heights, switch train at Kelana Jaya and you can reach Port Klang.

SP Setia MasterPlan already include certain area for LRT developement.

So there is a high chance of LRT pass thru Setia Alam.

but..but my dream of upgrade my house to SemiD terus crash when the price reach almost 1mil at current market value

which area of setia alam ? setia city mall or the current commercial area near tesco and giant setia alam ?

By 2030?

Wah.... So many /k/ stay setia alam....

Good news! maybe they need to upgrade the existing station in Kelana Jaya to cope the capacity!

Don't think they will run through Setia Alam during the study...but who knows? they will realign it!

u got houses in setia alam also ? i saw a lot of new houses built nearby setia city mall but still vacant even those houses already finish construction for 8 months already

If my memory din fail me, it is nearby setia city mall

Those wait for 200%
Mine setia impian 7

PNB already took over the helm of SP Setia.

High chance they use their influence to Pasarana

sempat mati

I hope it serves I-City, Bukit Jelutong.

Not sure, but Shah Alam Stadium might be included.

How to buy ????
my current house even I able to sell around 550k(max market rate) where I going to cough up the balance 450k (this not include reno)

then stop looking that area lor..
not all house setia alam is 1mil la..

Huh??

If switch train like this, I am very sure no people will take public transport from Kota Kemuning to Port Klang..

Even to KL also.. the commute time is simply too long..

True true...but dont forget that EPF (shareholder of PLUS Malaysia) wont be happy if there is a competing route to the existing toll plaza...

caught in between dilemma... LOL...

On a side note...if the line is to serve Setia Alam and go straight down to Port Klang...it might defeats the purpose of serving the residents of Shah ALam...because of the alignment issue...my 2.2 cents

I'm not speculator.
I'm buying house for family and myself.
SP Setia done a very good township developement.

Can you recommend which township in KlangValley with able to match with the SP Setia benchmark level or higher?

got, get houses around bangsar n damansara heights lor..

While nothing has been confirmed as the line is in planning stage...

SPAD map indicates the line may follow highway for most part.

Bro, don't be unreasonable. Even in Japan I am sure plenty of people switch train. If everyone want to go to anywhere with just 1 train ride, how many LRT, MRT they need to build? Not even possible la.

sime darby

Provided if the transfer can be done on the same island platform, line transfer will not be a problem.

It would be helpful if KTM and Prasarana ticketing system link up too.

If u won't mind of using 2nd hand or 3rd hand house but I prefer newly built house.

Btw bangsar no more developement
while damansara height......come out from house jam here and there

lol.sempat reborn?

paging sendoh_7 ^__^

U will cry when seeing the quality of sime darby property now days.
Good example is their township opposite nearby Setia Alam

The price

Setia Alam township is very big.
When started they put a target of 20years to fully develope the available land.
Now half way already and yet it's potential still not yet fully utilize.

PLUS still happy coz now days the vehicle's pass thru Setia Toll is constantly increase

I didnt say 1 train ride..

But then why would I want to switch train at Kelana Jaya to go to Port Klang?

It is like taking KTM train at Shah Alam but your destination is Bandar Tasik Selatan..

Agree with you - I was looking at the houses in Setia Alam before...RM630k for a ds link house...

in the end we decided not to go for it considering the distance to city centre and the connecting roads in...but nevertheless it is a great township to live in

Will have to see the transport consultant/SPAD final comment on the alignment...

As Kampung pointed out...the initial alignment was pretty much based on the NKVE alignment - ridership model was done and justified based on that alignment and found out that is feasible from 2030 onwards

The proposed LRT3 alignment comes together with a series of connecting buses to the key centre... not sure if there is any /k living in Shah alam got household interviewed during the period of 2011/2012

That interview was meant for this LRT3

Aside from LRT, Shah Alam residents will also enjoy new BRT lines.

Prasarana currently has 3 rail lines.

If MRT 1 done, that will be 4.

If LRT 3 done, that will be 5.

Sooner, our KL rail network will be as good as Madrid, London, Paris....Barcelona.

If follow highway, then might as well 'abolish' KTM.

Here is a repost of the line I made that may be considered properly. More to come.

And instead of Port Klang as final destination, they should consider Bukit Tinggi as the final stop too. Or Pandamaran.

Don't think they can abolish the KTM...they are still operating but with few least-frequent station closed down...so that the travel time will be fasten up... those were the suggestion given to SPAD by the transport consultants

KTM serves more established parts of Klang/Shah Alam.

LRT 3 going to serve new areas, such as recently developed Bukit Jelutong all those. From SPAD map, it seems they are thinking of ELITE (NKVE) alignment.

Nice attempt on the map!

yes!! now can balik for raya with LRT

kroni wan back shah alam

Currently drawing second one. Coming up soon...

My idea of LRT in Klang is to build at places without public transport. As for the areas that already have KTM, they can consider to build few LRT stops close to KTM stops. So that we don't have all the trains crammed into one spot

There is no plan to close any KTM Komuter stations. One new station will be added, which is Eco City.

However, there is plan to upgrade the whole stuff into 'KTM Metro'. KTM Metro plan is to allow more frequent trains, up to 5 minutes during peak hour.

But, the thing is that KTM Metro will only happen if they build the bypass track for cargo trains, such as Serendah to Port Klang so that the cargo train won't occupy busy Komuter sections.

at the end of the day 2nd hand or 3rd hand doesnt even matter..
more importantly is location.. sorry la.. setia alam is like way out of town.. go KL kena tol. go Klang kena traffic light jam..lol..

and how's the public transport there then? since you say the township like so good.

This post has been edited by ar188: Apr 24 2013, 11:15 AM

Two places have been mentioned.

- Shah Alam stadium area

- Port Klang KTM station

Where will the line serves?

oops sorry - i meant temporarily close down during peak hours as suggestion

now have to see whether the Freight Relief Line is gonna materialized or not

setia alam is like 10 years ago version of puchong. what did ppl said about puchong 10 years ago, and now what happen to puchong ?

Sri muda have plenty of foreigners staying at that area..

later pipul will complain alot bangala in LRT train..

Puchong is just next to Bukit Jalil and or KL..

How are they going to connect Klang to Kelana Jaya station when the new Kelana Jaya Line Extension have already been connected to the Kelana Jaya Station?

Somehow, I feel, if they want to connect LRT 3 with Kelana Jaya line, it need not be Kelana Jaya station (KJ 24).

Kelana Jaya line extension station 1 or 2 can be considered, but then station 2 might be the most suitable.

I wonder will they share the same depot as Lembah Subang too. If they share that same depot, then the same Bombardier ART will be used for LRT 3

It will be easier to build as this LRT 3 can easily follow Jalan Lapangan Terbang Subang.

We can't discriminate them anyway






Here's the Klang-Kemuning-Puchong line. Interchanges at ST13 of the Kelana Jaya-USJ extension.

Purple : some newly build house. Something Phase 3. I can't remember the name well.

Pink : TTDI Suria + Alam Impian. Houses here are already close to sold out.

Interesting..

But then if Kota Kemuning station can be put near to the Business centre area is good..

I think Station 1 is geographically as problematic as Kelana Jaya station. Station 2 may be okay to go near NKVE to Klang. What do you think about Station 3? It'll pass through higher density areas in Shah Alam via Glenmarie to Klang, right?

I think even without shared depot, the same Bombardier ART could be used. That subang depot already being expanded to take care of almost double the number of trains it was originally built for. Would another expansion of similar magnitude be possible?

Let's hope ! And SP Setia already allocated some land for the station.. if that helps...

Actually to integrate Klang-Kemuning-Setia Alam quite tedious. Unless we set Setia Alam as last stop. Setia Alam - Klang - Kemuning - Puchong.

I put roughly only like agak2 which area requires train service. Kemuning is a critical one. Like no bus at all. That's the reason why more and more cars are OTR now.

Station 3 will be fine too.

It seems the fixed points of the line are Shah Alam stadium vicinity and KTM Port Klang. Routing from station 3 to Shah Alam through Glenmarie is still possible.

Further depot expansion, not sure about this, but I thought they are getting extra 14 sets of four car train as well?

Should they need new depot for LRT 3, good thing is that there is ample land east of Setia Alam.

I always believe in the capability of Bombardier ART, it can do tight curves, and do steeper gradient, hence more flexible to plan with

We need more BRTs too

Shah alam/Klang are huge. Good that there is this proposal on the Northern corridor of Shah Alam & Klang but they forgotten the SOuthen corridor of Shah Aam that is progressin at much faster rate compare to the Northern side i.e:

1) Sri Muda- Kemuning- Bkt Rimau
2) Kg Jawa/Jln Kebun
3) Bkt Tinggi-Botanic
4) Pandamaran- Teluk Gong

These areas reachaeble via Putra Height line

Bro,

I din know you are here too Still active in GPS communities? You are expert on this LRT right

I searched for SP Setia MasterPlan and found http://www.spsetia.com.my/setia-alam/setia...master-plan.pdf . But that doesn't have any LRT reserves marked.

KTM - Supporting the Centre part of Shah ALam, Klang & P/Klang
LRT KJ Ex - Suporting the Northern side

and ideally - Putra Height Ext supporing the Southern side (If there is such proposal

We need all of it, actually

Kg Jawa-Bukit Tinggi is fast developing, Kg Jawa is having Alam Impian as shown in my LRT line pics. Speaking of that, I forgot to indicate the colours ; Bukit Tinggi just started their Bukit Tinggi 3 if I'm not mistaken. I've passed by that place several times to see that it has put up zinc 'walls'. (Jln Klang-Banting, after AEON KESAS-flyover.)

Southern part is very critical. I see Kemuning area have very very very very weak public transportation. Close to zero support only buses I see going through (nearest that I see) are the SBS (Seranas) stopping at Tmn Sri Muda.

That is why In my view we need 2 more extension lines Norhern part - The already huge townships of Bkt Jelutong - Subang - Setia ALam - Meru till Northport

and fast developing SOuhern part

Because there is no plans to build MRT from Putra Heights to Klang...

All these public transportation (especially trains) should've been talked and developed during Abdullah's period, what to do, tidur lagi la.

Bkt Jelutong is a place that heavily needs train also. My friend live at that area mati ler, everyday jam jam jam We should do like Singapore, circular tracks

If that is the case, most will prefer car/taxi over LRT/MRT..

Hopefully our LYN transport minister can brings up LYN proposal of having the Southern Corridor lines too ad even better since Unker Sabre23T also now joining this thread

Southern rakyat must bangkit! UBAH!! owait... different topic

Hi patienceGNR nice maps of possible routes. Did you paint on a screencapture of google maps? That's hard to compare/zoom/change layers. I'm particularly interested in your southern alignment.

Perhaps you can edit your proposed routes on Google Places My Maps? You can use this "LRT3 LYN Alignments" map to import kml or use it as base, http://goo.gl/maps/W4uaI .


PS: Yes Bro Stimix, I've been here since 2008. Though I haven't been very active here. Also very much less active on MSM/MFM. More active on other GPS related activities. ;-}

The one I saw actually quite long ago when they put up the model in their show room. I'm not sure the present one in their showroom still got or not.

Maybe I need to revisit the showroom to checkout their latest developement.

The public transport is bad.
That's why LRT is a very good news for ppl staying there.

Did you read KL traffic will be reduced to 10km/h during traffics jams as car usage grows?

But still no point..

If I stay in Sri Muda and Kota Kemuning, I will need to drive my car to nearest station Putra Heights/Tmn Megah??

But then I still have to jam from Sri Muda to Tmn Megah via Kesas -> HICOM..


Okay given that I have alternative station at USJ, I still have to drive to USJ station and park there, but then I jam at Kewajipan interchange for 30 mins??

So tell me what is the point of taking LRT at Putra Heights and USJ, when I still have to start jam at my area already, reach LRT station have to find parking, and when on board LRT, I still have to pass through Kelana Jaya and then only can go to KL..
