Boost for existing props

Public transport is to move population, not for developer to sell more products and leave existing population to rot.

looking at mrt3 stations and their locations now, in retrospective mrt1 station locations werent' that bad after all.

i dont know why many interchange stations in same location need walk so far just to reach to different line. Is it because of cost reasons that they can't build so near each other?

He said public inspections were taking place now and will continue until Dec 2.
“After that we should be able to finalise our alignment and start our land acquisition process."

Does this mean that the current stations and alignments are not finalised yet and may change after the public inspection?

Yup 😊

So don't expect MRT project to be operating next 5 years

of course, public inspection is there for a reason.

also expect more changes if there is objection from the locals, i.e the taman tasik danau kota alignment.

Alignment in PJ....Hmmm....

But why want to go PJ. Circle line are usually used to connect business hub to mass public. Sacrificing bangsar south connectivity for this doesn't make sense.

PJ is just an "alternative" and wasn't in the previous proposal.
BTW, do you have any insight on why Bgsr Sth is sacrificed?
Interested to know as well.

Easy answer will be. Developer didn't pay or leverage enough. See who owns the majority of undeveloped land near Asia Jaya maybe we might get an idea.

But having circle line that didn't cover any business hubs, I really don't know the true value of this line. It's not connected to KLCC, TRX, and now they want to skip Bangsar south as well. If they really skip all business hubs, this line is dead on arrival.

Places like Bangsar south, bangsar, mont Kiara, KLGCC, TRX. Developers don't really care if your line goes there. Those places is self sufficient, hence lansi towards MRTcorp lor. That's my speculation, this is not /k.

Looking at all other countries that have circle line rail network, the objective is not necessarily connecting with key business hubs. Circline line or circle ring road serves for different purposes.

I believe someone has earlier answered that this circle line is meant to connect those places/stns previously not-connected to form a larger link, thus easing the road traffic congestion.

Also, the recent alignment has skipped UM stn. Some of their students are staying at Pantai Dlm/Kerinchi(asrama?). The students' wishes to use MRT to UM are now vanished....

UM land gonna be redeveloped soon and they might move further away from the city

I went to the old ISKL in Ampang last month. I would think the land would have been developed for another high density project but apparently they made it into a leisure mall called The Campus. It is crowded that having problems to find parking. Many went there to "punch card" due to its unique ambience.

🚇 It’s Official: MRT3 Circle Line Railway Scheme Approved! ✅

We’re thrilled to announce that the Final Railway Scheme for the MRT3 Circle Line has been formally approved and signed by YB Loke Siew Fook, Minister of Transport, marking a major milestone for the project.

👏 A big thank you to the 45,000 Malaysians who shared their feedback during the Public Inspection — with 93.3% voicing strong support for MRT3!

📍 What’s new:
✔️ Reduced land acquisitions from 1,012 to 690 lots
✔️ Improved station and viaduct placement along the alignment.

📆 With the green light in place, land acquisition begins next, paving the way for better connectivity across the Klang Valley.

🔁 The 51.6-km Circle Line will integrate with existing MRT, LRT, KTM & Monorail lines — featuring 10 interchange stations for seamless travel around Kuala Lumpur.

Finally... Good News 😁

Hopefully it's built & fully operational on time without any serious delays....

Reduced land acquisitions from 1012 to 690 lots means the alignment are shifted more along the highways or public spaces such as parks.
Another very unlikely reason is that they moved elevated rail to underground.
BTW anyone has the update of the alignments and stations?
