I might be wrong but i believe most of the public transport in main cities are not profitable with exception of HK and SG where the operator also involved in property development to offset against the capex.

Project details on the MRT3 is being finalised by Suruhanjaya Pengangkutan Awam Darat. Cabinet approval is anticipated by mid-2018 with project roll-out in early 2019. MRT3 will integrate with other radial rail lines via its orbital alignment, commonly known as the “wheel and spokes” concept.

As it will pass through densely populated areas with high buildings, more than 50% of its alignment will be underground. This plays in Gamuda’s favour as it can undertake a higher degree of underground works given its experience with MRT1 and MRT2. Preliminary estimates place the MRT3’s cost at RM40 billion.
*
Based on past MRT1 & 2, from the time the preliminary alignment is unveiled to public display to finalization of alignment & land acquisition, it will easily take 1.5 to 2 years.

Good timing to coincide with KVMRT2 timing where physical construction work is dwindling from 2020 onwards.

If this new line surround sprint highway, kerinchi link, smart highway,  mrr2 and duke..land acquisition should be lesser compare to MRT 1&2..dunno when wil unveil it and start public display
*
Initially MRT Circle line should be started first instead of MRT2 but government want to build a link to TRX and Bandar Malaysia therefore prioritizing MRT2.

The speculative alignment and stations been out there for few years therefore will be interesting to see any major revision carried on it or not.

Actually some hints of interchange between circle line and mrt1 & 2 already out. You just need to go through the MRT 1&2 reports.

Of course assuming if they still keep the circle line alignment intact.

Possible half of the stations revealed?  hmm.gif
interchange stations: Mid Valley - KTM, Sentul Timur - LRT (Star line), Kerinchi - LRT (Kelana Jaya line).

If observe carefully line 10 (skypark), 11 (LRT3) and 12 (MRT2) is also in placed in that map already.

If this alignment with proposed stations is true, the lost surprise me is the omission of KLEC station.

previously was reported possibility for mrt2 sentul and not the lrt sentul timur

If Sentul West is not one of the interchange station with MRT3, the only direct interchange with MRT2 is at Bandar Malaysia?

The interchange station at Sentul is Sentul Timur LRT.
Not Sentul West MRT2.
Not Sentul KTM.

Logically thinking will not be all 3 because the distance is nearby only.
*
Logically if MRT3 is going to Sentul Timur LRT station, they should have another station linked either with Jalan Ipoh or Sentul West MRT station. The alignment should be close by since MRT3 is coming from Dutamas.

So what's the predicted future of MRT3 Circle Line?
Interesting watch. But definitely cost will be the main factor whether will proceed or postpone or being scrapped off.

I think will be go on after re-reviewed, re-tendered but not on the quoted timeline.

Based on half cost cutting, expect some stations shelved and most will be elevated instead of underground where the underground cost can double easily.
