PETALING JAYA: Those travelling for work from Klang to Kuala Lumpur will have little to cheer, as the long‑anticipated Shah Alam LRT line (formerly LRT3) is now projected to be delayed to at least the second quarter of 2026.
According to industry sources, the primary cause of the delay lies in the final and most demanding stage of the project – system testing and commissioning
The line is currently undergoing a mandatory “fault-free run” as prescribed by the Land Public Transport Act 2010.
During this phase, the 22 trainsets, along with their wayside and supporting systems, must demonstrate the ability to integrate and operate continuously and reliably, as expected of a top-tier driverless train system using the Grade of Automation 4 (GoA 4) standard
Under this testing regime, the rolling stock, signalling, communications and electrification systems must all perform seamlessly together, not just in isolation, before the regulator, the Land Public Transport Agency (Apad), can certify the system as safe and fit for service.
Insiders say the trainsets have struggled to achieve and sustain the designated operating speed of 80-90kph, something which cannot be dismissed as a “minor issue”.
