I’m sure you’ve all heard about the new RapidKL LRT station extensions that just opened earlier this month, with 13 new stations added to the Kelana Jaya line and two new ones on the Ampang line (in addition to the 8 stations already starting operations earlier this year).
The extended Kelana Jaya line wends its way through major areas of Subang and Shah Alam, while the Ampang line connects you to various parts of Puchong and Kinrara, so it’s easier than ever to get to these places. The new Putra Heights station connects the Kelana Jaya and Ampang lines, so you can switch lines quite easily.
Not only are we getting new stations, the LRT themselves are getting upgrades too, with better air-conditioning, bigger windows, CCTV coverage, and a ‘Dynamic Route Map’ to help provide passengers with information on destinations and directions upon arrival to their chosen stations.
Now feels like as good a time as ever to start exploring further places in our city that we couldn’t reach as easily before, so here’s a list of places that you can now conveniently get to with the new LRTs!
