LRT3 opens Monday: Your complete guide to getting anywhere

LRT3 Shah Alam Line opens 29 June 2026. Here’s how to get from Klang, Shah Alam or PJ to KL city, Putrajaya and KLIA — with fares, routes and a live map.

The LRT3 Shah Alam Line opens this Monday, 29 June 2026. After a decade of construction and delays, the 37.8km line connecting Bandar Utama to Johan Setia is finally ready for passengers. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim will officiate the launch at the depot on Sunday, 28 June, before the line opens to the public on Monday morning at 6am.

But knowing the line exists is only half the story. The more useful question is: once you are on the LRT3, where can you actually go? And how much will it cost to get there?

Here is a practical guide — with an interactive map and journey planner below.

Two LRT3 stations that unlock the whole network

The LRT3 has 20 stations at launch. Most of them are local stops. But two of them are the keys that open up the entire Klang Valley rail network.

The first is Bandar Utama. This is where the LRT3 meets the MRT Kajang Line. From here, you can reach TRX, Bukit Bintang, Pasar Seni and Kajang without changing lines again. It is the fastest way into KL city from anywhere along the Shah Alam corridor.

The second is Glenmarie 2. This is where the LRT3 meets the Kelana Jaya LRT Line. From here, the KJ Line runs in two directions. Head towards Gombak for KLCC and Pasar Seni. Head towards Putra Heights for KL Sentral, Subang Jaya and SS15. Most journeys out of Shah Alam and Klang will pass through Glenmarie 2.

There is also a third, smaller connection. At Jambatan Kota, a short walk connects you to the KTM Komuter station in Klang town. This matters if you need to continue towards Port Klang or further up the KTM line.
