Other Rail Transports
Rail transport in Malaysia consists of heavy rail (including KTM Komuter), light rapid transit (LRT), mass rapid transit (MRT), monorails,
airport rail links and a funicular railway line. Heavy rail is mostly used
for intercity passenger and freight transport as well as some urban public
transport, while rapid transit is used for intra-city urban public transport
in Kuala Lumpur, the national capital, and the surrounding Klang Valley
region.
RapidKL LRT
RapidKL LRT is a light rail transit system (rapid transit in central Kuala
Lumpur) serving a large part of the Klang Valley conurbation in Malaysia. It
is owned by Syarikat Prasarana Negara and operated by RapidKL. The rail
network consists of the LRT Ampang Line,
LRT Sri Petaling Line,
LRT Kelana Jaya Line and the under
construction LRT Shah Alam Line (LRT3).
KTM Komuter
KTM Komuter covers about 287 km length of network that consists of 59
stations (26+31). KTM
Komuter is the first electrified commuter train service in Malaysia. It was
introduced in 1995 to cater especially to commuters in Kuala Lumpur and the
surrounding sub-urban areas and is a popular mode of transport to commute to
Kuala Lumpur. Passengers of the KTM Komuter can rest in the comfort coaches
while being taken to their destinations at very reasonable fares.
