The Greater KL MRT is a proposed 3-line 150 km Mass Rapid Transit system in the Klang Valley. A 156km long Mass Rapid Transit system will be built within 20km radius from the city center under the 10th Malaysia Plan and Economic Transformation program.

The objective of the new MRT project is to meet the needs of people to encourage increased usage of public transport and to ensure the future MRT system will contribute towards making Kuala Lumpur a world-class city through proper integration with other modes of public transport. The MRT project is also in line with the government’s target of increasing public transport use to 25 per cent by 2012 from 16 per cent now.

The system consists of three lines, each will be integrated to current rail systems in Kuala Lumpur. The first line will run through Sungai Buloh, Kota Damansara, Kuala Lumpur and Cheras (right up to Kajang). The second line will connect Sungai Buloh, Kepong, Kuala Lumpur and Serdang, while the third line will loop around Kuala Lumpur’s business district – providing a link between the monorail and LRT services.
