MRT CORP
the traffic situation faced by thousands of road users daily .
This resulted in the MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang alignment by SPAD as part of the Greater Kuala Lumpur / Klang Valley Land Public Transport Master plan . A 51km long alignment was finalized . Of which , 9.5km long of the alignment will be underground .
The MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line will be integrated with existing rail lines , namely the KTM Komuter , Monorail , LRT and KLIA express . This will then create a whole network of urban rail capable of transporting commuters in Klang Valley .
The line will start from Sungai Buloh , which is the north west side of Kuala Lumpur and will run through the city centre and ends in Kajang . It is expected to serve a corridor of 1.2 million people with 400 , 000 of daily passengers ridership .
In total there will be 31 stations for this MRT line of which seven stations will be underground . Indeed , constructing the alignment in these welldeveloped areas is a great challenge . Therefore , underground stations are the best solutions to avoid causing traffic congestion in the city centre
