Putrajaya MRT Line Phase Two will begin operations in January 2023.
According to Putrajaya Line MRT project director Datuk Amiruddin Ma’aris, the building of Phase Two of the Putrajaya Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Line from Kampung Batu to Putrajaya Sentral is now 98 percent complete.
Phase Two operations, he said, will begin in January of next year, allowing trains to travel the whole line from Kwasa Damansara to Putrajaya Sentral.
Architectural work, connection roads, landscaping, testing, and commissioning are among the tasks being carried out. The MRT Putrajaya Phase One line is 17.5 kilometres long and includes nine new stations as well as three stations that were previously part of the MRT Kajang Line.
Damansara Damai, Sri Damansara Barat, Sri Damansara Sentral, Sri Damansara Timur, Metro Prima, Kepong Baru, Jinjang, Sri Delima, and Kampung Batu are the nine new stations, whereas Kwasa Damansara, Kampung Selamat, and Sungai Buloh are the three original stations.
Passengers can transfer between the MRT Putrajaya Route and the MRT Kajang Line at Kwasa Damansara, and the new line connects to Malayan Railways (KTM) stations at Sungai Buloh, Sri Damansara Timur (to Kepong Sentral), and Kampung Batu.
Passengers can continue their journey to the city centre by changing to the KTM Batu Caves-Pulau Sebang route, Rapid KL Bus No 173 to Lebuh Ampang, or the free GOKL Maroon bus service at the Kampung Batu station.
The driverless automated train operation, which consists of 20 four-carriage trains, can transport 1,200 passengers.
