The long-awaited LRT3 Shah Alam Line has officially begun operations today. To encourage more people to experience the new rail line, Rapid KL is offering free unlimited rides from 29 June until 31 July 2026.
The free travel campaign covers the entire LRT 3 Shah Alam Line as well as Rapid KL feeder shuttle bus services. In addition, free parking is also provided at the designated 6 Park N’ Ride facilities on LRT3 Shah Alam Line.
If you’re planning to take the new line for the first time, here’s everything you need to know.
You still need to tap in and tap out for free LRT3 rides
Although rides are free throughout the promotional period, passengers are still required to tap in and tap out at the fare gates.
If you’re using a Touch ‘n Go card or Rapid KL Travel Pass (My50/Rapid Bulanan/Rapid Kota/Rapid Kembara/Rapid Keluarga/Rapid Mesra/Rapid Pelajar/Rapid Emas), it must be active and have a minimum stored value of RM5 before you can enter the station. No fare will be deducted for eligible journeys during the campaign.
Alternatively, passengers can obtain a QR ticket from the Ticket Vending Machine (TVM) before boarding.
The free travel offer also extends to Rapid KL feeder shuttle bus services serving the Shah Alam Line which will require either a Touch ‘n Go card or a Rapid KL Travel Pass.
Take note that Rapid KL On-Demand vans are excluded from the campaign.
