The Klang Valley will soon have a new rail line called MRT 3 Circle Line which will connect and complement the existing public transport network. Ahead of the commencement of the project, MRT Corp has kicked off a public inspection exercise between 2nd September to 2nd December 2024 to allow the public to view and provide feedback on the proposed alignment, sites and context plans as well as other key details of the project.
Here’s everything you need to know about the MRT 3 line and how you can provide your feedback on the upcoming rail network.
What is MRT 3 Circle Line?
MRT 3 Circle Line is a circular loop that covers a distance of 51km and it is the first circular rail line in Malaysia. With a circular loop, commuters can get to different ends of the Klang Valley more efficiently without going deep into the heart of Kuala Lumpur to change lines. A full loop takes 73 minutes and the line has an expected capacity to move 25,000 passengers per hour per direction with up to 750 passengers per train.
The new MRT line includes 12km of underground alignment and 39km of elevated sections. A total of 32 stations have been planned which includes 22 elevated stations and 7 underground stations, with the remaining 3 being provisional stations (elevated).
Park-and-ride facilities are available at 11 stations.

When is the MRT 3 Circle Line expected to be completed?
The MRT 3 Circle Line project was previously shelved during the Pakatan Harapan administration in 2018, and it was eventually revived during Ismail Sabri’s administration in March 2022. At the time, the project was estimated to cost RM31 billion excluding land acquisition cost which is forecasted to cost around RM8.4 billion.
Under the current administration, the MRT 3 project is now estimated to cost around RM45 billion, which is said to be reduced from the original budget of RM68 billion when it was announced back in 2018.
According to the current project timeline, the final railway scheme approval is expected to be finalised by Q4 2024 with construction works to begin in 2026. The MRT 3 Circle Line project is expected to be completed with the commencement of operations by 2032.
