LRT Ampang Line

LRT Ampang Line

LRT Ampang Line is one of the two light rail transit lines operated by RapidKL. Also known simply as Ampang Line, it comprises one major line which branches out into two sublines. The main line starts from Sentul Timur LRT Terminal and goes to Chan Sow Lin LRT Station. From there, it forks into two branches, one ending at Ampang LRT Terminal and the other at the Sri Petaling LRT Terminal.

All the stations on the Ampang Line are either above ground or at grade. There are no underground stations. The Ampang Line was originally known as STAR LRT until it was taken over by Syarikat Prasarana Negara Berhad, the infrastructure company belonging to the Ministry of Finance, and management of the line was transferred to RapidKL.

In the map above, the Ampang Line is colour coded  red  for easy recognition.

Extensions to the Ampang LRT Line

In August, 2006, it was announced that the Sri Petaling line will be extended to reach the suburb of Puchong. After years of studies, construction of the line is expected to begin in 2010, and the line is due for completion in 2012.

In preparation for the extension, the Station Codes for the Ampang Line have been revised. The current Station Code is SP13 (Sri Petaling) to SP31 (Chan Sow Lin). The Station Code for the branch is numbered from Ampang, with AG1 and ends with Ampang (AG7). Chan Sow Lin LRT Station is the interchange between the two branches of the line.

Four new stations are expected to be operational by Q4 2015. They are the Awan Besar, Muhibbah, Alam Sutera and Kinrara BK 5 LRT Stations. The remainder will be operational by Q3 2016, when the link will terminate at the Putra Heights LRT Station, which will serve as a cross-platform interchange with the Kelana Indah Line, also undergoing extension.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
