Let’s find out more about the Ampang LRT Line

The Ampang Line – named for its terminus, Ampang Station – runs on a route between the Sentul Timur and Chan Sow Lin stations.
On this line, every station acts as an interchange, allowing commuters to switch between the Ampang and Sri Petaling lines.
The original system was named STAR LRT (Sistem Transit Aliran Ringan), comprising 25 stations along a 27.4km network, and built in two phases.
