Living in the Klang Valley means that you’d probably have heard and/or made use of the Klang Valley Integrated Transit System, which serves the area, and part of Greater Kuala Lumpur.
For this guide, we’ll be taking a closer look at the Sri Petaling Line, which forms part of this system.
A brief introduction to the Sri Petaling LRT Line
The Sri Petaling line runs on a route between the Sentul Timur and Chan Sow Lin stations, and shares part of its route with the Ampang Line.
In this shared section, every station serves as an interchange. This lets commuters switch conveniently between the Sri Petaling and Ampang lines.
The original system was named STAR LRT (Sistem Transit Aliran Ringan), comprising of 25 stations along a 27.4km network. Built in two phases, they opened in December 1996, and July 1998.
When the operations of the lines were transferred to Rapid KL in 2004, they were renamed to Ampang Line and Sri Petaling Line respectively the following year.

Well, getting a home that’s near an MRT/LRT line is a dream for many homeowners. However, there’s such a thing as too near – there’s the risk of noise pollution, or lack of privacy.
