Route of Putrajaya line

The MRT Putrajaya Line, also known as MRT 2, is the second Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) line in Klang Valley, Malaysia, and the third fully automated and driverless rail system in the country. It was previously known as the Sungai Buloh–Serdang–Putrajaya Line (SSP) Line. The line stretches from Kwasa Damansara to Putrajaya and runs through densely populated areas such as Sri Damansara, Kepong, Batu, Jalan Ipoh, Sentul, Kampung Baru, Jalan Tun Razak, KLCC, Tun Razak Exchange, Kuchai Lama, Seri Kembangan and Cyberjaya.

Phase 1 operations of the line between Kwasa Damansara and Kampung Batu commenced on 16 June 2022.[3] While the Phase 2 which covers the remaining of the line including the underground stretch was opened on 16 March 2023.[4]

The line is numbered 12 and coloured yellow on official transit maps.

The line was developed and is owned by MRT Corp but operated as part of the Rapid KL network by Rapid Rail. It also forms part of the Klang Valley Integrated Transit System.

The line, totalling 57.7 km (35 miles 68 chains) in length, includes 5.5 km (3.4 mi) annexed from the MRT Kajang Line, making it the longest metro line in Malaysia. The line includes a 13.5 km (8.4 mi) underground section. A total of 37 stations, 11 of them underground, were built.

The only half-sunken station; Jalan Ipoh MRT station along with its pedestrian bridge in the background

Route

The MRT starts in  KG04   PY01  Kwasa Damansara where it annexed the section from here to  KA08   PY04  Sungai Buloh from the MRT Kajang Line. From Sungai Buloh, the line runs parallel with the KTM Komuter line to  KA07   PY08  Kepong Sentral/Sri Damansara Timur. However, there are a few stations the MRT line between the two which is not served by the KTM.

The MRT then continues towards the towns of Kepong and Jinjang. As of the first phase, the Putrajaya line ends at  KC03   PY13  Kampung Batu. At  PY15  Jalan Ipoh, the line starts going underground while Jalan Ipoh itself being the only station on the network to be half-sunken/sub-surface. The line carries under the Ipoh Road to  AG3   SP3   MR11   PY17  Titiwangsa which will interchange with the LRT Ampang/Sri Petaling and KL Monorail lines. The line then runs under the  PY18  Hospital Kuala Lumpur and meets the LRT Kelana Jaya line (also underground) at  KJ9   PY20  Ampang Park.  PY21  Persiaran KLCC serves as a second station in the KLCC subdistrict, itself also served by the LRT Kelana Jaya Line. The line continues to  KG20   PY23  Tun Razak Exchange, interchanging with the Kajang line. The Putrajaya Line reunites with the Ampang/Sri Petaling line at  AG11   SP11   PY24  Chan Sow Lin.

After thru provisional Bandar Malaysia North and South stations, the MRT Putrajaya line resurfaces at  PY27  Kuchai. Once again, the line meets with the LRT Sri Petaling line at  SP16   PY29  Sungai Besi,[5] then continuing to serve Serdang. Following this, the line briefly parallels KTM and KLIA Transit (airport express) until  PY32  Serdang Raya Selatan, and veers off to Universiti Putra Malaysia and the Seri Kembangan subdistrict. The MRT line then enters Sepang constituency, having 3 stops including two in Cyberjaya, before ending at  KT3   PY41  Putrajaya Sentral, where it interchanges with KLIA Transit. The station may be integrated with the proposed Putrajaya Monorail in the future. Putrajaya Sentral will also be the southernmost station under the Rapid KL rail network.[6]

Station designs

Elevated station concepts

All stations are fitted with platform screen doors (PSD), as seen here at Sri Damansara Sentral station.

The proposed design for the elevated stations is based on the “Serambi” concept. This concept is focused on the inspiring interaction and communication at a foyer or entrance space of a house such as the entrance space at a traditional rumah kampung or rumah panjang. The design opted is a simple and timeless design, which is derived from various design concepts, including that of the Japanese zen concept. Other aspects include open space, natural lighting and ventilation, and natural visual effects via play of lighting and shadows.[57]

Compared to the Kajang Line's elevated station design, the columns have been pushed to the sides of the station, giving the stations an open and airy feel.

Underground station concepts

Each of the underground stations will carry its own individual theme, similar to that of the Kajang Line stations. The proposed designs range from preserving the rustic, reflecting tidal rhythm, promoting well-being, vibrancy, pulse of life, discovering culture, molding forms, inspired by nature to streamlined flow.[57]

28 (23 elevated + 1 half-sunken + 4 underground) out of 35 stations (excluding the ones on the MRT Kajang Line) are expected to have feeder bus services.

Kwasa Damansara station, along with the adjoining Sungai Buloh and Kampung Selamat stations were previously built as part of the MRT Kajang Line. These three stations are currently annexed by the Putrajaya Line, thus making Kwasa Damansara the interchange station between the two MRT lines.

Criticism

Inaccessibility of stations and inadequate first and last mile connectivity has been criticized by potential users of the new MRT line - a problem which has already led to lower than expected ridership on other public transport lines in the Klang Valley. For example, the Cyberjaya stations were located further away from the main town centre.[64]
