Stations
Elevated station concepts
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, .i.e. the entrance space at a traditional “rumah kampung” or “rumah panjang”. The design opted is a simple. timeless design, which is derived from various design concepts, including that of the Japanese “Zen” concept. Other aspects include open space, natural lighting & ventilation, and natural visual effects via play of lighting & shadows.[42]
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.[42]
Alignment
Following the initial proposal during the public display period, 37 stations have been approved along 52.2 km of track.[43]
The stations listed below are as displayed on the government website for the draft environmental impact assessment.[44] All the station names are interim and subject to change.
28 (23 elevated + 1 half-sunken + 4 underground) out of 35 stations (excluding the ones on the Kajang Line) are expected to have feeder bus services.
