After much evaluation and studies, the government then decided to extend the alignment at both ends to Sungai Buloh and Kajang respectively, adding 8 km to the line for a total of 51 km.
In addition, the line was changed from LRT to the MRT system, with higher capacity trains.
Phase One of the MRT Kajang Line from Sungai Buloh MRT station to Semantan MRT station began operations on 16 December 2016.
