The MRT Putrajaya Line is the second line of the KVMRT Project to be developed after the successful completion of first line — MRT Kajang Line in July 2017. It is a part of the larger rail transport system in Kuala Lumpur known as the Klang Valley Integrated Transit System.
The MRT Putrajaya Line is intended to serve a corridor with a population of around 2 million people stretching from Kwasa Damansara, a new township development in northwest Kuala Lumpur, spanning densely populated areas such as Sri Damansara, Kepong, Batu, Jalan Ipoh, Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, Jalan Tun Razak, KLCC, Tun Razak Exchange, Kuchai Lama, Seri Kembangan and Cyberjaya, to its southern suburbs, and finally to Putrajaya, Malaysia’s federal administrative centre.
Once completed, it is expected to have a ridership of 533,000 passengers per day.
The MRT Putrajaya alignment will have a length of 57.7km, consisting of 44.2km of elevated tracks and 13.5km running through underground tunnels.
It will have 39 operational stations of which 30 are elevated and 9 underground. A further 4 stations have been provided for the future.
The MRT Putrajaya Line accommodates 10 interchange stations and connecting stations, making it much easier for commuters to transfer from the Putrajaya Line to existing and future rail lines, including the future Kuala Lumpur – Singapore High Speed Rail.
Of all the 39 operational stations, 18 stations will have park and ride facilities.



For the MRT Putraline Line, the total travel time from end to end is estimated to be 85 minutes. And total time for a trip from Putrajaya Sentral MRT station to Ampark Park MRT station is estimated to be 46 minutes.
The ground breaking ceremony, which was officiated by then Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak, was held at the site of the future Putrajaya Sentral Station on 15 September 2016, marking the commencement of construction works of the MRT Putrajaya Line.
The MRT Putrajaya Line construction cost was reduced by RM8.82 billion from RM39.35 billion to RM30.53 billion, as a result of a cost rationalisation exercise for mega infrastructure projects in 2018.

Elevated station concepts
For the MRT Putrajaya Line, 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.
Compared to the elevated station design on the MRT Kajang Line, the columns have been pushed to the sides of the station, giving the stations an open and airy feel.



Underground station concepts
For the MRT Putrajaya Line, each of the underground stations will carry its own individual theme, similar to that of the MRT 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.

Trains and rolling stock
Unlike the MRT Kajang Line which uses Siemens Inspiro train sets, the MRT Putrajaya Line uses Hyundai-Rotem train sets that come with a distinctive duck face design in red.
The new MRT line will have a total of 49 driverless train sets consisting of four cars with a maximum capacity of 1,204 passengers per train.
The trains have a maximum speed of 100km/h and they will operate with a frequency of 3.5 minutes during peak hours.




Exterior design
The train’s exterior image takes into consideration the specific view of the train when entering the station and along the platform.
The colour livery strongly emphasises the powerful expression of the front-end style.
The front-end mask is made of strongly structured shapes and volumes, expressing decision, safety and confidence.

Interior design
The gangway area is wide and open for easy circulation as well as using the latest generation to offer the sensation of uninterrupted passenger area all through the train.
Handrails and grab handles are located at altitudes compatible for reach and comfort of all passengers.
The seats are in assortment of blue colours to bring visual animation and echoes the Putrajaya lake surroundings.
The draught screens are straightforward, no-nonsense for optimised traveller protection and their lightly tinted glass are of contrasting clear pattern for subtlety.
The ceiling pattern makes use of subtle graphic effects of matte and shine.
The grab poles and rails bear a sharply contrasting yet matching colour for better visibility.
