THE Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) project involves the construction of a railway network that will form the backbone of the Klang Valley’s public transport system. It is a crucial component of the Greater Kuala Lumpur/Klang Valley National Key Economic Area (Greater KL/KV NKEA) and is the largest infrastructure project in the country.
Once completed, the MRT will significantly improve the coverage of rail-based public transport in the Klang Valley, enabling 50% of all trips here to be done on public transport by 2020 compared to the current 17%.
