KLCC LRT station is an underground rapid transit station in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, served by the Kelana Jaya Line.

Contents

It is located at the basement of Avenue K, a shopping mall along Jalan Ampang. A pedestrian subway links the station to Suria KLCC and the rest of the KLCC development which includes the Petronas Twin Towers, Maxis Tower and the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. Located outside the station, along Jalan Ampang and Jalan P Ramlee, is the KLCC bus hub.

Located right in the middle of the city center, it is close to many landmarks, making it one of the busiest stations on the LRT system. It is packed especially on weekends and school holidays.

The pedestrian walkway linking between the Petronas Twin Towers and Pavilion Kuala Lumpur shopping centre in Bukit Bintang was added in January 2012, thus linking this station with the nearby  MR7  Raja Chulan Monorail station,  MR6  Bukit Bintang Monorail station and  KG18A  Bukit Bintang MRT station.

Layout

The station consists of three levels, with the entrance on ground level while the ticketing area, concourse and platforms are underground.
