The MRT Circle Line, also known as MRT 3, is a proposed thirteenth rail transit line, the third Mass Rapid Transit line and the fifth fully automated and driverless rail system in the Klang Valley, Malaysia. Once completed, this line would form the loop line of the Klang Valley Integrated Transit System . The director of this project is currently Tuan Haji Mohd Yusof Kasiron. [3] The circle line will be numbered 13 and coloured blue violet on official transit maps. [4] Before 4 July 2024, the circle line was coloured grey on its official alignment map. [5]
It is one of three planned mass rapid transit (MRT) rail lines under the Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit Project by MRT Corp. The MRT Circle Line is expected to form a loop line circling but not entering Kuala Lumpur's central business district, while linking up the radial rail lines. Interest in building the line resurfaced in early 2015; [6] the project was shelved by former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad in May 2018 [7] [8] but was later on revived in November 2020. [9] Constructions are expected to begin in 2026 and slated for full operation by 2032. The estimated construction cost is expected to be in line with the MRT Putrajaya Line which will be around RM31 billion while the land acquisition cost is estimated to be at RM8.4 billion. [10]
With 50.8 km (31.6 mi) of rail alignment, a total of 32 stations, which will consist of 25 elevated and 7 underground stations will be built. The circle line is expected to stretch while forming a loop from Bukit Kiara to PPUM and it will include densely populated areas such as Mont Kiara, Segambut, KL Metropolis, Titiwangsa, Setapak, Setiawangsa, Ampang, Salak South, Pandan Indah, Pantai Dalam, Cheras and Universiti Malaya.
On the morning of 4 July 2024, the infographic alignment map on MRT Corp official website was updated to show its new purple colour scheme, but did not include Mont Kiara station on its alignment. [4] There will be a total of 32 stations (25 elevated + 7 underground), 3 of which are provisional stations. It will also be served by 2 depots. All of the station names are interim and subject to change.
