The MRT Sungai Buloh–Kajang line, or known as SBK Line, is the ninth rail transit line and the second fully automated and driverless rail system in the Klang Valley area, Malaysia after the . It is a part of Greater KL/Klang Valley Integrated Transit System . The line is numbered and coloured Green on official transit maps.

It is one of three planned rail lines under Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit Project by MRT Corp. The Phase 1 between and commenced service on 16 December 2016. ^[3] Phase 2 between Muzium Negara and Kajang was opened on 17 July 2017, as a free shuttle service, by former Malaysian Prime Minister, Dato' Seri Najib Tun Razak in a ceremony at the Tun Razak Exchange station. Full revenue service between Sungai Buloh and Kajang began the following day. ^{[4] [5] [6]}

Background

MRT SBK real time passenger information display system (PIDS)

The elevated stations along the entire stretch were retrofitted with platform edge doors (PED) similar to SBK14 station.

SBK04 station is the one of interchange station between the MRT lines.

The MRT Sungai Buloh–Kajang line is the first of the three planned Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit lines to be constructed, with estimated contract value of MYR36 billion. ^[7]

The line starts from Sungai Buloh which is located to the north-west of Kuala Lumpur, runs through the city centre of Kuala Lumpur, and ends in Kajang, a fast developing town located to the south-east of Kuala Lumpur. The line serves a corridor with an estimated population of 1.2 million people. ^[7]

Announced in 2006, the line was initially planned as a LRT at 43 km in length, linking the densely populated areas of Damansara in the northwest and Cheras in the southeast, through the central business district of Kuala Lumpur city.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 to an MRT system, with higher capacity trains. ^[8]

The line is operated by a subsidiary of Prasarana Malaysia Berhad, Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd, which already runs the Ampang Line, the Kelana Jaya Line and KL Monorail. ^[9]

Line information

Alignment

The first MRT line covers a span of 51 kilometres from Sungai Buloh to the Kajang, passing the Kuala Lumpur city centre where the alignment goes underground. The line will be serving a corridor with 1.2 million residents within the Klang Valley region from north-west to the south-east of Kuala Lumpur.

Amendments after public display

After the MRT project was formally launched on 8 July 2011, the following amendments have been made to the original proposed alignment following the public display exercise between March and May 2011: ^[10]

• 31 stations instead of 35 stations will be built and provisions have been made for 3 more stations
  • Future station 1 (RRI) located between and stations
  • Future station 2 (Teknologi) located between and stations
  • Future station 3 (Bukit Kiara) located between and stations
• The proposed Section 17 was dropped
• The location of the proposed TTDI station was moved around 300m southwards to the former Caltex petrol stations. This was due to complaints from Taman Tun Dr Ismail and Damansara Kim residents. ^[11]
• Bukit Bintang East and West stations have been combined into one, moved and integrated with KL Monorail station. The station was named Bukit Bintang Central Station and subsequently Bukit Bintang Station.
• Park and Ride facilities has been increased to 16 from 13 previously.
• Taman Mesra station has been removed.
• Adjustments to the alignment:
  • Shifting alignment into the former Rubber Research Institute of Malaysia land in Sungai Buloh to cater for future development
  • Adjusting the alignment adjacent to Bandar Kajang station to avoid going through the town centre and through Kajang Stadium.

Services and rolling stock

According to MRT Corp, the four-car train sets are servicing the line with an average headway of 3.5 minutes in an hour, equivalent to 400,000 passengers per day. ^[12]

The rolling stock is manufactured by Siemens/CSR Nanjing Puzhen in a partnership with SMH Rail Consortium Sdn Bhd. The trains will be driverless with a capacity of 1,200 passengers in a 4-car trainsets formation. The Siemens Inspiro rolling stock will be supplied with the same configuration as the trainsets supplied for Warsaw Metro M1. ^[13]

Car length (over coupler): 18.6 m to 20.1 m

Number of passenger doors per car side / door width: 4 / 1400 mm

Traction power supply: 750 VDC, 3rd rail

The 4-car trainsets are maintained at 2 purpose built facilities, Sungai Buloh and Kajang depots, located nearby and stations respectively. ^[14]

2016	Dec	N/A	Phase One opened on 16 Dec 2016 but ridership was not officially tabulated

In the second quarter of 2018, the ridership is a little short of 12 million, where an overall rising trend is followed. However, the line is deemed to have inadequate ridership to cover the construction, operation and maintenance costs. The target of 250,000 passengers on a daily basis is to be met to prevent a loss in operation. ^[15]

Depots

There are two maintenance depots for the SBK Line, namely the Sungai Buloh depot and Kajang depots. The former is accessible by trains to the north of Kwasa Damansara station, while the latter is located near Sungai Jernih, where trains access the depot from Bukit Dukung instead. ^{[16] [17]}

History

In August 2006, The LRT Kota Damansara–Cheras (Kota Damansara) line proposal was first made known to the public by the then deputy Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak under a RM10 billion government allocation for the improvement and expansion of the public transportation network in Klang Valley. The line is also targeted to alleviate traffic congestion in the Klang Valley by encouraging more commuters to opt for public transport. ^{[note 1]} It is also aimed to reduce overcrowding on the KL Monorail Line and provide an alternative transport mode due to rising fuel prices. ^[19] It is estimated to be approximately 30km in length. ^[18] This is planned in-line with the extension of the LRT Kelana Jaya Line, and Ampang and Sri Petaling Lines (formerly known as PUTRA and STAR LRT respectively), to USJ and Puchong respectively and converging at Putra Heights. ^[19] The combined cost of the new line and the proposed extensions were estimated at RM7 billion. Syarikat Prasarana Nasional Berhad (SPNB) was in charge of the construction of these lines. The Kota Damansara line was planned to be served by 140 coaches, and the track gauge to be almost similar to existing LRT lines. ^[20] The Ministry of Transport had approved the alignment of the new line in July 2007 which would then be tabled to the Cabinet for approval. ^[21] The Finance Ministry Parliamentary Secretary announced that the line from Kota Damansara to Cheras and Balakong would be completed by 2012. ^[22] The line would comprise of 40km, serving densely populated areas in Damansara and Cheras via "The Golden Triangle" of Kuala Lumpur city. ^{[note 2]} The alignment was to be from Persiaran Surian to the Balakong Interchange on the Cheras—Kajang Expressway, passing through the Damansara—Puchong Expressway, Sprint Highway, the city, Jalan Tun Razak and Jalan Cheras, stopping at around 30 stations. Ownership of the line belongs to SPNB, and would be operated by RapidKL. The estimated construction cost is between RM4 billion and RM5 billion. ^[19]

In September 2008, Executive Director of SPNB said that a 5.9 km section of the line in Central Kuala Lumpur will be underground, serving 5 stations. However, the locations of underground stations were not announced. It was during this time that the line was said to be 42 km with 32 stations in total, which would serve areas of Bandar Utama, Bangsar, KL Sentral, Bukit Bintang, Bandar Tasik Selatan and Cheras. The line was being considered for as a Mass Rapid Transit system after taking into consideration the catchment area serving a population of 878,000. It was also reported that the detailed design stage for the line would commence in the second quarter of 2009 and the opening date is expected to be in 2014. ^{[24] [note 3]}

On 14 September 2009, SPNB managing director Datuk Idrose Mohamed was reported as saying that the new line could end up longer than the earlier announced alignment although he did not offer any further details. A public display of the alignment was launched a day after the announcement. SPNB has raised the necessary funds from Islamic investments of RM2 billion and hopes to gain approval from the Ministry of Transport to call out for tenders. ^[26] In April 2010, a proposal to extend the line by 16 km was being studied by the government. ^{[note 4]} The proposal includes extensions from Kota Damansara to Sungai Buloh (additional 3 km) and from Cheras to Kajang (additional 9 km). This is to provide convenient interchanges to the existing Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) stations at Sungai Buloh and Kajang, as well as supporting the upcoming development of some 3000–acre land in Sungai Buloh. An additional branch line from Damansara Utama to Kelana Jaya (additional 4 km) aimed to relieve congestion on the Lebuhraya Damansara—Puchong (LDP) Highway was also being studied, bringing the total length of the line to 59 km. ^[27]
