KL Monorail

KL Monorail Trainset

KL Monorail is the only functioning monorail service in Malaysia. It serves mainly Kuala Lumpur’s golden triangle area.

Opened on August 31st 2003, the construction was done at a cost of RM 1.18 billion by KL Infrastructure Group (KL Infra). After a series of takeovers, it is now operated by KL Star Rail, a fully-owned subsidiary of Syarikat Prasarana Negara Berhad (SPNB).

History

KL StarRail Sdn. Bhd used to be the operator for this rail line.

 

Stations / Stops

When KL Monorail service initially started, it operates with just two-carriage monorails. However, all stations are constructed to accommodate four-carriage monorail sets. Therefore, when four-car monorail sets were introduced recently, no major renovations were needed for the stations. All stations are at above-grade level.
