The MRT Putrajaya Line, also known as PYL, will be officially launched tomorrow by prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. The line is 57.7 km long with 36 stations and has been operating since June 2022.
will be officially launched tomorrow, March 16, by prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim at the Serdang MRT depot, and trains will be open to public at 3pm.We’ll bring you updates from the launch, but here’s all you need to know about the MRT Putrajaya Line, or PYL as they call it internally. MRT Corp held a media preview yesterday where we were learned all about the new line from them and Rapid Rail, sampled the train and stations, and enjoyed fresh views of familiar places from above.
Of the 57.7 km, 44.2 km is elevated, while 13.5 km of the alignment – in the city centre – is underground. There are nine stations below ground, and they are from Sentul Barat to Chan Sow Lin. The stations between these two are Titiwangsa , Hospital Kuala Lumpur, Raja Uda , Ampang Park, Persiaran KLCC, Conlay and Tun Razak Exchange .
Before I share the train/station experience, let’s talk about Park & Ride and feeder buses, as getting to the MRT station is an important part of the commute. Rapid KL says that there are 31 feeder bus routes covering over 350 km, so there are no shortage of buses to ferry you to stations. Fares are from RM1 to RM2.40 and concession card holders get 50% off. If there’s a route that passes yourIf buses aren’t your thing, you can always drive to the station.
The PYL trains are distinctive. A cute red face with a ‘duck bill’ has brought about the nickname ‘Duckie’; perhaps Rapid could have painted the bill yellow to match the doors and to double down on the duck look! This is in contrast with the MRT Kajang Line’s sleek, futuristic look, a difference that is also reflected in the station design – SBK stations look moreIt’s more than just aesthetics, though.
Browse the gallery below for shots of the PYL stations, facilities, train and also views of neighbourhoods and landmarks from the elevated portion of the track. Some of you might even spot your home. Also check out thefeaturing train users from all walks of life – office lady to fitness guy. We hope that you enjoyed this rather different kind of review from theDanny Tan loves driving as much as he loves a certain herbal meat soup, and sweet engine music as much as drum beats.
