LRT3 Shah Alam Line opening could be delayed until Oct 31 due to testing and commissioning activities

According to a report by The Star, the Light Rail Transit 3 (LRT3) Shah Alam Line could miss its widely expected September 30, 2025 opening date. This is after Prasarana took to Facebook last week to announce it is currently conducting 24-hour train testing and commissioning activities along the stretch from the Bandar Utama station to its depot in Johan Setia.

At present, the Facebook post (below) dated July 25 does not state how long these processes will take. However, netizens were quick to point out that the post was edited, with an earlier version of the post indicating these processes will go on until October 31, 2025, which is a month past the September 30 opening date.

As of the end of July this year, the project was revealed to be 99.21% completed. Transport minister Anthony Loke revealed the cost of the project now stands at RM21.93 billion, which is RM9.72 billion less than the originally approved cost of RM31.65 billion when the project was first introduced in 2015.

When completed, the line will feature 25 stations from Bandar Utama to Johan Setia, with interchanges located at the Bandar Utama (MRT Kajang) and Glenmarie (LRT Kelana Jaya) stations.
