The Prime Minister of Malaysia Dato’ Sri Najib Tun Razak led the ground breaking ceremony for the construction of MRT Sungai Buloh–Serdang-Putrajaya (SSP) Line, in Klang Valley, Kuala Lumpur.
The SSP Line will have a length of 52.2 km and 37 stations, of which 11 are underground stations. The line will run from Sungai Buloh to Putrajaya through Kepong, Batu, Jalan Ipoh, Titiwangsa, KLCC, Tun Razak Exchange, Bandar Malaysia, Sungai Besi, Serdang, UPM and Cyberjaya.
“We had earlier not focused enough on the development of public transport. This lack of focus has unfortunately led to us suffering some of the consequences today, with traffic congestion not only in the Klang Valley but in many cities and even highways outside this area,” Prime Minister said.
Phase one of MRT SSP Line from Sungai Buloh to Kampung Batu
is expected to be operational by the second quarter of 2021, while the line is expected to be fully operational by the second quarter of 2022.
Once operational, the MRT SSP Line is expected to have a daily ridership of 529,000 passengers.
