The new Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system starts from Sungai Buloh to Kajang with an expected date of 2016. The Klang Valley MRT will have 35 stations from the north of the Klang Valley (Sg Buloh) to the south side in Kajang. The KVMRT Sungai Buloh – Kajang Line will run from Sungai Buloh cutting through the Kuala Lumpur City Center to Kajang, a distance of 156 kilometers (of which 9.5km is underground). The weird thing is that this new Malaysia MRT project will bypass certain high density areas like Klang, or Shah Alam.

Some more info on this new Klang Valley MRT project:

•A new mass rapid transit (MRT) system with a price tag of at least RM35 billion

•Three-line mass rapid transit (MRT) system

•It aims to integrate the monorail and light rail transit (LRT) systems, the MRT lines will also connect the northwest and southeast of the Klang Valley

•One of the lines will run through Sungai Buloh, Kota Damansara, Kuala Lumpur and Cheras until Kajang,

•Another line will connect Sungai Buloh, Kepong, Kuala Lumpur and Serdang, the third line will loop around

•Malaysian Resources Corp Bhd may have to redesign an upcoming development to facilitate this MRT line

•The MRT lines will be mostly underground with stops every 500m to 1km in high-traffic areas like the Golden Triangle in Kuala Lumpur

•It may take as long as 10 years to be completed

•Research houses do not expect the MRT project to kick off soon even if it gets the go-ahead as the LRT extension project has not been awarded yet

•It remains unclear if the new MRT line would replace or be in addition to the proposed Kota Damansara-Cheras line

•Gamuda Bhd and MMC Corp Bhd had submitted a joint proposal to the government

•It is understood that MMC-Gamuda had made an unsolicited offer to build and design the MRT system. The Edge Daily yesterday (June 7, 2010) reported both firms are bidding separately but government officials say both made a joint bid

•Although the original proposal was submitted by Gamuda and MMC Corp, the project will be open to bidding

•The government is considering the use of a “Swiss Challenge” philosophy to tender the project out with MMC-Gamuda maintaining an advantage in being awarded the contract

•The joint venture would only be involved in the “design-build” phase as contractors and would undertake almost no risk. Syarikat Prasarana Negara Berhad, the national infrastructure company, would ultimately own and operate the MRT line

•The huge price tag of “at least RM35 billion” for the MRT system could also rise further because it is understood that a major portion of the system would be underground. Some underground sections of the new line being proposed would be constructed near or parallel to the existing underground sections of the Kelana Jaya Light Rail Transit (LRT) line. But the new line would be underneath the LRT subway, escalating cost further.
