Now known as the LRT Shah Alam Line, the LRT3 mission is predicted to be accomplished and open to the general public by March 2025. The 37.8 km line is ready to have 20 stations linking Bandar Utama in Petaling Jaya to Johan Setia in Klang.

Curiously, simply this very week, transport minister Anthony Loke instructed the Dewan Rakyat that electrical buses are “too costly” for the Malaysian authorities. Prices for buying EV buses are double that of typical buses, and that “if it have been doable, we might need all bus fleets to be EV bus fleets,” he stated.

How the 150 new electrical buses introduced in Funds 2024 will match this plan stays to be seen.
