=== Review === In July 2025, the project was reported to be in the feasibility study stage. Tentatively, the project is to be divided into two phases; with the first spanning from [[Labu, Negeri Sembilan|Labu]] in Negeri Sembilan to [[Puncak Alam]], while the second phase from Puncak Alam to Sabak Bernam.<ref name=":0" /> The initial proposal had already been presented to the [[Ministry of Transport (Malaysia)|Ministry of Transport]] who welcomed the proposal.
[[Prasarana Malaysia|Prasarana]] expressed its readiness to provide technical expertise for the project, citing its extensive experience in rail operations domestically and abroad.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-12-29 |title=Perkembangan pengoperasian LRT3 dimaklumkan sekitar Januari 2026 |url=https://www.astroawani.com/berita-malaysia/perkembangan-pengoperasian-lrt3-dimaklumkan-sekitar-januari-2026-553478 |access-date=2026-01-18 |website=Astro Awani |language=ms}}</ref>
== Overview ==
=== Route === According to the feasibility studies, the proposed rail line would have a total length of approximately 211 kilometres. The main alignment is planned to span [[Sabak Bernam District|Sabak Bernam]] in the northwest of Selangor, passing through [[Sepang]], and extending southwards towards [[Negeri Sembilan]].<ref name=":1" /> Several spur lines have been proposed to connect strategic locations including Westport, [[Klang (city)|Klang]], [[Putra Heights]], and Universiti Selangor (UNISEL) in [[Bestari Jaya]].<ref name=":1" /> The proposed rail line is expected to provide a direct connection to major industrial and transportation hubs such as the planned Selangor Aero Park, [[Kuala Lumpur International Airport|Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA)]], [[Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport|Subang Airport]], [[Port Klang]] and [[Carey Island]].<ref name="Bernama2025" /><ref name="NSTAero" /><ref name="BernamaAlignment">{{cite news |date=2025-07-30 |title=Kita Selangor Rail Project Enters Strategic Financing And investment Phase |url=https://www.bernama.com/en/news.php?id=2451298 |work=Bernama}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Keadilan |first=Suara |date=2025-07-02 |title=MB: 'Kita Selangor Rail' bakal perkukuh jaringan rel Lembah Klang |url=https://www.suarakeadilan.my/post/mb-kita-selangor-rail-bakal-perkukuh-jaringan-rel-lembah-klang |access-date=2026-01-17 |website=Suara Keadilan |language=en}}</ref>
The project is also intended to integrate with existing and future rail infrastructure, including a potential connection with the [[East Coast Rail Link]] (ECRL), to enhance inter-regional connectivity within Peninsular Malaysia.<ref name="BusinessTodayECRL">{{cite news |title=Selangor plans to connect its proposed rail line with ECRL |url=https://www.businesstoday.com.my/2024/10/29/selangor-plans-to-connect-its-own-proposed-rail-line-with-ecrl/ |work=Business Today |date=29 October 2024}}</ref><ref name="BusinessToday2024">{{cite news |date=8 July 2024 |title=Proposed new rail line could transform northern Selangor towns |url=https://www.businesstoday.com.my/2024/07/08/proposed-new-rail-line-could-transform-northern-selangor-towns/ |work=Business Today}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite web |last=Priya |first=Sheila Sri |date=2025-02-20 |title=Selangor Kita Rail Line completion expected in 10 years |url=https://www.thestar.com.my/metro/metro-news/2025/02/20/selangor-kita-rail-line-completion-expected-in-10-years |access-date=2026-01-17 |website=The Star |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Clark |first=James |date=2025-02-20 |title=Selangor Rail Line: proposed railway along the North Selangor coast |url=https://futuresoutheastasia.com/selangor-rail-line/ |access-date=2026-01-18 |website=futuresoutheastasia.com |language=en-US}}</ref>
=== Service === The Kita Selangor Rail Line is envisioned as a mixed-use rail line capable of carrying both passengers and freight. The trains are expected to significantly shorten travel times compared to road transport. State officials have indicated that the line could support logistics movements between ports, airports and industrial zones, in addition to daily commuter travel.<ref name="NSTAero">{{cite news |title=Amirudin moots Selangor rail project to boost aerospace development |url=https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2025/06/1226386/amirudin-moots-selangor-rail-project-boost-aerospace-development |work=New Straits Times |date=2025}}</ref><ref name="BusinessToday2024" /><ref name=":2" />
The trains are planned to reach up to 160 km/h, hence potentially shortening travel from northernmost end of the line Sabak Bernam to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) from two hours and 41 minutes (by car) to one hour and 42 minutes (by rail).<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-02-19 |title=Selangor Rail Line to roll out in phases over 10 years, state assembly told |url=https://www.thestar.com.my/metro/metro-news/2025/02/19/selangor-rail-line-to-roll-out-in-phases-over-10-years-state-assembly-told |access-date=2026-01-18 |website=The Star |language=en}}</ref>
