It was announced by [[Prasarana Malaysia]] in 2013 and work began in 2016. Construction was halted in 2018 for a review that followed the [[2018 Malaysian general election|change of government]] and concerns over funding. The project was later revived after it was reclassified from a [[rapid transit]] line to a [[light metro]]. Its expected completion was moved from 2020 to 2024. Continued delays then pushed the projected completion date through 2025 and eventually into 2026.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.malaysia-chronicle.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=91022:shah-alam-lrt-link-in-pipeline&Itemid=3#axzz2nMbOGznV |title= Shah Alam LRT link in pipeline |publisher=Malaysia Chronicle |access-date=2013-04-24}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bidocean.asia/Asia-tender-business-news/99293-MY--Malaysia-to-Add-a-New-LRT-Line-to-Klang.html |title=MY – Malaysia to Add a New LRT Line to Klang? |publisher=Bid Ocean Network |access-date=2013-05-30 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20131213142701/http://www.bidocean.asia/Asia-tender-business-news/99293-MY--Malaysia-to-Add-a-New-LRT-Line-to-Klang.html |archive-date=2013-12-13 |url-status=usurped }}</ref>

Once completed, the line will form part of the '''[[Klang Valley Integrated Transit System]]'''. It is numbered 11 and coloured sky blue on official transit maps. The line is one of four rapid transit lines in the Klang Valley that does not serve [[KL Sentral]], the other three being the [[Ampang Line]], [[Sri Petaling Line]] and the [[Putrajaya Line]], as well as the first rapid transit line in the Klang Valley that is entirely outside the borders of the [[Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur]].

==History==

=== Initial proposal === In May 2014, the Shah Alam LRT was proposed to begin from Bandar Utama, [[Kelana Jaya]], running through areas of Glenmarie, HICOM-Glenmarie Industrial Park, [[Shah Alam Stadium]], [[Shah Alam]] city centre, [[Universiti Teknologi Mara|UiTM]], [[I-City]], Bukit Raja Shopping Centre, Taman Eng Ann, Bandar Klang and then heading straight on to Johan Setia.<ref>{{cite web |title=Shah Alam LRT stops proposed |url=http://www.nst.com.my/nation/general/shah-alam-lrt-stops-proposed-1.487524 |access-date=2014-05-30 |publisher=NST}}</ref> This was later confirmed in October 2015 following the tabling of Budget 2015 where the Prime Minister announced that the government will provide RM9 billion to build an LRT project linking Bandar Utama to Shah Alam and [[Klang (city)|Klang]].<ref>{{cite web |title=LRT3 route agreed at over 35km between PJ and Klang |url=http://www.kinibiz.com/story/corporate/96519/lrt3-route-agreed-at-over-35km-between-pj-and-klang.html |access-date=2014-07-17 |publisher=KiniBiz}}</ref>

=== Reception of approval === In 2015, the public display of the line will was held for three months beginning in May at seven locations – the offices of the [[Shah Alam City Council]], [[Petaling Jaya City Council]], [[Land Public Transport Agency (Malaysia)|Land Public Transport Agency]], [[Klang Royal City Council]] (then known as Klang Municipal Council), as well as the {{lrts|Kelana Jaya}}, {{lrts|Masjid Jamek}}, and {{lrts|Pasar Seni}} LRT stations.<ref name="autogenerated1">{{cite news |author=Minderjeet Kaur |date=17 April 2015 |title=Sultan's nod for LRT Line 3 |publisher=[[New Straits Times]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Ali |first=Sharidan M |date=2015-04-11 |title=Prasarana says funding offer for LRT3 has to meet objectives – Business News | The Star Online |url=http://www.thestar.com.my/Business/Business-News/2015/04/11/Prasarana-says-funding-offer-for-LRT3-has-to-meet-objectives/?style=biz |access-date=2015-04-17 |publisher=Thestar.com.my}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Prasarana earmarks RM1 billion for land acquisition for LRT3 project |url=http://www.nst.com.my/node/81955 |publisher=NST Online}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=LRT 3 proposal put on display for public feedbacks |url=http://m.thestar.com.my/story.aspx?hl=LRT+3+proposal+put+on+display+for+public+feedbacks&sec=metro&id=%7B4220765C-8F36-4DD4-896B-9DC7CA963D88%7D |work=The Star Online |access-date=2015-05-14 |archive-date=2016-03-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304041800/http://m.thestar.com.my/story.aspx?hl=LRT+3+proposal+put+on+display+for+public+feedbacks&sec=metro&id=%7B4220765C-8F36-4DD4-896B-9DC7CA963D88%7D |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Prasarana Organises A Public Inspection Of Its Latest Light Rail Transit Line 3 (LRT3) Project |url=http://www.myrapid.com.my/media-centre/media-releases/2015/prasarana-organises-public-inspection-its-latest-light-rail-transit |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150515011041/http://www.myrapid.com.my/media-centre/media-releases/2015/prasarana-organises-public-inspection-its-latest-light-rail-transit |archive-date=2015-05-15 |access-date=2015-05-12 |publisher=MYrapid}}</ref> It was also announced that construction works were to start by Q1-2016.<ref>{{cite web |date=13 May 2015 |title=LRT3 works to start by 1Q16 |url=http://www.theedgemarkets.com/my/article/lrt3-works-start-1q16 |publisher=THE EDGE MARKETS}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Construction of LRT3 to start in 1Q |url=http://www.thestar.com.my/Business/Business-News/2015/05/12/Construction-of-LRT3-to-start-in-1Q/?style=biz |work=The Star Online}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=LRT3 construction work starts Q1 next year |url=http://www.thesundaily.my/news/1416436 |publisher=The Sun Daily}}</ref> In September 2015, Prasarana Malaysia Berhad announced that [[Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad]] ([[MRCB]]) and George Kent Sdn Bhd joint venture (JV) has been appointed as the Project Delivery Partner (PDP) for the LRT project.<ref>{{cite web |title=Prasarana partners MRCB, George Kent for LRT 3 project |url=http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/prasarana-partners-mrcb-george-kent-for-lrt-3-project |publisher=The Malaysian Insider}}</ref> In October 2015, Prasarana agreed to change the route of the LRT line, which was originally planned to cut through the housing area of Taman Muhibbah in [[Klang (city)|Klang]] to Pasar Besar Klang (Klang wet market) at Jalan Meru.

=== Project cost cutting and downgrade to light metro === {{See also|2018 Malaysian general election}} After the fall of the [[Barisan Nasional]] (BN)–led federal government in May 2018, the new [[Pakatan Harapan]] (PH)–led federal government, citing mounting national debt, proposed various cost cutting measures to a list of federal government projects, including the LRT3 project. The Lien Hoe, Temasya, SIRIM, Bukit Raja and Bandar Botanik stations were reclassified to provisional stations while the underground station of Persiaran Hishamuddin was cancelled. The reasons cited for the changes made were due to the high cost of the project, unnecessary tunneling for the underground portion of the line and low ridership in the area. The provisional stations however will be built once demand in the area picks up.<ref name="StationsShelved">{{cite news |date=13 July 2018 |title=Six LRT3 stations shelved: Are you affected? |url=https://www.malaysiakini.com/news/433908 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191218054207/https://www.malaysiakini.com/news/433908 |archive-date=18 December 2019 |access-date=26 January 2021 |publisher=malaysiakini}}</ref><ref name="StationsRationalized">{{cite news |date=26 July 2018 |title=Prasarana Malaysia Bhd to rationalise LRT3 project |url=https://www.nst.com.my/business/2018/07/394721/prasarana-malaysia-bhd-rationalise-lrt3-project#:~:text=These%20provisional%20stations%20are%20Lien,Bukit%20Raja%20and%20Bandar%20Botanic. |access-date=26 January 2021 |publisher=New Straits Times}}</ref>

Other cost-cutting exercises included the swapping of six-car trains for three-car trains, cutting down the total trains from 42 to 22, reducing the size of the stations to four-car length and ditching costly acceleration techniques. The completion date was also extended from 2020 to 2024.<ref name="StationsShelved" /><ref name="StationsRationalized" />

=== Numerous delays and reinstatement of provisional stations === [[File:SA01 Bandar Utama LRT Concourse 20260411 135152.jpg|thumb|Fare gates at the concourse level of [[Bandar Utama station]] for Shah Alam Line service]] The planned completion date of the entire line in 2024 as announced in 2018 was delayed for over two years due to the impact of the [[Malaysian movement control order]] from the [[COVID-19 pandemic in Malaysia|COVID-19 pandemic]] and further testing of operations. The first delay for the overall opening of the line was announced in July 2023 where [[Minister of Transport (Malaysia)|Transport Minister]] [[Anthony Loke]] mentioned that the line was expected to be operational by 1 March 2025.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-04-07 |title=LRT3 TO START OPERATION IN MARCH 2025 - ANTHONY LOKE |url=https://www.bernama.com/en/general/news.php?id=2203444 |access-date=2023-07-05 |website=BERNAMA |language=en}}</ref>

During the Budget 2024 presentation held on 13 October 2023, [[Minister of Finance (Malaysia)|Finance Minister]] [[Anwar Ibrahim]] announced the reintegration of the five stations that were previously under provisional status ({{lrts|Tropicana}}, {{lrts|Temasya}}, {{lrts|Raja Muda}}, {{lrts|Bukit Raja Selatan}}, {{lrts|Bandar Botanik}}) to be built alongside the rest of the Shah Alam Line with the exception of the sole underground station, Persiaran Hishamuddin, which remains cancelled.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Abdul Rahman |first=Sharil |date=13 October 2023 |title=Budget 2024: 5 previously provisional stations along the LRT Shah Alam Line will be built |url=https://soyacincau.com/2023/10/13/budget-2024-5-previously-provisional-stations-along-the-lrt-shah-alam-line-will-be-built/ |access-date=13 October 2023 |work=SoyaCincau}}</ref>

between each station. One station was to be an underground station, which was subsequently cancelled. The other 25 stations are to be elevated.

The LRT line will connect with existing [[Rapid KL]] lines at {{mrts|Bandar Utama}} on the [[MRT Kajang Line]] and {{lrts|Glenmarie}} on the [[LRT Kelana Jaya Line]]. While not designated as an official interchange or connection on official transit maps, the {{kstn|Klang}} station on the [[KTM Tanjung Malim-Port Klang Line]] is within walking distance from the future {{lrts|Jambatan Kota}} station on this LRT line.

==Other information== * Initially, the Klang LRT station (now {{lrts|Jambatan Kota}}) was planned as an interchange station with the [[Klang Komuter station]]. However, due to cost-reduction efforts and objections from Little India Klang business residents, the station will be built beside ''Emporium Makan'' and Shaw Centrepoint Mall, 700 meters away from the KTM Komuter station. This would have resulted in a same-name but different stations situation, similar to Salak Selatan [[Salak Selatan LRT station|LRT]]/[[Salak Selatan Komuter station|KTM]] and Sentul [[Sentul LRT station|LRT]]/[[Sentul Komuter station|KTM]] stations. The station has since been given a new name.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Perumal |first=Stories Elan |date=2 August 2017 |title=Food court to share space with Klang LRT3 station |url=https://www.thestar.com.my/metro/community/2017/08/02/food-court-to-share-space-with-klang-lrt3-station-mpk-says-proposal-aimed-at-reviving-dwindling-busi |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221018081912/https://www.thestar.com.my/metro/community/2017/08/02/food-court-to-share-space-with-klang-lrt3-station-mpk-says-proposal-aimed-at-reviving-dwindling-busi/ |archive-date=18 October 2022 |access-date=2023-03-03 |website=The Star |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thestar.com.my/metro/community/2016/01/18/at-risk-of-being-closed-lrt3-route-realignment-may-spell-the-end-for-klang-train-station/ |title=Klang komuter station at risk of being closed |work=The Star}}</ref> * The line will be connected with 4 retail malls and shopping centres, namely [[One Utama]] mall in [[Petaling Jaya]], and the Shaw Center Point (The Store), [[Lotus's]] Klang (formerly TESCO Bukit Tinggi) and [[ÆON Bukit Tinggi Shopping Centre]] in [[Klang (city)|Klang]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://lrt3.com.my/v14/index.php/2015-02-13-03-29-33/pelan-setiap-stesen |title=Pelan Setiap Stesen |publisher=Prasarana Malaysia |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150522013509/http://lrt3.com.my/v14/index.php/2015-02-13-03-29-33/pelan-setiap-stesen |archive-date=2015-05-22 }}</ref> * The trains will have a maximum operating speed of 80 km/h (17% faster than the current [[LRT Kelana Jaya Line]]) with the capacity of carrying 36,720 passengers per hour per direction.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://lrt3.com.my/v14/index.php/mengenai-lrt3/sistem-lrt3 |title=Sistem LRT3 |publisher=Prasarana Malaysia |access-date=2015-05-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150417144527/http://lrt3.com.my/v14/index.php/mengenai-lrt3/sistem-lrt3 |archive-date=2015-04-17 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
