The '''MRT Kajang Line''', previously known as the '''MRT Sungai Buloh–Kajang Line''', is a [[Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit|Mass Rapid Transit]] (MRT) line servicing the [[Klang Valley]], [[Malaysia]]. It is the second [[List of automated urban metro subway systems|fully automated]] and driverless rail system in the Klang Valley region after the [[LRT Kelana Jaya Line]]. Owned by [[MRT Corp]] and operated as part of the [[Rapid KL]] system by [[Rapid Rail]], it forms part of the '''[[Klang Valley Integrated Transit System]]'''. The line is numbered 9 and coloured green on official transit maps.

It is one of three planned MRT rail lines under the [[Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit Project]] by [[MRT Corp]].

== History ==

===Initial LRT proposal=== In August 2006, the LRT Kota Damansara–Cheras line proposal was first made known to the public by the then [[Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia|Deputy Prime Minister]] Najib Razak under a RM10 billion government allocation for the improvement and expansion of the public transportation network in the Klang Valley as a new [[light rapid transit]] (LRT) system. The line is also targeted to alleviate traffic congestion in the Klang Valley by encouraging more commuters to opt for public transport.{{#tag:ref|As of 2006, the percentage of public transport passengers was only 11%.<ref name="railexpansionstar">{{cite news| title=Rail Travel Expansion |url=https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2006/08/30/rail-travel-expansion/ | work=The Star | date=30 August 2006 | url-status=live | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181027063551/https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2006/08/30/rail-travel-expansion/ |archive-date=27 October 2018 |df=dmy-all}}</ref>|group=note}} It is also aimed to reduce overcrowding on the [[KL Monorail]] and to provide an alternative transport mode due to rising fuel prices.<ref name="Starontrack">{{cite news| title=Kota Damansara-Cheras Rail Line Right on Track | url=https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2008/06/15/kota-damansaracheras-rail-line-right-on-track/ | work=The Star| date=15 June 2008| url-status=dead| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181027072442/https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2008/06/15/kota-damansaracheras-rail-line-right-on-track/ | archive-date=27 October 2018 | df=dmy-all}}</ref> It is estimated to be approximately {{Cvt|30|km}} in length.<ref name="railexpansionstar"/> This is planned in-line with the extension of the [[LRT Kelana Jaya Line]] and the [[LRT Sri Petaling Line]], to [[Subang Jaya]] and [[Puchong]] respectively and converging at {{lrts|Putra Heights}}.<ref name="Starontrack"/> The combined cost of the new line and the proposed extensions were estimated at RM7 billion.

In September 2008, executive director of SPNB said that a {{Cvt|5.9|km}} section of the line in central Kuala Lumpur will be underground, serving 5 stations. {{Citation needed|date=April 2023}} However, the locations of underground stations were not announced.

The line was being considered for as a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system after taking into consideration the catchment area serving a population of 878,000.

* 29 June 2014: The first two train car bodies arrived in [[West Port, Malaysia|Westport]], [[Port Klang]], [[Selangor]]. The train will be assembled in the country's first train assembly plant in [[Rasa, Malaysia|Rasa]], [[Hulu Selangor District|Hulu Selangor]]. The purpose-built plant for the KVMRT project is solely owned and operated by SMH Rail Sdn Bhd. SMH Rail had a consortium partnership with [[Siemens AG]] and Siemens Malaysia. Work to assemble the trains began immediately after the first two train car bodies arrived in Westport. The time taken to assemble one train set is about 30 days. The plant has two assembly lines, allowing work on four trains sets to be carried out at the same time.<ref>{{cite press release |title=MRT Newsletter |url=https://www.mymrt.com.my/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/MRTNLETTER-JUN-DEC2014_ENG.pdf |publisher=MRT Corp |date=July–December 2014 |access-date=4 July 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200703184546/https://www.mymrt.com.my/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/MRTNLETTER-JUN-DEC2014_ENG.pdf |archive-date=3 July 2020 |url-status=live}}</ref> * 30 November 2014: Another 14 train car bodies had arrived.

In the second quarter of 2018, the quarterly ridership is a little short of 12 million, following an overall rising trend. However, the line is deemed to have inadequate ridership to cover the construction, operation and maintenance costs. A target of 250,000 daily passengers is required for the line to break even with its operation costs.<ref>{{cite web|title=MRT needs 250,000 daily passengers to break even |url=https://paultan.org/2018/03/27/mrt-needs-250000-daily-passengers-to-break-even/}}</ref>
