Klang LRT station is an elevated light rapid transit (LRT) station and serves as one of the stations for the Shah Alam line. The station is located in the city of Klang, Selangor one of the world's major international port cities and as global transhipment hub of Malaysia. The station is surrounded by most of the major landmarks in the areas are business and commercial districts of Klang North as compared to South Klang which is mostly government departments. This station mainly serves urban localities that use Lebuhraya Persekutuan, Jalan Meru, Jalan Kapar and Jalan Langat which are the four major roads servicing the area.
The station is an elevated rapid transit station in forming part of the Klang Valley Integrated Transit System. Although not designated as an official interchange, commuters may walk up to the KD14 Klang Komuter Station on the Port Klang Line from Klang LRT line. It takes approximately 5 – 10 minutes walking time.
Initial Planning[]
The station is planned to be built near to the current KTM Klang Komuter Station at Klang South near to Jalan Tengku Kelana Klang Little India however since its located in the busy district, residents opposed the location mainly for historical importance since it required to demolish part of pre-war shop lots and some other businesses in the narrow roads.[1] This made the station change to a new location in North Klang near to Jalan Pasar where the major business district in Klang is located.[2] The new location is located next to Klang infamous Emporioum Makan and due to construction difficulties the building needs to be demolished in order for the station to be built.[3] This has left Klang LRT and Klang KTM Komuter station not being an interchange station, rather just a connecting station which is about 700 metres walking distance using Jambatan Musaeddin.
