Location

Bukit Bintang is aMonorail station located inBukit Bintang,Kuala Lumpur. As part of theKL Monorail line, it opened alongside the rest of the train service on 31 August 2003.

This monorail station is not interchangeable (or integrated) and not to be confused with the separate but adjacentBukit Bintang MRT station, which is serviced by theMRT Kajang Line instead.

The monorail station was opened onHari Merdeka, 31 August 2003, along with the rest of the KL Monorail line.

The station was officially expanded on 13 September 2015 under the KL Monorail expansion program to accommodate new 4-car monorail trains byScomi (Scomi SUTRA), and opened up 3 new entrances that directly leads to neighbouring malls.

Formerly known as the Bukit Bintang station since its opening on 2003, the station was renamed to AirAsia - Bukit Bintang on 9 October 2015 after Malaysian low-cost airlineAirAsia was given naming rights by station ownerPrasarana Malaysia, under the Station Naming Rights Programme.^[1][2] Nonetheless, the contract was terminated in 2019 and all signs bearing the AirAsia prefix were removed from the station.

The station is situated atBukit Bintang (translated fromMalay toEnglish as "Starhill"), a shopping hub in the Kuala Lumpur Golden Triangle commercial district. The monorail station is erected overJalan Sultan Ismail, where it is located directly south from the Jalan Sultan Ismail -Jalan Bukit Bintang intersection.

Due to its proximity to Bukit Bintang, the monorail station receives a high volume of passengers during peak hours and non-working days.

Bukit Bintang MRT station of theMRT Kajang Line and Bukit Bintang Monorail station are in the strict sense, two distinct stations, although both originally had the same names (now distinct with the new branding). Paid zone-to-paid zone integration between the two is proposed^[3] but not observable at the moment. The AirAsia branding, used on the Monorail station (henceAirAsia-Bukit Bintang) was not extended to the underground MRT station, which uses a different branding (the nearbyPavilion Kuala Lumpur). Passengers will have to walk along the Yayasan Selangor building orLot 10 shopping mall to get to the MRT station from the monorail station, and vice versa.^[4]

The Bukit Bintang station is the first monorail station (alongside three other stations) towards theTitiwangsa station to be lined alongJalan Sultan Ismail. The line towards theKuala Lumpur Sentral station thereafter turns west towardsJalan Imbi at the Jalan Sultan Ismail - Jalan Imbi intersection.

The station is one of four Kuala Lumpur Monorail stations that serves the Kuala Lumpur Golden Triangle locality, the other three being theRaja Chulan station (500 metres away), theImbi station (also 500 metres away), and theHang Tuah station (connected to theAmpang Line LRT).

The station has five signed exits. Similar to the nearbyImbi station, the Bukit Bintang station is also directly within walking distance from various other shopping centres (including theStarhill Gallery,Low Yat Plaza,Pavilion KL,Fahrenheit 88, Lot 10, Imbi Plaza and Sungei Wang Plaza). The station is also the only Kuala Lumpur Monorail station to include an overhead link bridge that directly connects its two train platforms, instead of a link under the monorail platforms and track. The station's length is also longer in comparison with certain KL Monorail stations.
