TheKlang Valley Integrated Transit System is anintegrated transport network that primarily serves the area ofKlang Valley andGreater Kuala Lumpur. The system commenced operations in August 1995 with the introduction ofcommuter rail service on the existing rail between Kuala Lumpur and Rawang. The system have since expanded and currently consists of 11 fully operating rail lines in a radial formation; twocommuter rail lines, sixrapid transit lines, onebus rapid transit line and twoairport rail links to theKuala Lumpur International Airport's (KLIA) Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, and one temporarily suspended airport rail link to theSultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport. The system encompasses 528.4 kilometres (328.3 mi) of grade-separated railway with197 operational stations.

Rail transit in Kuala Lumpur andSelangor began in 1886 when a railway line from Kuala Lumpur to Bukit Kuda (just outsideKlang) was opened. The line remains operational to this day as theTanjung Malim-Port Klang Line.

STAR LRT, a light metro system, was first conceived in the 1981 Transport Master Plan, when the Malaysian government proposed a network oflight rapid transit (LRT) lines connecting Kuala Lumpur city centre with the surrounding areas. An agreement was signed between the government and STAR in 1992.^[3]

The first rail transit system to provide local rail services inKuala Lumpur and the surroundingKlang Valley suburban areas was introduced on 14 August 1995, as theKTM Komuter.^[4] A year later in December 1996, STAR LRT entered into service, followed by the PUTRA LRT which opened in stages beginning September 1998.^[5]

The initial plan was for STAR and PUTRA to build, own and manage the LRTs. However, both companies ran into financial difficulties and were heavily in debt by 2001, which led to the government taking over both LRTs via Syarikat Prasarana Negara Bhd, now known asPrasarana Malaysia Bhd.^[6][7] The LRT lines were subsequently renamed toLRT Ampang and Sri Petaling Lines, andLRT Kelana Jaya Line respectively.

In April 2002,Express Rail Link, which began construction in May 1997, entered into service, with two lines that connectKL Sentral to the newly builtKuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) (now KLIA Terminal 1). The lines were extended to KLIA's Terminal 2 (then known as klia2) in 2014.

In 2003, theKL Monorail opened to service. However, the operator and owner of the line KL Monorail System Sdn Bhd quickly ran into financial difficulties and the service was again taken over by Prasarana in 2007.^[8]

In 2015, theBRT Sunway Line entered into service, serving the densely populatedSunway area.^[9]

In 2016, the Sri Petaling Line was extended toPutra Heights with 11 new stations. The Kelana Jaya Line was similarly extended to Putra Heights with 17 new stations. The extension of both lines serve thePuchong Jaya andSubang Jaya areas.^[10][11]

On 16 December 2016, Phase 1 of theMRT Kajang Line which spans 23 km from opened betweenSungai Buloh toSemantan. On July 17, 2017. Phase Two of the line fromSemantan toKajang began operations.^[12]

TheMRT Putrajaya Line was official launched on 16 June 2022 at 3pm.^[13] Phase 2 of the line was subsequently launched on 16 March 2023.^[14]

TheLRT Shah Alam Line which is still under construction is scheduled to open in December 2025.^[15]

Initially, different competing companies operated the various transit systems and had developed these rail and bus systems separately and at various times. As a result, many of these systems did not integrate well with the others, making transferring from system to system inconvenient for passengers. Aggravated by Kuala Lumpur's poor pedestrian network, moving from one rail system to another often required a lot of walking, stair-climbing, and escalator-use.

Since 28 November 2011, the paid areas of shared stations along theRapid KL system for theKelana Jaya Line,Ampang Line, andSri Petaling Line, as well as theKL Monorail from 1 March 2012, have been integrated physically under a common ticketing system, effectively making those stations interchange stations. This enables commuters to transfer between lines at the interchange stations without buying a new ticket each time, provided that they do not exit the paid area. This is currently possible at theTitiwangsa,Hang Tuah,Putra Heights, andMasjid Jamek stations. With the opening of the latest rapid transit lines on 17 July 2017 and 16 June 2022, theKajang Line andPutrajaya Line respectively, the integrated system has been expanded toPasar Seni,Merdeka-Plaza Rakyat,Maluri,Tun Razak Exchange,Chan Sow Lin,Kwasa Damansara andSungai Besi stations, and toUSJ 7 station with the launching of theBRT Sunway Line.

The KTM Komuter lines and Express Rail Link (ERL) lines implement their own ticketing systems and only allow integration between their respective rail lines.

TheTouch 'n Go stored value fare card is accepted as a mode of payment on the Rapid Bus system, LRT, MRT, BRT, and monorail lines, as well as the KTM Komuter and ERL lines, easing the hassle of buying separate tickets for travelling on different networks. However, the fare integration for the Rapid KL system does not includeKTM Komuter andExpress Rail Link.

Rapid Rail, the operator of the LRT, MRT and monorail lines, andRapid Bus (which covers about 70% of the Klang Valley's bus network as well as the BRT Sunway Line), provide various daily and monthly passes for commuters.^[16]

Since February 2024, KTM Kommuter services started accepting credit and debit card as payment method, including NFC based mobile payment services such asApple Pay,Google Pay andSamsung Pay.^[17] Rapid KL services are slated to follow suit with the implementation of open payment system starting March 2024 and concluding by March 2025.^[18]

Railway lines around Klang Valley

TheKTM Komuter, acommuter rail service, provide local rail services inKuala Lumpur and the surroundingKlang Valley suburban areas.Light rapid transit (LRT) lines andmonorail line were introduced later on to serve the urban Kuala Lumpur area and its satellite towns. (i.e.Ampang,Petaling Jaya,Subang Jaya,Puchong,Gombak, etc.) Themass rapid transit (MRT) lines aims to connect the outskirts of the Klang Valley (i.e.Damansara,Sungai Buloh,Putrajaya,Kajang) with the city centre. Malaysia's firstbus rapid transit (BRT) line was introduced to ease pedestrian traffic inBandar Sunway, a thriving leisure and entertainment township inSubang Jaya. 3 airport rail links connect the city centre with the 2 major airports of the Klang Valley, two to theKuala Lumpur International Airport's (KLIA) Terminals 1 and 2, and one to theSultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport.

The fourth LRT line, theShah Alam Line is also under the construction phase.^[22] The construction of the third KVMRT line, theCircle Line is expected to commence in 2027.^[23]
