Opening hour delays on the Kelana Jaya LRT line
If your weekend commute or plans involve hopping on the Kelana Jaya LRT train to get to your destination, you’ll want to take note of these upcoming changes to the line’s schedule. From 9th August till 22nd November 2025, the line will have delays in opening hours at selected stations.
Here’s everything we know about the delays and the affected stations.
Upgrades to the Kelana Jaya line
Prasarana Malaysia Berhad is giving the Kelana Jaya line’s Automatic Train Control (ATC) signalling system a modern makeover with the latest SelTrac Generation 8 system. This upgrade will be a significant upgrade to the current outdated software from the 1980s, with real-time data analytics, higher cybersecurity standards, and more reliable communication between control components, as reported by The Star.
This essentially means that trains will be able to run more safely and soundly.

It also means that certain stations on the Kelana Jaya line will be closed to accommodate the upgrades, with stations not involved in testing operating on their normal hours.
Three phases, with stations affected starting from 9th August
This comprehensive upgrade is broken down into three phases. Phase 1 kicked off on 19th July, dealing with depot areas without putting a hitch in passengers’ plans.
Phase 2 will stretch from 9th August to 14th September. During this period, 10 stations from KLCC to Gombak will open at 9am instead of the usual 6am during weekends and public holidays. The days and stations affected are:
- 9th, 10th, 16th, 17th & 23rd August: KLCC, Ampang Park, Damai, Dato’ Keramat, Jelatek
- 5th, 6th, 7th & 14th September: Setiawangsa, Sri Rampai, Wangsa Maju, Taman Melati, Gombak

Phase 3, set from 11th October to 22nd November, will impact 17 stations between Lembah Subang and Ampang Park. This includes major transit hubs like KL Sentral and Pasar Seni, with similar late opening arrangements:
- 11th, 12th, 18th & 19th October: Lembah Subang, Kelana Jaya, Taman Bahagia, Taman Paramount, Asia Jaya & Taman Jaya
- 1st, 15th, 16th & 22nd November: Universiti, Kerinchi, Abdullah Hukum, Bangsar, KL Sentral, Pasar Seni, Masjid Jamek, Dang Wangi, Kampung Baru, KLCC & Ampang Park
The new temporary 9am openings during weekends and public holidays aim to facilitate real-time testing and fine-tuning of the new system, meaning weekday hours remain unchanged.
Free shuttle buses and vans connecting the affected stations will also be provided by Prasarana to help ease travel during the disruptions.
Delayed opening hours at stations on Kelana Jaya LRT line for upgrades
If you’re hopping on the Kelana Jaya line over the next months, mark your calendars and plan your trips, especially on affected weekends and holidays. These delays mean you might need to skip those early morning rides from affected stations.
