KLIA Transit

From Free net encyclopedia

KLIA Transit is a high-speed commuter train service linking Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, and the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). It shares the same tracks as the KLIA Ekspres but unlike the direct airport express service, KLIA Transit stops at three other stations.

Both KLIA Transit and KLIA Ekspres are operated by Express Rail Link Sdn Bhd (ERL). Malaysians often refer to both services as the ERL.

There are five stations served by KLIA Transit. They are (from north to south):

KL Sentral, interchange with KLIA Ekspres,Kelana Jaya Line, KTM Komuter, KTM intercity trains and KL Monorail (100 m walk)
Bandar Tasik Selatan, interchange with Sri Petaling Line and KTM Komuter
Cyberjaya/Putrajaya, interchange with the future Putrajaya monorail
Salak Tinggi
KLIA, interchange with KLIA Ekspres

The KLIA Transit stations in KL Sentral and KLIA are different from those of the KLIA Ekspres.

At KL Sentral, the KLIA Transit station is accessed from the main Transit Concourse at Level One (not the Kuala Lumpur City Air Terminal or KL CAT). In KLIA, the station is accessed from Level Three (Arrivals) of the main terminal building.

The journey between KL Sentral and KLIA takes 36 minutes. Trains run once every half hour. The first train from KL Sentral is at 0533 while the last is at 0003. The first train from KLIA is at 0552 and the last departs at 0100.

Fares depend on the distance travelled. The fares for KL Sentral-KLIA and KLIA-KL Sentral are the same as KLIA Ekspres at 35 ringgit (RM35). There are reduced fares for elderly people (over 50), though this reduction applies only to Malaysian citizens.

Check-in facilities are not available at KLIA Transit stations. However, passengers holding KLIA Transit tickets are allowed to check-in luggage for several airlines at the KL CAT in KL Sentral.
