context_page_description: Transportation in the Klang Valley, which includes Kuala Lumpur – the capital city of Malaysia – consists of highly-developed intermodal infrastructure. This includes an extensive road network, an integrated railway network, airports, and other modes of public transport. The Klang Valley is an urban conglomeration consisting of the city of Kuala Lumpur, as well as surrounding towns and cities in the state of Selangor. The Klang Valley has the country's largest airport, the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, as well as the country's largest intermodal transport hub and railway station, Kuala Lumpur Sentral.
  Currently, there are multiple modes of public transport including buses, rail, taxis, and motor-taxis serving the region. However, Kuala Lumpur, with a population of 1.79 million in the city and six million in its metropolitan area, is experiencing the effects and challenges of rapid urbanisation and urban planning issues. To resolve these issues, the Kuala Lumpur City Hall has plans to initiate programmes that would improve the public transportation system and increase its sustainability and decrease its environmental impact in the Klang Valley.
context_section_description: The Klang Valley currently has one mass rapid transit (MRT) line, the Kajang Line. The Kajang Line provides high-capacity metro services between the city and the outer parts of the Klang Valley. The lines run from Sungai Buloh to Kajang, running through the city centre. The line is 51 km long and is currently the longest full-automated driverless metro system in Malaysia. The line is owned by MRT Corp but is also operated by Rapid Rail, and functions as part of the Rapid KL system.
  
  A second MRT line, the Putrajaya Line, is currently under construction which, once complete, will run from Sungai Buloh to Putrajaya, pass through the city centre. It will provide rail transport to southern Kuala Lumpur and Seri Kembangan before terminating at Putrajaya. It will also be the second rail link from Kuala Lumpur to Putrajaya, the country's administrative capital, after the Express Rail Link lines.
