The Bandar Botanik LRT station is designated to be an elevated light rapid transit (LRT) station in Bandar Botanic, Klang, Selangor, Malaysia, forming part of the Shah Alam line.[1]
The station is marked as Station No. 25 along the RM9 billion line project with the line's maintenance depot located in Johan Setia, Klang. The Bandar Botanik LRT station was expected to be operational in February 2024,[2] but Transport Minister Anthony Loke mentioned that the overall line would be expected to be operational by 1st March 2025 adding more delays to the opening of the Shah Alam Line.[3]
However, on 13 July 2018, it was earmarked as one of the five stations which was postponed in order to reduce overall construction costs.[4] [5] On 13 October 2023, during the Budget 2024 presentation, Finance Minister Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced the reintegration of the five stations that were previously under provisional status including the Bandar Botanik LRT station to be built alongside the rest of the Shah Alam Line.[6]
