The Persiaran KLCC MRT station is a mass rapid transit (MRT) underground station in the Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) subdistrict in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is one of the stations on the MRT Putrajaya Line.[2]
Station details
[edit]Location
[edit]The station is located on Persiaran KLCC on the site of a former multi-storey car park. It is near the As Syakirin Mosque, and is within 700m walking distance to KLCC Park, Suria KLCC and the KLCC LRT Station. The station is also close to The Troika and the headquarters of Federal Land Development Authority (FELDA).
Exits and entrances
[edit]
There will be a total of three entrances in the future. Entrance B was initially the only entrance to the MRT station due to the construction work being conducted around the station at that time. On 26 November 2023, Entrance C was opened and also served as the drop-off location for the station.[3]

Connection with LRT Kelana Jaya Line
[edit]Despite its name, the MRT station is about 700 metres walking distance from Suria KLCC mall and the Petronas Twin Towers, which are directly served by the KLCC LRT station on the LRT Kelana Jaya Line, which is also underground. The MRT station is also just about a 350-meter walking distance from Ampang Park LRT station and the Ampang Park MRT station, both of which are underground as well.
According to reports, a bridge or a pedestrian walkway was planned, thus allowing pedestrian access between the MRT station and the LRT station, through the Suria KLCC mall.[4]
