The KTM Klang Valley Double Track (KVDT) Project : Part 3

KTM Klang Valley Double Track (KVDT) Project Impact on Commuters While construction is underway, especially for KVDT2, commuters may experience temporary service changes:  Single-Track Operations: Operations often switch to single-track mode to allow for track replacement, resulting in reduced frequencies (often 30 to 60 minutes). Station Upgrades: Platforms at 13 stations (including Abdullah Hukum to Klang) have faced closures or merging to facilitate work. Schedule Adjustments: Regular timetable updates are released through the KTMB official website or the KITS mobile app. Service Status: As of April 2026, specific operational changes have been implemented for the Pulau Sebang–Batu Caves line to facilitate intensive KVDT2 work between Seremban and Salak Selatan. Alternative transport options During the ongoing Klang Valley Double Track (KVDT) project, alternative transport options vary significantly based on the specific route and current phase of work. As of April 2026, the KVDT Phase 2 (KVDT2) project is causing major service disruptions on several lines. KTM Komuter Port Klang Line (KL Sentral – Port Klang) Service on this route is currently limited due to single-track operations between Abdullah Hukum and Port Klang. Limited Stop Komuter Ekspres: A faster peak-hour service is available between Kuala Lumpur and Port Klang to help bypass single-track delays Free Shuttle Buses (Ceased): While free shuttle buses previously operated between Subang Jaya and Port Klang, these were cease operations on 1 January 2026 as train frequencies were adjusted to 30-minute intervals. Alternative Rail: Commuters can use the LRT Kelana Jaya Line to reach Subang Jaya Station, then switch to the KTM Port Klang Line for the remaining journey.  Bus Services: The Causeway Link P701 bus provides a direct alternative from Port Klang to Pasar Seni LRT Station. The Causeway Link P701 (often referred to locally as the "Cosway" bus) typically operates every 15 to 20 minutes. Some schedules and travel guides may indicate a general frequency of approximately every 30 minutes depending on traffic conditions and time of day. Service Frequency & Hours The route connects Port Klang Bus Terminal with the Pasar Seni bus hub in Kuala Lumpur via the Federal Highway. Frequency: 15–20 minutes. Weekday Operating Hours: From Port Klang: 5:00 AM – 7:00 PM. From Pasar Seni: 6:25 AM – 8:30 PM. Weekend Operating Hours : From Port Klang: 5:30 AM – 6:55 PM. From Pasar Seni: 6:45 AM – 8:15 PM. Key Travel Details Estimated Travel Time: Approximately 47 to 60 minutes, though this can exceed an hour during peak traffic. Fare: Typically ranges between RM 3.20 and RM 15.00 depending on the specific boarding point and ticketing platform. Route Context: This bus serves as a major alternative to the KTM Komuter Port Klang Line, particularly during periods of rail service disruptions #exploringwalk
