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]

History

This is the twenty-fifth station along the RM9 billion line project, with the line's maintenance depot located in Johan Setia, Klang.

However, on 13 July 2018, it was earmarked as one of the five stations that were postponed in order to reduce overall construction costs.[2][3]

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.[4] The station will be constructed and targeted for opening in 2027.
