The Kuala Lumpur MRT is a mass rapid transit system being planned for Kuala Lumpur. Also called the Greater Kuala Lumpur MRT and Klang Valley MRT, the project was tabled for the 10 Malaysia Plan. It is a joint venture between Gamuda Berhad and MMC Corporation Berhad. The first MRT line will run from Sungai Buloh to Kajang, and will interchange with the existing LRT and KTM Komuter lines. The line will be 60 km in length, of which about 10 km will be underground. It is tentatively planned to have 35 stations.

A second line will run from Damansara to Serdang, while a third line will be a circle line around the city. There will be a station every half kilometer to a kilometer, depending on population and traffic density.

The Kuala Lumpur MRT will be owned by the Government of Malaysia through Syarikat Prasarana Negara, the national infrastructure company under the Ministry of Finance. The MRT will mostly be run by RapidKL, the same company under Syarikat Prasarana Negara which runs the LRT and Rapid Penang buses.
