Ipoh To Build Inner-City LRT System That Spans 28 Stations Over 58KM
Perak will witness the construction of the nation’s first inner-city train system that’s not located in the Klang Valley.
Ipoh, the state capital and much-visited tourism destination, has plans to build an ambitious Light Rail Transit (LRT) system, spanning 28 stations over 58 kilometres.
Divided into two routes along west and east Ipoh, the project is expected to ease the worsening traffic congestion in the area, as well as contribute to economic growth.
“As a start, a transport hub around Ipoh Railway Station will be developed in anticipation (of the LRT), which will involve roughly 60 hectares of land,” said Datuk Nolee Ashilin Mohammed Radzi, the state chairperson on Housing, Tourism, and Local Government.
