History

In 2006, initial plans were to construct an LRT line from Kota Damansara to Cheras, serving areas such as TTDI, Section 17, Section 16 and Bukit Damansara which are near Bukit Kiara. The planned termini have since been extended to Sungai Buloh and Kajang in 2009 to provide a convenient interchange to the KTM lines and to boost development in Sungai Buloh. In 2010, the line plan has been altered to be a rapid transit line which costs RM36 billion. After the 2011 public displays, it was announced that Bukit Kiara is to be a future station, located between Phileo Damansara and Pusat Bandar Damansara stations. Construction began on the MRT line in 2012 with marks placed along the tracks for the future station site. The first phase of the line opened on 16 December 2016 which skips the site. The MRT Circle Line was planned with an interchange here, between Pusat Sains Negara and PPUM stations. However, it has been scrapped since May 2018 due to shortage of funds. A revival was then announced in November 2020 for the MRT Circle Line project, with plans to build the Bukit Kiara MRT station along with other stations for the loop line. Constructions are expected to begin in 2023 and it will be opening in stages, starting with Phase 1 which will include Bukit Kiara.

Planned services

The MRT Kajang Line is currently having a typical frequency of 7 to 9 minutes during off-peak hours, equivalent to 6 to 9 trains per hour (tph). Trains run non-stop between Phileo Damansara and Pusat Bandar Damansara where it is nearer to the former.
