Damansara Idaman LRT Station

Damansara Idaman LRT Station (SA05) is an elevated light rail transit station on the LRT Shah Alam Line (LRT3) serving the Damansara Idaman area in Petaling Jaya, Selangor. Situated between BU11 LRT Station (SA03) and Subang LRT Station (SA06), it provides an important rail connection for residents and businesses in the northern part of Petaling Jaya. Although Tropicana LRT Station (SA04) lies between BU11 and Damansara Idaman on the railway alignment, it is scheduled to commence passenger service only in 2031. Consequently, Damansara Idaman is presently the next operational station after BU11 towards Johan Setia. Operated by Rapid Rail as part of the Rapid KL network, the station forms part of the LRT Shah Alam Line linking Bandar Utama with Johan Setia in Klang.1

Introduction

Damansara Idaman LRT Station was constructed as part of the LRT Shah Alam Line to improve public transport accessibility in the northern section of Petaling Jaya. Since the opening of the line in 2025, it has served as the first operational station after BU11 in the direction of Johan Setia because the intermediate Tropicana LRT Station has yet to commence passenger service. The station provides residents with a convenient alternative to travelling by private vehicle while strengthening rail connectivity across western Selangor.2

The station serves the Damansara Idaman neighbourhood together with nearby residential, commercial and institutional developments. It also supports sustainable urban mobility by encouraging commuters to use public transport instead of relying solely on road travel.3

The station is integrated with local roads and public transport facilities, allowing passengers to reach nearby destinations through feeder buses, taxis, ride-hailing services and pedestrian connections. These facilities improve first- and last-mile connectivity while expanding the catchment area served by the station.5

Until Tropicana LRT Station enters passenger service in 2031, trains travelling towards Bandar Utama operate directly between Damansara Idaman and BU11 without stopping at the intermediate station. Passengers travelling north may continue to Bandar Utama for an interchange with the MRT Kajang Line, while southbound services continue towards Shah Alam and Johan Setia.7

The station incorporates a modern appearance with sheltered public areas, spacious concourses and energy-efficient building systems suitable for year-round operation.8

Role within the LRT Shah Alam Line

Once Tropicana becomes operational, the station will continue to play an important role as one of the key intermediate stations serving the northern section of the LRT Shah Alam Line.14
