Route of KLIA Ekspres

The ERL KLIA Transit is a commuter rail service which serves as an airport rail link to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) in Malaysia. It runs from KL Sentral, the main railway station of Kuala Lumpur to KLIA's Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.^[3] The line is one of the two services on the Express Rail Link (ERL) system, sharing the same tracks as the KLIA Ekspres. KLIA Transit stops at all stations along the line, whereas KLIA Ekspres runs an express, non-stop service between KL Sentral and the airport. The line is operated by Express Rail Link Sdn. Bhd. (ERL).

The line is one of the components of the Klang Valley Integrated Transit System. It is numbered 7 and coloured teal on official transit maps.

There are six stations served by KLIA Transit. They are, from north to south:

At KL Sentral, the two platforms of the ERL are accessed from different parts of the station. The KLIA Ekspres side platforms are accessed from the KL City Air Terminal (KL CAT) while the KLIA Transit island platform is accessed from the main Transit Concourse at Level 1. At KLIA Terminal 1 and 2, both KLIA Ekspres and KLIA Transit use the same island platform, with each service serving only one side of the platform.^{[citation needed]}

At KLIA Terminal 1 station, KLIA Transit uses the same platform for Terminal 2- or city-bound trains. Displays are installed at the platform to indicate the travelling direction of the approaching train.

KLIA Transit began operations on 20 June 2002. Since then there has only been one major accident.

On 24 August 2010, Express Rail Link suffered their first reported accident in which 3 passengers were injured. Two ERL trains collided at Kuala Lumpur Sentral. One of the trains involved was about to depart at 9.45pm for Kuala Lumpur International Airport while the other train, which was empty, ran into it from behind.^[4][5]

On 4 April 2020, due to the Malaysian movement control order, which resulted in a significant reduction in ridership, all ERL rail services were temporarily suspended.^[6] Limited ERL services recommenced on 4 May 2020.^[7]

On 4 June 2021, due to the total lockdown phase of the Malaysian movement control order, all ERL rail services were temporarily suspended again.^[8] ERL services resumed on 10 September 2021.^[9]

Trains run between 05:00 and midnight at frequencies of 15 minutes (peak) or 30 minutes (off-peak and weekends).

One-way fares with effect from January 2016:^[10]

One-way and return tickets may be purchased from the ticketing office, at the automated ticketing kioks, from KLIA Ekspres website or via the KLIA Ekspres mobile app.

Passengers holding AMEX, JCB, Mastercard, Visa, UnionPay contactless cards and Touch 'n Go cards may pay directly at the fare gates without the need to purchase a separate ticket. Touch 'n Go cards require a minimum balance of RM20.

Weekly or monthly travel passes (TravelCard) linked to MyKad can be purchased at the ticketing office or via KLIA Ekspres website. TravelCards allow unlimited travels between two stations for seven or thirty days.

There is no free travel between KLIA Terminals 1 and 2. Passengers transferring between the terminals via KLIA Transit require a valid ticket.

The KLIA Transit (and KLIA Ekspres) interchanges with KTM's Skypark Link at KL Sentral, an airport-rail link serving the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (Subang Airport). This allows for a rail connection between KLIA Terminal 1, Terminal 2 and Subang Airport.

As of August 2024, SkyPark Link services are suspended.
