LRT Mutiara Line: A New Era of Connectivity & Growth

The Penang Light Rapid Transit (LRT) Project, known as the LRT Mutiara Line, represents a bold step forward in transforming Penang’s transportation landscape. Formerly known as the Bayan Lepas LRT Project, the alignment has been further optimised and renamed to honour Penang’s iconic identity as the ‘Pearl of the Orient.’

As the northern region’s first integrated metro system, the LRT Mutiara Line is designed to enhance accessibility, reduce road congestion, and promote sustainable growth across Penang Island and the mainland.

A vital component of the Penang Public Transport Master Plan (PTMP), the Mutiara Line is poised to be a catalyst for progress, enabling Penang to embrace a future of greater mobility, inclusivity, and development.

Spanning a total of 27.73 kilometres with 24 stations, the line’s design includes transit-oriented developments, park-and-ride facilities, last-mile connections, and a strategic layout that will integrate smoothly with future lines extending to other major areas of Penang, making it an essential part of the region’s infrastructure and an investment in Penang’s long-term prosperity and livability.

Segment 1: Laying the Foundation for Connectivity

Segment 1 of the Mutiara Line is the foundation of Penang’s new LRT system. Spanning approximately 22.3 kilometers, this segment begins from the Penang South Reclamation (PSR) Island A and extends all the way to Komtar in Georgetown. This initial phase is crucial in establishing the core network, targeting high-density areas with residential, commercial, and educational zones to maximize both ridership and accessibility.

This segment will link major hubs, including Penang International Airport and Sg. Nibong Bus Terminal, positioning it as a central transit artery that will redefine the way residents move around the island. Construction is set to commence in XXXXX.
