Whether you're a student, working professional, or just someone trying to avoid tolls and traffic, Puchong has become increasingly convenient when it comes to public transport. From LRT lines to MRT connectivity and bus routes, here’s everything you need to know to get around without driving.
1. LRT Sri Petaling Line (Ampang Line Extension)
Puchong is served by the LRT Sri Petaling Line, which was extended to include several key stations in the area. Here are some of the main stops:
- IOI Puchong Jaya
- Taman Perindustrian Puchong
- Bandar Puteri
- Pusat Bandar Puchong
- Taman Puchong Prima
- Putra Heights (Interchange with Kelana Jaya Line)
This line connects you directly to Kuala Lumpur city center and other key locations like Bukit Jalil, Sri Petaling, and Masjid Jamek.
2. MRT Putrajaya Line
While the MRT doesn’t run directly through the heart of Puchong (yet!), the MRT Putrajaya Line connects nearby locations like:
- Taman Equine
- Serdang Raya
- Cyberjaya Utara (a bit further, but great for commuters)
From these stations, you can take a short Grab ride or feeder bus into central Puchong.
3. RapidKL & Smart Selangor Buses
Puchong is covered by several RapidKL routes, including:
- Bus 600: Puchong to Pasar Seni
- Bus 506: Puchong to Putrajaya
There are also Smart Selangor free buses that serve local communities (Bandar Puteri, Taman Kinrara, etc.), especially during peak hours.
4. E-Hailing Services: Grab, InDrive, AirAsia Ride
Let’s be real – sometimes waiting for a bus just isn’t it. Thankfully, Grab and other e-hailing options are everywhere in Puchong, and most drivers know the shortcuts around jammed areas.
5. Park & Ride Facilities
If you still prefer to drive halfway, many LRT stations in Puchong offer Park & Ride options so you can park your car and take the train in peace.
Locations like IOI Puchong Jaya and Taman Puchong Prima have parking areas.
6. What’s Missing?
While the LRT and MRT systems are great, first-mile and last-mile connectivity is still a challenge in some residential areas. That’s why a lot of people use e-scooters, bicycles, or Grab to bridge the gap.
Summary: Is Public Transport in Puchong Good?
It’s not perfect – but it’s definitely better than it used to be. You can now get from Puchong to the city, to universities, to shopping malls, and even to the airport with minimal fuss.
Just plan your route, get the right app (MyRapid, Moovit, Grab), and you’ll save both time and money!
