KLIA Transit
KLIA Transit is a commuter rail service which serves as an airport rail link to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia. It runs from KL Sentral, the main railway station of Kuala Lumpur to KLIA as well as its low-cost terminal, klia2. The line is one of the two services on the Express Rail Link 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 between KL Sentral and KLIA/klia2. The ERL is operated by Express Rail Link Sdn. Bhd.
The line is one of the components of the Klang Valley Integrated Transit System. It is numbered and coloured Teal on official transit maps.
