Kerinchi LRT Station

Kerinchi LRT Station is a train station located across from Menara TM. It is part of Plaza Pantai which is a small shopping center that includes a couple convenience stores, eateries and a hair salon. This property is being redeveloped to become the Bangsar Trade Centre which is a good thing since it is not the nicest building to look at.
This was my primary LRT station while I was visiting KL as I was staying at the Pullman Kuala Lumpur Bangsar down the road from this station. The station is about a 5 – 10 minute walk from the hotel. Universiti, which is the next station after Kerinchi is actually closer in distance to the hotel. Unfortunately, the area is full of highway roads which make it difficult and dangerous to reach that station by foot. Fortunately the walk to Kerinchi from the hotel is pretty easy.
If you are visiting KL and will be using the LRT a lot, it is worth getting a MyRapid card that they sell at the station counter. Bought a card for RM20 which had a stored value of RM15 on it. If your card is getting low on funds, you can add stored value to it at a station ticket machine.
This station is similar in look to the Bangsar LRT station a couple stops down the line. It is an open air station, but at least it is covered. This station is one of the stops on the Kelana Jaya Line which runs from Kelana Jaya LRT Station in Petaling Jaya to Gombak LRT Station. Along the way, this line stops at Bangsar, KL Sentral and KLCC, which is the stop for the Petronas Towers.
LRT operating hours are from 6 am to just before midnight. As for train frequency, it is pretty good as the longest waiting time is 15 minutes. On the weekdays during rush hours, there are trains as frequent as every 3 minutes. The appearance of the train cars is clean looking and it was nice to ride them because they are kept cool in temperature.
While I found the location of the hotel I was staying at a bit inconvenient in getting to the popular tourist attractions in KL, the frequent trains at Kerinchi really made up for that deficiency. Even though I was staying a bit out of the way, this station served my transportation needs well. Though I doubt many people use this station except if they live in the area, was staying at the Pullman or going to Menara TM.
