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 [[KLIA T1 ERL station|Terminal 1]] and [[KLIA T2 ERL station|Terminal 2]].<ref name="KLIA">{{cite web |url=https://www.kliaekspres.com/plan-buy/our-services/ |title=Our Services |publisher=Express Rail Link Sdn Bhd |access-date=12 June 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170703054806/https://www.kliaekspres.com/plan-buy/our-services/ |archive-date=3 July 2017 |url-status=dead }}</ref> 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.

== Line information ==

=== Stations ===

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 Sentral#KL City Air Terminal|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|date=November 2017}}

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.

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

=== Accidents ===
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.<ref>{{Cite web |title=2 ERLs crash at KL Sentral |url=http://www.nst.com.my/nst/articles/23liz35/Article/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100926074710/http://www.nst.com.my/nst/articles/23liz35/Article |archive-date=26 September 2010 |df=dmy-all }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=2 ERLs crash at KL Sentral, 3 hurt |url=http://www.asiaone.com/News/AsiaOne+News/Malaysia/Story/A1Story20100824-233540.html}}</ref>

=== Suspensions ===
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.<ref name="auto">{{Cite web|url=https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2020/04/03/mco-erl-to-suspend-its-services-from-april-4|title=MCO: ERL to suspend its services from April 4 &#124; The Star Online|website=www.thestar.com.my}}</ref> Limited ERL services recommenced on 4 May 2020.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Chua|first=Eddie|date=1 May 2020|title=ERL to resume limited services starting May 4|url=https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2020/05/01/erl-to-resume-limited-services-starting-may-4|access-date=2022-02-12|website=The Star|language=en}}</ref>

On 4 June 2021, due to the [[Malaysian movement control order#Total lockdown (FMCO)|total lockdown phase]] of the Malaysian movement control order, all ERL rail services were temporarily suspended again.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-06-03|title=KLIA Ekspres, Transit to stop operating from June 4 - paultan.org|url=https://paultan.org/2021/06/03/klia-ekspres-transit-to-stop-operating-from-june-4/|access-date=2022-02-12|website=Paul Tan's Automotive News|language=en-US}}</ref> ERL services resumed on 10 September 2021.<ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=9 September 2021|title=ERL to resume train services from Sept 13|url=https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2021/09/09/erl-to-resume-train-services-from-sept-13|access-date=2022-02-12|website=The Star|language=en}}</ref>

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.

=== Connection to Subang Airport ===
The KLIA Transit (and [[KLIA Ekspres]]) interchanges with [[Keretapi Tanah Melayu|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.
