green impact
Choosing KLIA Ekspres is more than a convenient way to travel—it's a conscious choice for a greener future. Through sustainable rail transportation, we help reduce road congestion, lower carbon emissions, and support Malaysia's journey towards a low-carbon economy.
— TOTAL RIDERSHIP
Ridership is based off year 2023:
As of 2023, Malaysia has a MS 1525:2019 Building Energy Index standard of 135 kWh/m²/year.
BEI for all stations and depot ranges between 97 to 174 kWh/m²/year — 6 stations and depot are consuming less than 135 kWh/m²/year, which is considered efficient.
