Subang Jaya - city in Selangor, Malaysia

Subang Jaya is a city in Selangor, Malaysia, about halfway between Kuala Lumpur and state capital Shah Alam. It consists of the Subang Jaya (SS12-SS19) on the Northern end of the city, USJ on the Southern end, Bandar Sunway, Batu Tiga and Putra Heights. The city is a much sought after refuge for middle to upper-middle-class Malaysians.

Understand

In 1974, Subang Jaya was developed as a residential area from an old rubber estate (Seafield Estate) by Sime Darby. Back then, most only knew of Subang because of the Subang International Airport (Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport, IATA: SZB), which has since been replaced by KLIA in Sepang as Malaysia's main international airport. Now the airport focuses mainly on servicing domestic flights and acts as the premier hub for corporate and private aviation in Southeast Asia.

UEP Subang Jaya (USJ) is the newer part of Subang Jaya and was established in 1988. Subang Jaya and USJ are separated by the infamous traffic lights in Persiaran Kewajipan (near Summit USJ shopping mall) which cause residents an additional 5-20 minutes per way in their daily commute because of traffic congestion.

It was detached from Petaling Jaya and Shah Alam and granted municipal rights in 1997, and since then the city has grown rapidly. It started as a primarily residential area, but it has developed into an internationally renowned city. It is also dubbed as the main education hub of Klang Valley, as there is a concentration of colleges, universities and schools. Over the years, there has been a significant influx of overseas students.

Get in

By train

Subang Jaya station is at the northern edge of Subang Jaya. It is directly behind Carrefour (now AEON Big) and Subang Parade in SS16. Since 2016 it has been an interchange station between KTM Komuter Port Klang-Tanjung Malim line and the Kelana Jaya LRT Line.

KTM Komuter

The [www.ktmb.com.my KTM Komuter] is a convenient mode of transport to central locations in the city and to towns in the neighbouring states (north - Perak, south - Negeri Sembilan):

• KL Sentral - connection by Kelana Jaya Line to KLCC or Sungai Buloh-Kajang MRT Line to Bandar Utama and Kajang;
• Bank Negara - named after Malaysia's central bank, the station is a gateway to Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman
• MidValley - one of Malaysia's largest shopping malls, albeit on the Batu Caves-Tampin line instead;
• Klang - home to Bak Kut Teh
• Batu Caves - limestone hill housing several Hindu cave temples
• Tanjung Malim - small town at the Perak state border (north of Selangor) - passengers can switch to the Electric Train Service (E.T.S.) and continue to Ipoh, Penang or even Kedah and Perlis
• Seremban - state capital of Negeri Sembilan (south of Selangor). Famous for their siew pao. From here passengers can continue to Gemas and switch to the diesel-powered trains to Johor, Pahang or Kelantan.

Kelana Jaya Line

The Kelana Jaya LRT line, which used to terminate at Kelana Jaya station, extends through Subang Jaya and then on to Putra Heights, covering many parts of Subang Jaya.

KTM Komuter - Skypark Link

A branch line of the aforementioned KTM Komuter service was constructed, linking Subang Jaya to the Subang Airport (Subang Skypark) and to KL Sentral. The service opened in May 2018, and is Malaysia's second airport rail link service, after the KLIA Ekspres.

By bus

Bus services connect points in Malaysia and Singapore directly to Subang Jaya, bypassing Kuala Lumpur and its traffic jams. Aeroline and Transtar buses operate from Sunway Pyramid, while First Coach runs from the Holiday Villa hotel in SS12.

Stage bus operator RapidKL has several routes that connect downtown Kuala Lumpur to Subang Jaya, Shah Alam and finally Klang.

Subang Jaya is also home to Malaysia's only bus rapid transit (BRT) service, the BRT Sunway Line, mainly serving the Bandar Sunway locality. The BRT line begins at Setia Jaya station on the KTM Komuter, and ends at USJ 7 station on the Kelana Jaya LRT Line.

By taxi

All metered taxis operating in Kuala Lumpur also serve Subang Jaya.

Also, there are many different routes you can take to travel in the city. Persiaran Kewajipan and Persiaran Tujuan serve as the main routes in the city.
