Introduction
Not every buyer who looks at a condo near the LRT3 Bukit Tinggi station plans to take the train. Some will. Many won’t. Most will do both, depending on the day, the destination, and the weather.
The notion that the value of transit adjacent property relies solely on commuters who opt out of using their vehicles altogether and take the train is rather short-sighted in its analysis of the value that a station brings with it. It is also the wrong notion when applied to Malaysian commuter households, since there is an increased reliance on cars while the rail network continues to grow.
Occupancy levels of Klang Valley Park N’ Ride facilities have been measured to be higher than 85% to 92% at certain rail connected stations, which indicates that not all commuters have replaced cars with trains, but choose to travel via car and train interchangeably.
For commuter households that rely on the automobile for the vast majority of their transport needs, the LRT3 station at Bandar Bukit Tinggi also represents the value of the address, its performance as a rental investment and the options available for the undecided household that has not committed to being a rail-commuter household just yet. This blog post will analyse the value of the LRT3 property in Klang in this particular corridor for commuting drivers.

- Another may board the LRT3 at Bandar Bukit Tinggi and transfer at Glenmarie 2 to reach a KL office.

- Boarding the LRT3 at Bandar Bukit Tinggi on the same day generally takes the same amount of time as usual
