The Ampang Line is one of two lines in the Kuala Lumpur Rail Transit System network operated by RapidKL Rail. The other is the Kelana Jaya Line.
Other rail-based public transport modes in Kuala Lumpur include the KL Monorail, KTM Komuter and Express Rail Link.
The line consists of two branch lines, with one major leg of the line is shared:
- Sentul Timur to Chan Sow Lin (shared stations between the two sub-lines)
- Chan Sow Lin to Ampang
- Chan Sow Lin to Sri Petaling
On 28 November 2011, the Ampang Line and the Kelana Jaya Line were integrated with a single ticketing system, allowing commuters to transfer from one line to another at Masjid Jamek station without the need to buy a new ticket.
Further integration with the KL Monorail was achieved on 1 March 2012 when the "paid-up" or restricted areas of the Hang Tuah LRT and monorail stations, and also at the Titiwangsa LRT and monorail stations, were physically linked up, allowing transfers without exiting the system.

Famous quotes containing the word line:
“Gascoigne, Ben Jonson, Greville, Raleigh, Donne,
Poets who wrote great poems, one by one,
And spaced by many years, each line an act
Through which few labor, which no men retract.
This passion is the scholar’s heritage,”
—Yvor Winters (1900–1968)
