For passengers coming from Sri Petaling who are headed towards Ampang, transferring at Chan Sow Lin is simple as its is a cross-platform transfer. Trains are also timed to meet each other, cutting waiting time to a minimum. Because the other rail-based systems were developed separately, transfers at the other interchange stations are a little more inconvenient because commuters have to leave the system by exiting the turnstiles and buy a new ticket before continuing with their journey. Most transfers require considerable walking, escalator use and stair-climbing while transferring to the Kelana Jaya Line at Masjid Jamek may even require commuters to cross a busy road.

The KLIA Ekspres and KLIA Transit still do not accept Touch 'n Go. The Touch n Go smart card is used by Malaysian toll highway operators as the sole electronic payment system. ...

Although Rapid KL has renamed what used to be Starline into the Sri Petaling and Ampang lines, it would have been more accurate to have renamed them as two branches of the same line. Technically, both lines exist as one as they share the same services, such as signalling and passenger platforms. Both lines share quite a significant part of their service in the network together, between Sentul Timur and Chan Sow Lin. This is misnomer is cumbersome as what used to be referred to as Starline or Star LRT has been renamed by the mouthful Sri Petaling and Ampang lines. The Sentul LRT station is nowhere near the Sentul KTM Komuter station.
Extensions On 29 August 2006, Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Mohd Najib Abdul Razak announced that the the southern end of the Sri Petaling Line, which now ended at Sri Petaling station, would be extended to the suburb of Puchong, located to the south-west of Kuala Lumpur.
