KUALA LUMPUR, 29 June 2026 WORQ, Malaysia’s largest homegrown coworking and flexible workspace provider, today reaffirmed its position as the country’s first and largest transit-oriented (TOD) coworking network as the long-awaited LRT3 Shah Alam Line opened to the public.
The RM21.93 billion, 37.8km line, officially launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on 28 June and serving 20 stations from Johan Setia in Klang to Bandar Utama in Petaling Jaya, pushes rail connectivity deeper into the Klang Valley than ever before, directly into the neighbourhoods where WORQ already operates.
With approximately 345,000 square feet across 13 locations as of June 2026, and 12 of those 13 hubs sitting at or beside a train station, WORQ has built what it calls the largest cloud office network within transit-oriented developments in Malaysia.
The opening of the LRT3 strengthens that network on day one: WORQ Bandar Utama, the operator’s wellness-focused outlet at KPMG Tower, now sits at a confirmed LRT3 interchange where the new Shah Alam Line meets the existing MRT Kajang Line.
Why this matters today: The LRT3 adds a brand-new spine of rail access across Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam and Klang. WORQ is the only coworking operator positioned to convert that infrastructure into immediate workplace value, because its entire network was designed around train stations from the start.
A network built for the rails, not retrofitted to them
WORQ pioneered transit-oriented coworking in Malaysia and remains the only operator to implement the TOD principle across all its Klang Valley outlets. Members can reach a WORQ hub directly from major lines including Subang LRT, TTDI MRT, Universiti LRT, KL Sentral LRT, Ampang Park LRT and MRT, Bangsar LRT, World Trade Centre LRT, Maluri MRT and LRT, Cochrane MRT and Bandar Utama MRT, as listed by Rapid KL operator MyRapid. A single All Access membership lets members work from any TOD outlet across the network.
“Our goal is to create a co-working network that enables people to work near where they live or commute, whether they are in Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, or Subang,” said Stephanie Ping, Co-Founder and CEO of WORQ. “We want to reduce the hassle of travelling back to headquarters just to take a meeting or print documents,” she told Bernama, explaining that the company aims to keep every outlet within 10 minutes of a major train station.
The commute has already changed, and the LRT3 accelerates it
The demand signal is clear. WORQ reports that nearly 50% of its members now commute via public transport, up from around 20% when the company started in 2017.
“This shift reflects a structural change in corporate real estate strategy,” Ping said, noting that companies are increasingly prioritising agility, people-first experiences and convenient commutes when choosing where to base their teams.
That structural shift is exactly what the LRT3 is built to serve. By opening 20 new access points across the western and southern Klang Valley, the line widens the talent pool that every WORQ member company can reach, with commuting becoming far less of a barrier.
Tactically timed: free LRT3 rides until 31 July
The timing could not be better for businesses weighing a move to flexible, transit-connected workspace. The LRT3 Shah Alam Line is offering free rides for a full month, from 29 June until 31 July, with free travel also extended to Prasarana feeder bus services along the line. WORQ is inviting professionals and teams to use the free-ride window to experience how effortless a car-free workday can be, to hop on the LRT3, alight near a WORQ hub, and start working.
WORQ is reinforcing that message through its own commuter partnership with Prasarana. Under a tie-up announced alongside its 13th outlet at Menara Shell, KL Sentral, Rapid Kembara pass holders enjoy 25% off WORQ day passes across all outlets, turning a single train pass into both transport and a workspace for the day.
Make the most of the free-ride month:
- Ride the LRT3 free until 31 July, feeder buses included.
- Alight at or near a WORQ hub on any major line.
- Rapid Kembara pass holders get 25% off WORQ day passes across all outlets.
Anchored in the Klang Valley, scaling nationally
The large majority of WORQ’s 13 outlets and its approximately 345,000 square feet sit inside the Klang Valley, the operator’s stated expansion focus. Its KL Sentral cluster alone now totals around 60,000 square feet following the Menara Shell launch in partnership with Sentral REIT. The expansion of the rail map through the LRT3 only deepens the moat around WORQ’s network advantage in the region.
WORQ also continues to extend its transit-oriented model upmarket. Its WORQ Well “country club” sub-brand at KL Eco City offers direct access to LRT and KTM stations, with CEO Stephanie Ping confirming that the launch “strengthens WORQ’s transit-oriented coworking network.”
The bottom line
As the LRT3 Shah Alam Line begins service, WORQ stands alone as Malaysia’s first and largest transit-oriented coworking network: 13 locations, approximately 345,000 square feet, 12 hubs on the rail map, and a single membership that turns the entire Klang Valley train network into one connected workplace. Founded in Kuala Lumpur in 2016 to 2017 by Stephanie Ping and Andrew Yeow, WORQ remains Malaysian-owned, Malaysian-run and profitable, and it is on track toward 600,000 square feet by 2027.
With the rails now reaching further than ever, the message from WORQ is simple: wherever the train takes you in the Klang Valley, there is a WORQ ready to keep up.
