A total of 26 stations were planned before the new government revised the scheme, with a proposed two-kilometre distance between each station. One station was to be an underground station, with the other 25 being elevated.

The LRT3 will feature a few interchange stations. The planned interchanges are  SBK09  Bandar Utama of the MRT Kajang Line and  KJ27  CGC-Glenmarie of LRT Kelana Jaya Line.

The alignment is based on the Final Railway Scheme approved by the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD).

Due to the change of government in 2018 Malaysian general election, the new Pakatan Harapan government decided to cost-cut the project and shelved six stations from the initial plan. The Lien Hoe, Temasya, SIRIM, Bukit Raja and Bandar Botanik stations were converted into provisional stations while the underground station of Persiaran Hishamuddin was cancelled. The reasons cited for the changes made were due to the high cost of the project, unnecessary tunneling for the underground portion of the line and low ridership in the area. The provisional stations however will be built once the demand in the area picks up.[6][7]

Other cost-cutting exercises including the swapping of six-car trains for three-car trains, cutting down the total trains from 42 to 22, reducing the size of the stations and ditching costly acceleration techniques. The completion date also was extended from 2020 to 2024.[6][7]

• The 37-km rail line with 25 elevated stations.
• It is seamlessly connected with the:
  • Kajang Line at  SBK09  Bandar Utama terminus
  • Kelana Jaya Line at  KJ27  CGC-Glenmarie LRT station
  • Initially, Klang station will be an interchange station with the KTM Komuter. However, due to the effort to reduce cost, the station will be built further away from the KTM Komuter station, resulting a same-name but different stations situation, similar to Salak Selatan and Sentul stations.[32]
• LRT3 will be connected with 2 retail malls, namely TESCO Bukit Tinggi and AEON Bukit Tinggi in Bandar Bukit Tinggi, Klang.[33]
• LRT3 will be equipped with the latest technologies including Communications-Based Train Controls (CBTC), Automatic Train Controls (ATC), Passenger Information Display System (PIDS), fire protection system and closed-circuit television (CCTV) system.
• LRT3 trains will have a maximum operating speed of 80 km/h (17% faster than the current Kelana Jaya Line) with the capacity of carrying 36,720 passengers per hour per direction.[34]
• LRT3 is one out of four rapid transit lines in the Klang Valley that does not serve KL Sentral, the other three being the Ampang Line, Sri Petaling Line and the future Putrajaya Line, as well as the first rapid transit line in the Klang Valley that is entirely outside the borders of the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur.
• Reportedly, a planned underground station along Persiaran Hishamuddin is shelved and will possibly be replaced by a ground-level or elevated station instead, following objections from local residents. It will hence leave LRT3 without underground tracks, similar to the Ampang Line and KTM Komuter.[35]
