Universiti is a light rapid transit (LRT) station in Kuala Lumpur served by the Kelana Jaya Line. This station serves the local population of University of Malaya and neighbouring Bangsar South, Pantai Dalam and Pantai Hill Park.
Station naming rights program
The station was renamed to KL Gateway–Universiti after Suez Capital, a local property development was given naming rights by Prasarana Malaysia. KL Gateway is the major redevelopment of Kampung Kerinchi into premium residential, shopping mall & office tower.
It is the first three stations under pilot program of Station Naming Rights since launched in October 2015.[1] Nonetheless, the contract was presumed to be terminated in 2021 as all signs bearing the KL Gateway prefix were removed from the station. Likewise, announcement of the station name on trains do not include the prefix as of March 2022.[2]
