The short answer
Wangsa Maju is KJ3 on the LRT Kelana Jaya Line, between Taman Melati (KJ2) and Sri Rampai (KJ4), within DBKL’s jurisdiction; it opened in 1999. The operator’s Park & Ride listing gives the station car park as provided by DBKL. On 15 October 2024, an unusual flow of rainwater entered the at-grade track between Wangsa Maju and Sri Rampai, and service was restored the same afternoon.

The station itself
Wangsa Maju station entered service in 1999, when the Kelana Jaya Line opened its section to Gombak. Records differ on the exact day: some give 1 June, others 25 June.
The operator’s Park & Ride page lists the car park at Wangsa Maju as provided by DBKL, rather than as one of Prasarana’s own Park & Ride facilities.
