Ampang Park LRT station is a light rapid transit (LRT) station in Kuala Lumpur that is served by RapidKL's LRT Kelana Jaya Line. The LRT station is the last underground station on the Kelana Jaya Line along Jalan Ampang, near the Jalan Tun Razak intersection, before the line heads above ground again at Damai LRT station.

The LRT station is close to Citibank's Malaysian headquarters, as well as the US Embassy, the Singapore High Commission, the Canadian High Commission, and the British High Commission which are all located in the area of Jalan Tun Razak, known as "Embassy Row". It named after and located beside the former site of the first Malaysian shopping centre, Ampang Park Shopping Centre.

This LRT station, despite sharing the same name, is not integrated and not to be confused with the separate Ampang Park MRT station, which is serviced by the MRT Putrajaya Line instead. Paid zone-to-paid zone integration was once proposed but not constructed at the moment. Passengers are required to tap out from one station, exit the station at ground level and walk along a covered walkway to the entrance of the other station to transfer between the lines.

History

This station was opened on 1 June 1999, as Phase Two of the PUTRA LRT system, which ran from Masjid Jamek to Terminal PUTRA (Gombak). The exterior building design of the Ampang Park LRT underground station was done by NEUformation. The station shape, created as a series of inclined glass planar surfaces, implies motion in keeping with the concept of the LRT system as a future mode of transit.^[1]

Layout

The station consists of three levels, with the entrance on ground level while the ticketing area, concourse and platforms are underground. Similar to all Kelana Jaya Line underground stations, the Ampang Park station features an island platform sandwiched between two railway tracks for each direction.

Paid-to-paid interchange between the Kelana Jaya Line and the Putrajaya Line, both underground, was planned for Ampang Park station; the integration was scrapped in favour of an out-of-station interchange due to cost-cutting measures.^[2] Passengers will have to tap out from one line, resurface to ground level, and enter the other underground station when changing between the two lines with a 7 minutes walking time between platforms.
