Terminal Bersepadu Gombak

Terminal Bersepadu Gombak (TBG, lit.: Gombak Integrated Terminal) is a large long-distance bus terminal in Gombak at near the Selangor-Kuala Lumpur border. It is connected to the adjacent Gombak LRT station via a covered pedestrian walkway.

History

TBG is one of the three planned Integrated Transport Terminal (ITT) in Kuala Lumpur (Bandar Tasik Selatan ITT, Gombak ITT and Sungai Buloh ITT) ^[6] TBG was intended to serve as an express bus terminal serving buses bound for the East Coast region.

Originally, express bus terminals for East Coast buses were located in Putra Bus Terminal near Putra Komuter station. In order to modernize express bus services, Putra Bus Terminal was closed on 1 December 2014 and all East Coast bus operators in Terminal Putra moved to Terminal Bersepadu Selatan. ^[7]

At the same time, Terminal Bersepadu Gombak (nominal name was Terminal Bersepadu Timur) has started construction near the Gombak LRT station. Originally slated to open in 2020, the project suffered several delays, one of them credited to structure collapse incident that killed 5 people in 2019. ^{[8] [9]} The project, which costed RM307.4 million in total eventually opens for operation on 15 March 2025 for arrivals and 22 March for departures. ^[10] The ceremonial official opening by the Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim was done on 29 September 2025. ^[11]
