The station is currently served by the KTM Komuter Seremban Line and KTM ETS train services. Since 17 July 2017, it is also served by the MRT Kajang Line.

The current Kajang Komuter station inherits the original station's branch lines and responsibilities to manage railway switches, railway monitoring and goods delivery. The station employs a number of railway staff. The station is also connected to sheds for railway maintenance vehicles, as well as a warehouse. The station contains three platforms: Platform 1 is a side platform with full-length track and extended shed; Platforms 2 and 3 are an island platform. The platforms are lined along with a set of four main lines; three run between the two platforms and one runs along the other side of the island platform. The line between platforms 1 and 3 is the main route. Platform 2 can be used for any service, while the platform 3 line is only used when platform 2 is occupied by another train.

The MRT platforms are elevated, along with the new KTM commuter platform replacing the ground-level station. Feeder bus services are available as well. Interchange between KTM and MRT is not possible, passengers are required to purchase separate tickets to enter the other station. [5]

History

The original station was opened in 1897. Intercity services were provided for the town from its early years through the 20th century, while KTM Komuter services were introduced in the mid-1990s, when a new station adjoining Jalan Bukit (Malay; English: Hill Road) was completed on the east side of the tracks to replace the older station adjoining Jalan Reko (Reko Road) on the west side of the tracks.

Renovations

The KTM ground station has undergone a few remodelings throughout its service. A platform was extended to support Intercity trains that occasionally stretch longer than the station's platform. A second access area for the station was completed and opened for access at the west side of the track in 2004, but has no operational faregates and had only introduced manual ticketing services from early-2007 onwards. The installation of larger platform canopy roofs was also undertaken during the first half of 2007.

Mass Rapid Transit

On 8 July 2011, the final alignment of the Kajang Line was announced with 31 stations; Kajang railway station being one of the interchange stations. Active construction started around August 2012; it was completed and opened to the public on 17 July 2017, along with other Phase 2 stations on the line. This station was the southernmost in the whole of the RapidKL rail network until March 16, 2023, after the Putrajaya Sentral station replaced Kajang as the southernmost station in the entire network. [6]

The MRT construction project included the rebuilding of the KTM service station, with new connecting stairwell and redesigned wayfinding sign in similar style to the MRT station. When the overhead platform for KTM commuter is finished, the KTM ticket counter, customer service and office are moved to the Level 1 of the station beside the MRT customer service counter. The on-ground station has since been demolished making Platform 1 no longer directly connected to the station as a side platform.
