Kampung Selamat Putrajaya Line Damansara Damai

The Sungai Buloh station is an integrated railway station serving the suburb of Sungai Buloh in Selangor, Malaysia, which is located to the northwest of Kuala Lumpur.

Contents

It is an interchange station, with one section catering to the KTM Komuter Tanjung Malim-Port Klang Line and KTM ETS services, and another section for the MRT Putrajaya Line (formerly the MRT Kajang line). However, there is no paid-area integration between both sections as the two services use different ticketing systems. The newly built integrated station was opened on 16 December 2016 together with the opening of the first phase of the Kajang Line. [1]

The station was the northern terminus of the Kajang Line until October 2021. The MRT station was closed along with  PY03  Kampung Selamat and  KG04  PY01  Kwasa Damansara until the opening of the Putrajaya line. [2] Their transfer to the Putrajaya line was completed when it began partial operations on 16 June 2022. [3]

Location

The station is located north of Jalan Kuala Selangor near the intersection with Jalan Sungai Buloh, and also Jalan Hospital. The station is located at the same location as the former Sungai Buloh railway station, of which part of the structure is still being used and integrated with the new station. [4]

History

First station

The first Sungai Buloh railway station opened in 1892 when the section of the main railway line, now the KTM West Coast Line between Batu Junction and Rawang was opened.

Old KTM Komuter station

The station underwent refurbishment as part of the Klang Valley Electrification and Double Tracking Project which saw the station becoming one of the stations of the KTM Komuter service in 1995. The station was originally on the Rawang-Seremban Line until 2016 when a revamp of the KTM Komuter service saw the station serving the KTM Tanjung Malim-Port Klang Line with trains running between Tanjung Malim and Port Klang.

The station had four tracks, with two side platforms serving the two outer tracks, and the two inner tracks served as bypass tracks for freight trains that did not stop at the station. A pedestrian overhead bridge, which later had lifts to make the bridge disabled friendly, linked to the two platforms. The main entrance together with the main station building was located on the south-bound platform.

Integrated interchange station

Sungai Buloh MRT station

When construction of the Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Project began in 2010, the MRT station was designed to be one of four interchange stations between the MRT Kajang Line (prior to the switch to the Putrajaya Line) and the Keretapi Tanah Melayu railway network. The other interchange stations are Muzium Negara (to KL Sentral), Pasar Seni (to Kuala Lumpur) and Kajang.

The new station was constructed next to then existing KTM station building, occupying what was previously the at-grade open-air car park. The MRT section and common concourse of the station, which is partially over KTM tracks, was built while the KTM station remained in-operation throughout the construction period.

The integrated station opened as part of the opening of Phase One of the MRT Kajang Line on 16 December 2016. [5]

With the completion and opening of the new integrated station, the old KTM station structure was dismantled. The KTM ticketing office and other offices were relocated from the old station to the common concourse of the new station building. Only the original KTM station platforms were retained, while the old entrance at the southbound platform was sealed off. The platforms were renovated to enable access to the new KTM concourse.

Park and ride facility

As part of the construction of the MRT Kajang Line, a six-storey multi-storey park and ride facility was also constructed at this station. The facility has 1,236 parking bays for cars and 258 for motorcycles. The parking charge is RM4.30 per day far cars and RM1.10 for motorcycles. Parking can only be paid by using Touch 'n Go cards.

The Sungai Buloh station is served by the following train services:

When Phase One operations for the MRT Putrajaya Line began on 16 June 2022, this station became a part of this line. It ceased to be part of the Kajang Line. The portion of the line between this station and Kwasa Damansara was transferred to the Putrajaya Line, making Kwasa Damansara the new northern terminus of the Kajang Line as well as the Putrajaya Line.

The feeder buses operate from the station's feeder bus hub accessed via Entrance A of the station. [8] Initially there are 4 feeder bus routes introduced during the opening of MRT Sungai Buloh station in 2016.
