Location

The Gombak station is a major Malaysian interchange station located in the Gombak District of the state of Selangor, Malaysia. It is the northern terminus of the LRT Kelana Jaya Line. The station mainly consist of the elevated LRT station, integrated with the Terminal Bersepadu Gombak (TBG) bus terminal complex and connected to the future East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) station.^[3]^[4]

There is a ticket counter for buses to Genting Highlands, with buses departing to the Genting Skyway station every half-hour.^[5] These buses are operated by Genting Malaysia Berhad. This station is normally utilised by residents of Kuala Lumpur, especially those living around the Setapak area when they are going to Genting.

The Gombak toll plaza, the beginning of the East Coast Expressway, is one kilometre north from this station.

Lines

LRT Kelana Jaya Line

An elevated light rapid transit (LRT) station is the base of this station complex, along with a multi-storey parking lot building. Both the station, then known as Terminal PUTRA, opened in 1999 as the northeastern terminus of the Kelana Jaya Line (then known as the PUTRA LRT).

This station contains two levels: The access point, ticket machines and concourse are all on street level, while the platforms are on the first and only elevated level. All levels are linked via stairways, escalators and elevators designated for physically challenged passengers. The station uses a single island platform between two tracks, both tracks for trains travelling in the direction of Putra Heights, and is entirely sheltered by a gabled roof supported by latticed frames.

East Coast Rail Link (ECRL)

A train station that will be served by the East Coast Railway Link (ECRL) is currently under construction near the LRT station. Once completed, it will be integrated with the LRT station and the Terminal Bersepadu Gombak (TBG) bus hub. The station is situated on the Gombak spur line of the railway line, with the station serveing as the terminus of the spur line.

It will have a side platform and an island platform, which will serve trains up to Kota Bharu, Kelantan and the East Coast region of Peninsular Malaysia, as well as the northwestern and western sides of the state of Selangor such as Puncak Alam and Port Klang.

Terminal Bersepadu Gombak

Terminal Bersepadu Gombak (TBG; lit.: Gombak Integrated Terminal), also known as ITT Gombak, is a major long-distance bus terminal located behind and is physically connected to the Gombak LRT station via a covered pedestrian walkway.

TBG is one of the three planned Integrated Transport Terminals (ITT) in Greater Kuala Lumpur, part of the decentralisation strategy for public transport alongside Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS; lit.: Southern Integrated Terminal) for the south and the planned Sungai Buloh ITT for the north.^[6] It serves as the principal hub for express buses heading to the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia (Pahang, Terengganu and Kelantan).

History

The terminal was conceived to modernise express bus services and relieve congestion in the city centre. Originally, East Coast-bound buses operated from the Pekeliling Bus Terminal near Titiwangsa station or TBS.

Construction and Delays

Construction of the terminal, initially named Terminal Bersepadu Timur (Eastern Integrated Terminal), began near the Gombak LRT station with an original opening target of 2020. The project faced significant delays, most notably due to a structural collapse incident on 23 May 2019, which resulted in the deaths of five workers.^[7]^[8]

Opening

The project, which totaled a cost of RM307.4 million, eventually commenced operations in phases in March 2025:

15 March 2025: Opened for bus arrivals.^[9]
22 March 2025: Opened for bus departures.

The ceremonial official opening was officiated by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on 29 September 2025.^[10]

Location and facilities

The terminal is strategically sited next to the Kuala Lumpur Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2) and the Kuala Lumpur–Karak Expressway, allowing East Coast buses to bypass the heavy traffic of Kuala Lumpur city centre.

Facilities include a Centralised Ticketing System (CTS) to eliminate touting, 60 bus platforms, 150 taxi bays, and park-and-ride facilities.
