Sungai Buloh station

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.

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.

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

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, part of whose structure is still being used and integrated with the new 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.[citation needed]

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.

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.
