Taman Connaught MRT station

The Taman Connaught MRT station is an elevated mass rapid transit station on the MRT Kajang Line, located in Taman Connaught, in the subdistrict of Cheras in southeastern Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Its exact location is next to the Cheras Sentral shopping mall, where the southern end of the Cheras Highway (Federal Route 1, also known as Jalan Cheras) meets the northern end of the Cheras-Kajang Expressway (CKE), close to the Kuala Lumpur-Selangor state border.

The station is also near the Cheras-Kajang Interchange of the Sungai Besi–Ulu Klang Elevated Expressway (SUKE). The elevated expressway was built even higher above the road than the already towering MRT tracks.

It was opened on 17 July 2017, along with 19 adjoining stations (from Muzium Negara to Kajang) as part of Phase 2 of the system.

The station was provisionally named Phoenix Plaza station during construction. Plaza Phoenix was the former name of the Cheras Sentral shopping centre.

The station has a layout and design similar to that of most other elevated stations on the line (except the termini), with the platform level on the topmost floor, consisting of two sheltered side platforms along a double tracked railway line and a single concourse housing ticketing facilities between the ground level and the platform level. Lifts, stairways and escalators link all levels.

The station has three entrances - Entrance A and Entrance B on either side of the Cheras Highway (Jalan Cheras), and Entrance C on Jalan 3/144A inside Taman Connaught. A link bridge also connects the station via the link bridges to Entrance A and Entrance C with the Cheras Sentral shopping mall.

Each entrance has a separate feeder bus service line.

With the opening of the MRT Kajang Line, feeder buses also began operating linking the station with several housing areas around the Taman Connaught, Sungai Besi, Cheras Awana and Alam Damai areas.
