Hotels near Bank Negara MRT

Bank Negara MRT located nearby the notable Bank Negara office and before the electrification works began to build this station, there was a halt located just about 30 metres from the present location. The diesel engine trains used to pick up passengers for as low as RM1.00 per trip and after a few years, it was dismantled and leave just a patch of hillside. Between 1990 and 1994 during preparation for the launch of KTM Komuter services, the present halt was formed during the double tracking and electrification of railway lines in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and Negeri Sembilan.

Since its opening in 1995, the halt has remained unchanged in both its position in the railway system and layout. The halt underwent major reconstruction in June 2007 which features ticketing booth, ticket vending machines, prayer area and retail outlets as well as common entrance to the two platforms and lifts for passengers for disabled people.
