Top Hotels near Gombak LRT Station

Gombak LRT station is a landmark of an elevated rapid transit station situated in the district of Gombak, Selangor, Malaysia, serving a single line that forms part of the Kelana Jaya Line of the Rapid Rail system. Like most of the stations under RapidKL, this station has a two-tier layout design, with ticketing counters and stations as well as staff rooms on the lower level, and the two-sided platforms and bi-directional tracks on the higher level.

At the same time, there is also ticket counter for buses to Genting Highlands, with buses departing to the Genting Skyway station every half an hour being operated by Resorts World Berhad. The reason behind this type of design is to bypass the road traffic and to avoid the railway from becoming a blocking point for road users. Under the Ninth Malaysia Plan, the LRT station is planned for a transformation into a transportation hub to cater for express buses coming in from the east coast area of Malaysia, where this will replace the congested Putra Bus Terminal.

However, there are no design plans have been released nor have construction activities been initiated on the station. In present instead, the MRL East Coast Rail Link Phase 1 is planned to start from this station towards the eastern states of Pahang, Terengganu and Kelantan. An Integrated Transport Terminal known as ITT Gombak will also be built here to serve buses arriving from the East Coast region.
