Kajang station is a Malaysian railway and rapid transit station located near and named after the town of Kajang, Selangor. The station is situated 1 km (0.62 mi) south of Kajang's town centre. The station is the namesake and southern terminus of the MRT Kajang Line.
Services
The station is currently served by KTM Komuter's and KTM ETS train services, as well as Rapid KL's .
The current Kajang Komuter station inherits the original station's branch lines and responsibilities to manage railway switches, railway monitoring and goods delivery. The station employs a number of railway staff. The station is also connected to sheds for railway maintenance vehicles, as well as a warehouse. The station contains three platforms: Platform 1 is a side platform with full-length track and extended shed; Platforms 2 and 3 are an island platform. The platforms are lined along with a set of four main lines; three run between the two platforms and one runs along the other side of the island platform. The line between platforms 1 and 3 is the main route. Platform 2 can be used for any service, while the platform 3 line is only used when platform 2 is occupied by another train.
The MRT platforms are elevated, along with the new KTM concourse, replacing the former ground-level station. Feeder bus services are available as well. Paid-area integration between the KTM and MRT is not available as both systems are owned and operated by different companies; passengers are required to purchase separate tickets to enter each line and system.[5]
History
The original station was opened in 1897. KTM Intercity services were provided for the town from its early years through the 20th century, while KTM Komuter services were introduced in the mid-1990s, when a new station adjoining Jalan Bukit (Malay; English: Hill Road) was completed on the east side of the tracks to replace the older station adjoining Jalan Reko (Reko Road) on the west side of the tracks.
Renovations
The KTM ground station has undergone a few remodellings throughout its service. The platforms were extended to support KTM Intercity trains that occasionally stretch longer than the station's platforma. A second access area for the station was completed and opened for access at the west side of the tracka in 2004, but has no operational faregates and had only introduced manual ticketing services from early-2007 onwards. The installation of larger platform canopy roofs was also undertaken during the first half of 2007.
Mass Rapid Transit (MRT)
On 8 July 2011, the final alignment of the MRT Kajang Line was announced with 31 stations; Kajang railway station being one of the interchange stations. Active construction started around August 2012; it was completed and opened to the public on 17 July 2017, along with other Phase 2 stations on the line. At its opening, the station was the southernmost station in Rapid KL's rail network until it was surpassed by on 16 March 2023.[6]
The MRT construction project included the rebuilding of the KTM station, with a new connecting stairwell and redesigned wayfinding sigsn in similar style to the MRT station. A shared elevated concourse was built over the existing KTM tracks. When the overhead concourse was finished, the KTM ticket counter, customer service counter and offices were moved to the Level 1 of the station beside the MRT customer service counter. The on-ground station building was then demolished, and stairs, escalators and lifts were added to link the platforms with the new concourse.
