Gombak Integrated Transport Terminal Station Opens March 15

The Integrated Transport Terminal Gombak (TBG) will officially open to the public on March 15, as announced by Transport Minister Anthony Loke on Tuesday. The bus terminal will initially only be used for drop-offs, as some minor issues are still being addressed.

“We still need to make some improvement so a few things including user comfort features specially the facilities for persons with disabilities.

“Once these are ready, we target to commence operations of the terminal on March 15,” Loke said in a Malay Mail report.

To enhance connectivity and passenger movement between the station and terminal, Loke stated that the ministry is currently looking into several options, including the installation of a moving walkway or travelator to connect the East Coast Rail Link’s (ERCL) Gombak station and the TBG.

“We are looking at constructing either an escalator or [travelator] to connect the station and terminal to ease passenger travel.

“The distance from the terminal is 100 metres, while it’s 79 metres to the LRT Ampang line Gombak terminal, so with a [travelator] or escalator it will better for passengers’ commute,” said Loke.

The minister assured that the bus terminal at TBG will start operating and accepting passenger drop-offs in the last week of Ramadan, given that all aspects proceed smoothly. Bus tickets for this terminal will be available for purchase at a later date, he added.

Previously, local news portals and terminal social media posts indicated that operations will begin on February 16. Inspections later found that the terminal had not yet opened to the public, despite announcements on local websites and social media indicating otherwise.

The Gombak Integrated Transport Terminal Station will be a key transportation hub, connecting bus services with LRT and major rail projects such as the planned East Coast Rail Link. This integration will simplify travel to the capital city from the East Coast states of Pahang, Terengganu, and Kelantan.
