The Kwasa Sentral station is an elevated station with the same standard elevated station design which was adopted for the MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line. Attached to the station are a major feeder bus terminal and an at-grade park and ride facility.

Station location

The station is located within the future Kwasa Damansara development. It is one of two stations – the other being Kwasa Damansara – which were built to serve the development. Currently, other than the station and its park and ride facility, there are no other buildings in the vicinity.

As the station is located away from Jalan Sungai Buloh (Malay; English: Sungai Buloh Road), access to the station is via a newly constructed road leading from the Jalan Sungai Buloh-Persiaran Sungai Buloh intersection.

History

edit

During the early stages of construction prior to the finalisation of station names, Kwasa Sentral station was known by the working name Taman Industri Sungai Buloh.[2]

Feeder bus services

edit

With the opening of the Kajang line, feeder buses also began operating linking the station with several housing areas in Kota Damansara and Subang (Section U3 and U5, Shah Alam). The feeder buses operate from the station's feeder bus hub adjacent to the station.
