Plans
editUnder the Ninth Malaysia Plan, a transportation hub known as the Gombak Integrated Transportation Terminal (GITT) was planned to cater for express buses coming in from the east coast of Malaysia, similar to Terminal Bersepadu Selatan, an integrated hub in Bandar Tasik Selatan.[4] As of 2022, construction has started and will also provide the LRT station with a connection to the future East Coast Rail Link (ECRL).[5][6][7]
