The Pusat Bandar Puchong LRT station is a light rapid transit (LRT) station serving the Puchong town centre in Selangor. It is part of the LRT Sri Petaling Line.[3] The station is located beside the busy Damansara–Puchong Expressway (LDP). Like most other LRT stations operating in the Klang Valley, this station is an elevated station, which consists of two side platforms.

The station is located near Lotus's Puchong and it is about 25 km south of Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. A pedestrian bridge over the LDP connects the station to SetiaWalk. The station also provides a direct link to Lotus's Puchong via a pedestrian bridge. It mainly serves the residences of Pusat Bandar Puchong, Taman Wawasan Puchong and Bandar Puteri Puchong. Shop lots can also be found near Lotus's Puchong, as well as SetiaWalk.

The station is a part of the LRT Sri Petaling Line extension project which was proposed in 2006. The station was opened on 31 March 2016 as part of the Phase 2 of the project, which included another 3 stations in Puchong.

History

[edit]

The extension of both Sri Petaling Line and Kelana Jaya Line was announced on 29 August 2006 by then Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia Najib Razak.[4] This was also confirmed by then Prime Minister of Malaysia Abdullah Ahmad Badawi in his National Budget speech in 2006.[5] The current site of the station was confirmed in 2007 and was initially named Bandar Metro Puchong.[6]

Construction started in 2010,[7] while fault-free test runs of the trains at the station started on 22 January 2016.[8] Although it faced some delays,[9] the station was opened on 31 March 2016, as part of the second phase of the extension project.[10]

The construction was claimed to have caused damages on the roads and shops in the nearby areas.[11] The construction of the extension project was also said to have caused flash floods in the area surrounding the station.[12][13] The slow progress of the construction raised many complaints by the residents nearby.[14] It also caused a disruption of businesses to the shop owners nearby as the construction occupied the parking spaces provided in the area.[15]

Incidents and accidents

[edit]

An Indian man was found dead 100 metres away from the station.[16] Based on the station's CCTV footage, the man was walking on the tracks before he was hit by the train.[17][18] The victim was pronounced dead at the scene. The accident caused the service of the line to be temporarily disrupted to allow police to remove the body from the location.[19]

In October 2018, the lift of the station broke down[a] and caused disabled commuters to be stranded at the station.[20][21] Prasarana Malaysia later apologised and the lift was repaired by the next day.[22]

On 3 June 2025, a 63-year-old[23] Taiwanese man was pronounced dead after falling onto the LRT tracks at this station.[24] Based on CCTV footage, initial reports suggested that the death was an accident. The Royal Malaysian Police have opened an investigation into the matter.[25]

Park-and-ride facilities are provided in the station with 120 parking bays.[26] A convenience store, operated by 7-Eleven as well as a cafe, can be found in the station. As a part of the initiative of making all stations accessible to the disabled, the station provides disabled-friendly facilities such as accessibility lifts, accessible toilets, special gate entrance for wheelchair users, and tactile paving provided throughout the station. The platform gap is reduced to a minimum to allow easy boarding for wheelchair users.[27]

Green Practices

As part of a green initiative launched by Prasarana, the station includes several green practices. Energy-efficient lights and rainwater harvesting systems were installed, and the glass louvers were designed to allow sunlight into the stations. The construction of the station utilized sustainable materials and recycling practices.[28]
