Bandar Tasik Selatan KLIA Transit Station
Bandar Tasik Selatan Station is an interchange station located on the
outskirts of the capital, Kuala Lumpur. The Station serves as both a stop
and interchange for KLIA Transit, KTM Komuter,
RapidKL LRT Sri Petaling Line
and RapidKL buses. It is integrated with the Terminal Bersepadu Selatan bus
hub (TBS). Bandar Tasik Selatan Station and TBS are developed as an
intermodal transportation hub.
The Station is accessible via the Kuala Lumpur Middle Ring Road (MRR2) from
the southeast and indirectly, the Sungai Besi Expressway from the west.
The Bandar Tasik Selatan Express Rail Link station is the latest stop added
into the Bandar Tasik Selatan interchange, beginning operation on June 20,
2002 as part of a 5-station KLIA Transit airport rail link between the
Kuala Lumpur International
Airport (KLIA) and Kuala Lumpur Sentral (KL Sentral).
Rather than sharing a common access point with the
Komuter halt and the
LRT Sri Petaling Line station,
the KLIA Transit Station was constructed as an entirely dedicated structure
towards the northwest from the KTM Komuter
halt, with its own access point towards the northwest via Kampung Malaysia
Tambahan to Jalan Sungai Besi (a branch road from the Sungai Besi
Expressway).
The only direct linkage between the KLIA Transit Station and the other two
stations is a 95 metre footbridge over the KLIA Transit / Ekspres tracks and
the KTM tracks into the ticket area of the
Komuter halt, thus serving as a second access point to both the
KTM Komuter halt and the
LRT Sri Petaling Line station.
The Station was built in a unique design that incorporated large
semicircular roofs as shelters for platforms with multi-tiered roofs for the
rest of the building, similar to the adjoining
LRT Sri Petaling Line station.
Unlike both the KTM Komuter halt or the
LRT Sri Petaling Line station,
however, the Station provides support for disabled passengers, with
elevators and inclinations up and down uneven walkways, alongside stairways
and escalators in all relevant areas of the station. The Station also
features two island platforms along four tracks, and basic ticket counters.
