And as it zoomed towards the Phileo Damansara stop, the ponds and immaculately-groomed lawns of the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club (KLGCC) were pleasing to the eye. Further up, between the Kwasa Damansara (a new township that is being developed) and Kampung Selamat MRT stops, natural lakes and lush forests were a sight to behold.
As for the MRT Sungai Buloh station, it is a huge, three-level modern complex that’s connected with the Sungai Buloh railway station.
Launched last mid-December, the stop is the northern terminus of the MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang (SBK) line. The 51km track with 32 stops begins in Sungai Buloh (north west of Kuala Lumpur) and runs through the city centre before ending in Kajang, Selangor (south-east of Kuala Lumpur).
The station has two entrances namely A and B. The former which is the main access point to the common concourse serving both MRT and KTM commuters on the first floor can be accessed via an escalator, elevator or staircase. These are at ground level close to where the MRT feeder bus hub and passenger drop-off points are.
Feeder buses from the station take you to several housing areas, villages and places in and near Sungai Buloh. These include Hospital Sungai Buloh, UiTM (Universiti Teknologi Mara) Sungai Buloh, Kampung Melayu Sungai Buloh, Jalan Paya Jaras Tengah, Persiaran Bukit Rahman Putra 1 and Prima Damansara.
To get to the former leprosy settlement take bus number T100.
