'''Kajang station''' is a [[Malaysia]]n [[railway station|railway]] and [[rapid transit]] station located near and named after the town of [[Kajang]], [[Selangor]]. The station is situated {{cvt|1|km|frac=8}} south of Kajang's town centre. The station is the namesake and southern terminus of the MRT Kajang Line.

== Services == The station is currently served by [[KTM Komuter]]'s {{lnl|KLRT|1}} and [[KTM ETS]] train services, as well as [[Rapid KL]]'s {{lnl|KLRT|9}}.

The current Kajang Komuter station inherits the original station's branch lines and responsibilities to manage [[Railroad switch|railway switches]], railway monitoring and goods delivery. The station employs a number of railway staff. The station is also connected to sheds for [[Maintenance of way|railway maintenance]] vehicles, as well as a warehouse. The station contains three [[Railway platform|platforms]]: Platform 1 is a [[side platform]] with full-length track and extended shed; Platforms 2 and 3 are an [[island platform]]. The platforms are lined along with a set of four main lines; three run between the two platforms and one runs along the other side of the island platform. The line between platforms 1 and 3 is the main route. Platform 2 can be used for any service, while the platform 3 line is only used when platform 2 is occupied by another train.

The MRT platforms are elevated, along with the new KTM concourse, replacing the former ground-level station. Feeder bus services are available as well. Paid-area integration between the KTM and MRT is not available as both systems are owned and operated by different companies; passengers are required to purchase separate tickets to enter each line and system.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.orientaldaily.com.my/s/205605|title=第一捷運7站銜接4種公交|work=東方網 - 馬來西亞東方日報|accessdate=2017-07-23|archive-date=2017-07-23|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170723112042/http://www.orientaldaily.com.my/s/205605|url-status=live}}</ref>

== History == The original station was opened in 1897. [[KTM Intercity]] services were provided for the town from its early years through the 20th century, while KTM Komuter services were introduced in the mid-1990s, when a new station adjoining ''Jalan Bukit'' ([[Malay language|Malay]]; English: Hill Road) was completed on the east side of the tracks to replace the older station adjoining ''Jalan Reko'' (Reko Road) on the west side of the tracks. {{UNMC-Kajang Shuttle Bus}}

===Renovations=== The KTM ground station has undergone a few remodellings throughout its service. The platforms were extended to support [[KTM Intercity]] trains that occasionally stretch longer than the station's platforma. A second access area for the station was completed and opened for access at the west side of the tracka in 2004, but has no operational [[Fare control|faregates]] and had only introduced manual ticketing services from early-2007 onwards. The installation of larger platform canopy roofs was also undertaken during the first half of 2007.

=== Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) === On 8 July 2011, the final alignment of the MRT Kajang Line was announced with 31 stations; Kajang railway station being one of the interchange stations. Active construction started around August 2012; it was completed and opened to the public on 17 July 2017, along with other Phase 2 stations on the line. At its opening, the station was the southernmost station in [[Rapid KL]]'s rail network until it was surpassed by {{mrts|Putrajaya Sentral}} on 16 March 2023.<ref>{{cite news |last=Artymiuk |first=Simon |date=March 16, 2023 |title=Services begin on Kuala Lumpur's MRT Putrajaya Line Phase 2 |url=https://www.railjournal.com/passenger/metros/services-begin-on-kuala-lumpurs-mrt-putrajaya-line-phase-2/ |work=IRJ |access-date=May 19, 2023}}</ref>

The MRT construction project included the rebuilding of the KTM station, with a new connecting stairwell and redesigned wayfinding sigsn in similar style to the MRT station. A shared elevated concourse was built over the existing KTM tracks. When the overhead concourse was finished, the KTM ticket counter, customer service counter and offices were moved to the Level 1 of the station beside the MRT customer service counter. The on-ground station building was then demolished, and stairs, escalators and lifts were added to link the platforms with the new concourse.

=== MRT Feeder Bus Services === With the opening of the MRT Kajang Line, feeder buses also began operating, linking the station with several housing areas and towns around the Kajang and Bangi areas.
