Terminal Meru Raya (formerly known as Terminal Amanjaya) is a major express bus terminal in Ipoh, state capital of Perak, Malaysia.
Originally, the major terminal in Ipoh was located in Medan Gopeng. However, to modernize the transportation system of the city, the state government decided to build a new terminal in Meru Raya near Jelapang. The terminal was built with the cost of RM140 million.
While it has started initial operation in 2012, bus operators were reluctant to move to the new terminal. After talks with the state government, all remaining operators in Medan Gopeng moved to the new terminal from April 9, 2013.[1]
In 2019, the terminal was renamed Terminal Meru Raya under the suggestion of the then-Menteri Besar of Perak, Ahmad Faizal Azumu, citing that the old name was inaccurate to the place it belongs to.[2]
