Like most LRT stations operating in the Klang Valley, the station is an elevated station, which consists of two side platforms. It is connected to the street level by escalators, lifts and stairs. A pedestrian bridge over Persiaran Puchong Permai connects the station to the shops nearby, as well as a local supermarket. The station was built as part of the LRT Sri Petaling Line extension, which began construction in 2010 [2] and opened on 30 June 2016.[3]
The station is situated near OTK Supermarket, Taman Puchong Prima, Desa Idaman, Pangsapuri Lili, Pangsapuri Elina, as well as a secondary school. The station also serves residents from Bukit Puchong, Taman Tasik Prima, Meranti Jaya, Taman Puchong Permai and several other residential areas.
History
The extension of both the Sri Petaling Line and Kelana Jaya Line was announced on 29 August 2006 by the then government. The project was also confirmed by then Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi in his National Budget speech in 2006.[4]
The extension project, worth RM955.84 million,[5] was awarded to a joint venture (JV) consortium of George Kent (M) Bhd and its partner Lion Pacific Sdn Bhd.[6] Despite facing several delays,[7] the station was opened on 30 June 2016, along with the rest of the stations in the Sri Petaling Line extension and Kelana Jaya Line extension.[8][9]
Residents nearby have complained that the viaduct that supports the elevated railway tracks are blocking the views of motorists at a three-way junction on Jalan Prima 1, causing accidents to happen frequently.[10]
Station
Station layout
Due to the lack of space, a drop-off spot was built instead of a park-and-ride facility.[11] Two convenience stores, operated by Mynews.com and 7-Eleven can be found in the station, as well as a Pos Malaysia Kiosk.[12] The entire station is disabled-friendly, with accessibility lifts, accessible toilets, a special wide faregate for wheelchair users and tactile paving provided throughout the station. The trains and station platforms are level with one another, with a minimal gap between the two, allowing for easy boarding with a wheelchair.[13]
