The Putra Komuter station is a Malaysian commuter rail train station in Kuala Lumpur. It is named in part after the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (formerly known as the Putra World Trade Centre).
Part of the KTM West Coast railway line, the station is part of a common KTM Komuter route served by both the Batu Caves–Pulau Sebang Line (which continues on a branch line towards Batu Caves) and the Tanjung Malim–Port Klang Line (which continues on the main line towards Tanjung Malim). The station is also the northernmost station on the KTM Komuter network where trains from both lines stop, acting as an interchange for both lines.
During British colonial rule, there existed a halt known as Maxwell Road Halt on this site, named after the nearby former Maxwell Road (now Jalan Tun Ismail).[1]
The halt was re-built during the double tracking and electrification of railway lines in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and Negeri Sembilan between 1990 and 1994 to primarily serve KTM Komuter services. Since beginning operations with the launch of KTM Komuter in 1995, the station has remained relatively unchanged in both its position in the railway system and station design. In mid-2007 the station underwent one significant upgrade.
