Rawang commuters who use the KTM Komuter daily, take note. The KTM Rawang station car park and the open area in front of the station (facing the main road) will be fully closed from tomorrow (November 8). This is to make way for the construction of a four-storey car park building.
According to Railway Assets Corporation (RAC), the new car park building is a Park & Ride initiative by the transport ministry to improve public facilities and encourage the use of rail transport by providing a safer and more comfortable car park. RAC is the implementing agency tasked to build the facility, which will cost RM54 million.
The four-storey car park building will have 494 parking lots, including four lots for OKUs, and 104 motorcycle parking lots. The project is expected to be completed in November 2025, which is three years from now.
Aside from the four-storey car park building, there will also be a “Drop by Zone” for easier pick up and drop off by buses, taxis and private vehicles. Other facilities included in the project are toilets, lifts, street lamps, walkways and CCTVs.
In the meantime, RAC is proposing alternative parking areas, such as at the Rawang bus terminal (200 metres away) and also parking lots at KTM stations in Kuang, Sungai Buloh and Serendah. This is effective tomorrow, so Rawang folk, share the news with your friends and family members if they’re KTM Komuter users.

Rawang is known for its jammed. Something good is on the way, but before that people have to suffer for several more years.
You can’t make an omelette without breaking few eggs.
Habislah…. once it is built, pray all the surrounding car parks would not be limited to 2-hour like in Subang.
Question: Is Rawang under inept PH Selangor territory? If yes, expect more such ineptness from PH Selangor.
Rawang Town is already very jam every day. When the park and ride is complete in three years time, it will cause more traffic congestion. Why not build the park and ride in Serendah instead? It only 5 minutes from Rawang Town.
i live around that area and seriously doubt it is 5 min from Rawang Town
You think Serendah so near ah? 5 minutes by car is 30mins by foot. Who will want to use a PnR in the middle of nowhere ah? You?
Should build inside the Rawang KTM pay parking instead of road side I don’t think there is enough space for a 4 storeys parking. Must be very sempit
Dear RAC,
I love using trains, I love all the EMU but please improve on train frequency, shorten waiting time, speed up repair & maintanence, it’s taking too long to upgrade the rails, and frustrating as it affects operation time
KTM tak convenience pakai going to office. U’ll spend too much time getting to the station, waiting then transit in the train. Hopefully Kepong MRT will extend phase to here in the future.
More jams and double parking congestion on the main toad. Can’t imagine it for 3 years.
Improve the KTM train frequency or extend the MRT service to Rawang .
Please increase frequency n direct train during office hours . Very frustrating for passengers to transit at MRT sungai buloh as it consume so much travelling time . Moreover, senior citizens, moms with kids n pregnant ladies are not finding hassle n lost when use public transport . Urging participating parties to improve n provide better fix for it
Thanks but just my opinion, wld a lighter weight construction be considered /solution to save on the shor time and cost? I remember some hypermarket as a building can be completed within less than a year?
It may solve some parking space problem but not traffic jam problem. It is the attitude of the people you can see they mindlessly double park at nearby roadside. They are not willing to accept a little trouble going inside a building to park. You can see it yourself at Rawang Market.
