There will be free rides on the KTM Komuter from the new Kajang 2 station, from today till Sunday, April 16. This is in conjunction with the official opening of the new station, which is situated along Jalan Reko, between the existing Kajang and UKM stations. The free rides are to all KTM Komuter destinations, from Kajang 2.
Yesterday, transport minister Anthony Loke officially launched the Kajang 2 station, which opened its gates to the public on March 13. The MoT says that the station is an achievement by Railway Assets Corporation (RAC) in the realisation of a Transit Oriented Development (TOD), via a Private Public Partnership (PPP).
PPPs allow the government to provide good public facilities within a shorter timeframe, the ministry said. They did not name the private company, but it should be MKH Berhad. The new station’s name is taken from MKH’s Kajang 2 township and company’s logo appeared on the ‘opening soon’ banners released earlier. Good news then for those who live in Kajang 2, Bangi and the surrounding areas.

At first I thought free KTM motorbike rides..after reading it..hmmm..
As a resident in the area, I appreciate having this station as it is nearer than UKM or Kajang, also reducing car park congestion in those 2 stations.
However what is still lacking (maybe its being planned) is the first/last mile connectivity to/from residents housing areas. If you have no transport, the only other option is to take Grab which is not exactly cheap.
Cycling may be an option but secured bike parking is not really a thing yet in this country.
40 minutes interval and travel time too long. Pitifully FREE also people choose to take mrt.
I agree that the interval between trains are too long. However I disagree in terms of travel time. It’s much faster to get to KL Sentral by KTM as there are far less stops in between.
