Gombak Integrated Transport Terminal (GITT) to start trial operations on March 15 – new East Coast gateway

The Gombak Integrated Transport Terminal (GITT), or Terminal Bersepadu Gombak, is expected to go into trial operation on March 15, serving as a drop-off point for passengers arriving from the East Coast, transport minister Anthony Loke has said, according to a Bernama report.

Strategically located along the Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2) and close to the Gombak toll plaza and Gombak LRT station, GITT will serve as the main transportation gateway to Pahang, Terengganu and Kelantan.

Loke said that if GITT can be fully operational by the end of this month, it will help reduce the Hari Raya Aidilfitri congestion at the Bandar Tasik Selatan Integrated Terminal (TBS). He added that GITT will begin passenger pick-up services a week later, and that bus tickets can be purchased at TBS as GITT ticket counters are not open yet.

“The ministry, together with the Public Works Department (JKR), will conduct a final inspection by the end of next week,” he told reporters after inspecting the terminal and its interconnectivity with the LRT and East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) services recently.

“Besides express buses, the terminal also connects to intercity buses and is integrated with the Gombak LRT station. Additionally, the construction for the Gombak ECRL station is underway,” he said, adding that ECRL construction is now 79% complete.

GITT will have convenience stores, food and beverage outlets, a 2,000-capacity multi-purpose hall and 1,200 parking lots. The seven-storey terminal is made up of three floors for bus services and four shopping floors. There are also dedicated platforms for persons with disabilities (PwD).

“When passengers purchase tickets, there is a feature that allows them to indicate if they are a PwD. The system will capture this information, ensuring that the bus is assigned to a PwD-friendly platform,” said Loke.
