The station is on the MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line. It was opened on 17 July 2017 as part of Phase Two operations of the MRT line.

Station features

Station location

The station is an underground station located next to Jalan Tun Razak near the Kampung Pandan Roundabout in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The station is planned to be an integral part of the future Tun Razak Exchange financial district, and is located at the eastern edge of the development. In view of this, the interior design of the station was given the theme "Islamic corporate" and adopts the Islamic geometric motifs on its pillars and walls.

Station layout

This station is the deepest station on the MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang line and has 7 underground levels in addition to the ground level. Of the 7 levels, 4 are public floors while the others house machinery and equipment.

Exits and Entrances

The station has two entrances, Entrance A at the northern end of the station and Entrance B at the southern end. Both entrances have escalators, stairs and lifts. The entrances are located at the ground level plazas allowing access to the station access road which runs from Jalan Delima to Jalan Tun Razak.

Future integration with the MRT Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya Line

The Tun Razak Exchange station is designed as an interchange station with the MRT Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya Line, making it the second interchange between the two lines, the other being Kwasa Damansara. As a result, the Tun Razak Exchange has a stacked island platform configuration, to enable cross platform transfers between the MRT lines. The platforms for the Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya Line are currently boarded up.
When the Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya Line opens, the station will be one of Malaysia's two underground-to-underground interchange stations, the other one being Ampang Park.

History

The area in which the station is located was previously occupied by quarters allocated to Government employees. The quarters were demolished and at the spot where the station is located currently, an arts and craft market was established, with the name "Pasar Rakyat" or "People's Market". Because of this, the working name for the Tun Razak Exchange Station was the Pasar Rakyat Station.
