The Government of Malaysia has inaugurated the Terminal Bersepadu Gombak (TBG), a major transport hub designed to serve as the Klang Valley’s primary gateway to the East Coast. Located adjacent to the upcoming East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) station, the facility is expected to catalyse development along the ECRL corridor, particularly in Kelantan and Pahang.
Developed under the Build-Lease-Maintain-Operate-Transfer (BLMOT) model at a cost of MYR307.4 million, TBG will be managed by concessionaire TEGAS for 25 years before being handed back to the government. The fully integrated terminal features 36 bus bays, more than 1,000 parking spaces, food courts, retail outlets, prayer rooms, waiting areas, and seamless access via walkalators to the ECRL station. Transport Minister Anthony Loke noted that the terminal will operate 24 hours and gradually consolidate express bus services for East Coast routes, ensuring a smooth transition.
Authorities plan to enhance TBG’s role as a transit-oriented development (TOD) hub by encouraging nearby commercial and residential growth. The government is also considering opening service counters for agencies such as Immigration, the National Registration Department (NRD), and the Road Transport Department (RTD), creating a one-stop centre for public services. The terminal’s launch marks a significant milestone in Malaysia’s efforts to strengthen East–West corridor connectivity and promote integrated, people-centric transport infrastructure.
