Location

Ampang Park MRT station is an underground mass rapid transit (MRT) station in Kuala Lumpur that is served by Rapid KL's MRT Putrajaya Line. The MRT station is named after and situated on the former site of the Ampang Park shopping centre as one of the three Putrajaya Line stations around the Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) subdistrict. It is also located opposite the Intermark Mall along the busy stretch of Jalan Ampang and Jalan Tun Razak.

Pedestrian walkway from the MRT station to the LRT station

This MRT station, despite sharing the same name, is not integrated and not to be confused with the separate Ampang Park LRT station, which is served by the LRT Kelana Jaya Line instead. Paid-zone integration was once proposed but not constructed at the moment due to cost-cutting measures. Passengers are required to tap out from one station, exit the station at ground level and walk along a covered walkway to the entrance of the other station to transfer between the lines. Thus, the stations are designated as connecting stations only on official transit maps.[2]

The escalators in the station is one of the longest among the underground stations on the Putrajaya Line

Paid-area interchange between the Kelana Jaya Line and the Putrajaya Line, both underground, was planned for the Ampang Park stations; the integration was scrapped in favour of an out-of-station interchange due to cost-cutting measures.[3] Passengers will have to tap out from one line, resurface to ground level, and enter the other underground station when changing between the two lines with a 7 minutes walking time between platforms. The proposed integration would have been the first underground station transfer between two separate lines and stations in the rapid transit system of Kuala Lumpur.

The MRT station's Entrance A faces Jalan Tun Razak, opposite the KL Trillion commercial development and the Jalan Tun Razak fire station.
