Terminal Bersepadu Gombak

Terminal Bersepadu Gombak, also known as ITT Gombak, is a major long-distance bus terminal located in the Gombak District, Selangor, near the border with Kuala Lumpur. It is physically connected to the Gombak LRT station via a covered pedestrian walkway.
TBG is one of the three planned Integrated Transport Terminals in Greater Kuala Lumpur, part of the decentralisation strategy for public transport alongside Bandar Tasik Selatan ITT for the south and the planned Sungai Buloh ITT for the north. It serves as the principal hub for express buses heading to the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia.

History

The terminal was conceived to modernize express bus services and relieve congestion in the city centre. Originally, East Coast-bound buses operated from the Pekeliling Bus Terminal near the Titiwangsa station or TBS.

Construction and Delays

Construction of the terminal, initially named Terminal Bersepadu Timur, began near the Gombak LRT station with an original opening target of 2020. The project faced significant delays, most notably due to a structural collapse incident on 23 May 2019, which resulted in the deaths of five workers.

Opening

The project, which totaled a cost of RM307.4 million, eventually commenced operations in phases in March 2025:
  • 15 March 2025: Opened for bus arrivals.
  • 22 March 2025: Opened for bus departures.
The ceremonial official opening was officiated by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on 29 September 2025.

Location and facilities

The terminal is strategically sited next to the Kuala Lumpur Middle Ring Road 2 and the Kuala Lumpur–Karak Expressway, allowing East Coast buses to bypass the heavy traffic of Kuala Lumpur city centre.
Facilities include a Centralised Ticketing System to eliminate touting, 60 bus platforms, 150 taxi bays, and park-and-ride facilities.
