Kampung Baru LRT station
Kampung Baru LRT station, or Kampung Baru-Co-opbank Pertama station due to sponsorship reasons is an underground rapid transit station, named after and serving Kampung Baru, Kuala Lumpur, in Malaysia. The station is part of the Kelana Jaya Line. The station was opened on 1 June 1999, as part of the line's second and latest extension, which includes the addition of 12 stations, and an underground line that the Kampung Baru station is connected to. The Kampung Baru station is currently one of only five underground stations in the Kelana Jaya Line.
Location
Located on the southern edge of Kampung Baru, the Kampung Baru station is located directly beside the Ampang–Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway and Klang River. The adjoining KLCC station, as is the Kuala Lumpur City Centre itself, is situated across the Klang River, 700 metres away, and 130 metres away from the famous Saloma Bridge that connects Kampung Baru residents to KLCC. The station is primarily intended to serve the Kampung Baru area.
Layout and design
The Kampung Baru station, like all other underground Kelana Jaya Line stations, is of a simplistic construction consisting of only three levels: the entrance level at street level, and the concourse and platform levels underground. All levels are linked via escalators and stairways, while elevators are additionally provided between the concourse level and the platform level. The station contains only one island platform for two tracks of opposite directions, with floor-to-ceiling platform screen doors sealing the platform from the tracks.
Kampung Baru station has a total of 2 entrances/exits to/from the street level - Entrance A at Jalan Sungai Baru and Entrance B at Lorong Raja Muda Musa 1. Entrance A is larger and the primary entrance, equipped with a lift, escalators, ramps for wheelchair-using passengers and a mynews.com convenience store. Until 2025, Entrance A was the only access point into the station. Entrance B located just 40 m east from the main entrance and located beside the Saloma Link, which was previously closed to the public until it was opened in 2025, is smaller and has only escalators and stairs.
