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.

Integration with the MRT Putrajaya Line

 

The platform 4 (Kwasa Damansara bound) of the TRX Station which serve the Putrajaya Line.

The Tun Razak Exchange station is designed as an interchange station with the MRT 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. As of 16 March 2023, platform 3 and 4 which serves the MRT Putrajaya Line is now open to the public.

In early planning, the interchange was originally going to be at Taman Connaught, but was moved to here during planning.

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.
