Jambatan Kota LRT station, formerly Pasar Jawa LRT station is an elevated light rapid transit (LRT) station and serves as one of the stations for the Shah Alam line.[1] The station is located in the city of Klang, Selangor one of the world's major international port cities and the global transshipment hub of Malaysia. The station is surrounded by most of the major landmarks in the area, which are the business and commercial districts of north Klang as compared to south Klang, which is mostly government departments. This station mainly serves urban localities that use the Federal Highway, Jalan Meru, Jalan Kapar, and Jalan Langat, which are the four major roads servicing the area.
The area surrounding the LRT station draws tourist attention because it serves as the historic heart of Klang, anchored by the Kota Bridge (after which the station is named), Malaysia’s first double-decker bridge.[2][3] Visitors are attracted to its unique architecture and the upper deck, which offers scenic river views and a vibrant space for photography and community events. The station sits adjacent to the modern Klang Royal City Council building and the historic Kota Raja Mahadi Fort, overlooking the scenic Klang River view and the lush Pangkalan Batu Urban Park. The port was the first port built in ancient and medieval Klang.[clarification needed] [citation needed] The station is located near various shopping destinations such as the Pasar Jawa Traditional Market and Shaw Centre Point, and is within walking distance to other attractions in south Klang, such as Little India, the Sultan Abdul Aziz Royal Gallery, the Sultan Sulaiman Mosque and the Royal Klang Heritage walk.[2][citation needed]
The station is an elevated rapid transit station forming part of the Klang Valley Integrated Transit System. Although not designated as an official interchange, commuters may walk up to the Klang Komuter station on the Tanjung Malim–Port Klang Line from the LRT station, taking approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
History & Initial Planning
[edit]This is the twentieth station along the line, with the line's maintenance depot located in Johan Setia, Klang. It has facilities such as kiosks, restrooms, elevators, taxi stands, and feeder buses.[4]
The station was initially planned to be built near to and to be an interchange with the current Klang Komuter station at south Klang near to Jalan Tengku Kelana, Little India. The LRT station was initially also called Klang LRT station. However, since the planned location was in a busy district, residents opposed the location mainly for historical importance since it required demolishing parts of pre-war shoplots and some other businesses along the narrow roads.[5] The location of the station was then changed to a new location in north Klang near to Jalan Pasar where the major business district in Klang is located.[6] The new location is next to Klang infamous Emporium Makan, which due to construction difficulties, necessitated the building to be demolished in order for the station to be built.[7] The LRT station at the new location was initially given the name Pasar Jawa, and no longer designated as an interchange or connection with the Komuter station.[8] The stations however, are within 700 metres walking distance via Jambatan Musaeddin. In June 2026, the station was renamed to Jambatan Kota.[1]
