Bandar Tun Razak is a Malaysian at-grade rapid transit station situated near and named after the Kuala Lumpur township of Cheras. The station is part of the Sri Petaling-Sentul Timur branch of the Ampang Line (formerly known as STAR, and the Ampang and Sri Petaling Lines).
The station was opened on July 11, 1998, as part of the second phase of the STAR system's opening, including 7 new stations along the Chan Sow Lin-Sri Petaling route.
Design
[edit]The Bandar Tun Razak station was built on sloped terrain, designed with a single at-grade ticket area towards Bandar Tun Razak and a platform level below. The platform level consists of two side platforms along two tracks for trains traveling in opposite direction, while the ticket area's floorspace acts as a crossing between the tracks for access onto both platforms. Both levels are only linked via stairways and escalators, rendering the station unfriendly to accessible users.
The styling of the station is similar to most other stations in the line, featuring curved roofs supported by latticed frames, and white plastered walls and pillars.

Sultan Ismail
[edit]Sultan Ismail station is -only?- Ampang Line station serving the Chow Kit area
-- station is adjoined to and named after -- Road, a major roadway that spans Chow Kit to the west and the Golden Triangle to the southest, to the north; its immediate line towards Sentul Timur station crosses -- Road itself, while the station runs parellel to a backroad connecting -- Road, -- Road.
Like the Bandaraya station, SUltan Ismail station is intended to serve the predominatly commercial strip along -- Road and the -- River, as well as serving two nearby schools (-- and --). However, Sultan Ismail is further from -- Road, and lacks any connectivity with KTM railway line that runs parellel the the Ampang Line, a linkage which allows Bandaraya station to serve as an interchange with Bank Negara station, a KTM Komuter halt.
Bangsar
[edit]Location
[edit]The Bangsar station
The Bangsar station is also situated next to railway tracks belonging to Malayan Railway (KTM) between Kuala Lumpur Sentral, Mid valley station and Angkasapuri station. Nevertheless, none of the KTM stations are within a tolerable distance from the Bangsar station to be marked as interchanging stations.

The station was opened on June 1, 1999, as part of the line's second and latest extension, which includes the addition of 12 stations (not including Sri Rampai station) between Pasar Seni and Terminal PUTRA, and an underground line that the Ampang Park station is connected to. The Ampang Park station is currently one of only five underground stations in the Kelana Jaya Line.
Location
[edit]The Ampang Park station is located directly under Jalan Ampang (Malay; English: Ampang Road), just west from the Jalan Ampang-Jalan Tun Razak (Tun Razak Road) intersection. As such, the Ampang Park station is wedged between the Kuala Lumpur City Centre and Kampung Baru precincts of the city. The station is one of three Kelana Jaya Line stations laid out along Jalan Ampang.
The station is within walking distance of two 1970s and 1980s shopping centres. This includes the Ampang Park shopping centre, where the station takes its name from, located directly in front of the station, and the Plaza Ampang/City Square
closer and more prominent
The station has two exits, although they are not far apart; the station exits to both sides of Jalan Ampang, with the primary exit loacted on the southern side of the road, and the secondary exit on the northern side of the road, directly in front of the Ampang Park shopping centre.
