Location

The Kepong Komuter station was built to cater increasing traffic in a suburban area with the similar name called Kepong.^[3] The Kepong Sentral Komuter station, which also serves the same locality, is located 1 km away.^[4]

As there are no other train systems that operate here other than KTM Komuter's Tanjung Malim–Port Klang Line, this station can be packed at certain times. In 2013 a bigger car park was built to facilitate for the number of vehicles used by commuters but this faced some level of opposition from some residents living along Jalan 32 because the greenery had to be destroyed.^[5]

The main access roads to Kepong are Damansara–Puchong Expressway, Jalan Kuching, MRR II and Jalan Ipoh. RapidKL bus and Metro bus provides transport here.
