The Komtar station is a proposed railway terminal located in Komtar, at the intersection of Magazine Road, Carnavon Street, and Tek Soon Street in George Town, Penang. The station is projected to become a major terminal and interchange station of the Mutiara line, the Tanjong Tokong line, and the Ayer Itam line. It has connections towards the terminal of a proposed tram system in George Town, and the Komtar Bus Terminal, which serves as the primary public bus terminal serving Penang Island.
The station complex is planned next to the Sia Boey Urban Archaeological Park, as part of the fifth phase of development in Komtar. Once completed, it is expected to become the main rail station in George Town.[1] Besides this, the station is part of the western end of an elevated link across the Penang Strait towards the Penang Sentral station in Seberang Perai.[2] Construction is expected to start in September or October 2024, and will be completed by 2030, in line with the completion of the Mutiara line.[3]
