Taman Melati is an elevated rapid transit station in northern Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, forming part of the Kelana Jaya Line (formerly known as PUTRA). The station was opened on June 1, 1999, as part of the line's second segment encompassing 12 stations between Masjid Jamek station and Terminal PUTRA (not including Sri Rampai station) and an underground line.

Location

Taman Melati station is situated on the northern edge of Kuala Lumpur's city limits, a mere 400 metres from the nearest Kuala Lumpur-Selayang border, and was built along "Persiaran Pertahanan" (Malay; English: Defense Drive). In addition to serving its namesake location, "Taman Melati" (Melati Estate), to the east, the station is also accessible from other surrounding housing estates, including "Gombak Setia" (Loyal Gombak) to the west (in east Gombak), "Taman Setapak Jaya" (Setapak Jaya Estate) to the south (north of Setapak), and, to an extent, "Taman Cemerlang" (Excellence Estate) to the north. The accessibility is attributed to the station's location close to the borders between the areas.

Taman Melati station is the last station northwards to Terminal PUTRA, and is one of two Kelana Jaya Line stations serving the "Taman Melati" and "Taman Cemerlang" areas, the other being Terminal PUTRA.

Design

As an elevated station, Taman Melati station contains three levels: The access points at street level, and the ticket area and adjoining platforms on the two elevated levels. All levels are linked via stairways, escalators and elevators designated for disabled passengers. The station utilises a single island platform for trains travelling in both directions of the line, and is entirely sheltered by a gabled roof supported by latticed frames.
