Terminal Bersepadu Selatan, or TBS, as it is colloquially called, is the central bus station of Kuala Lumpur. TBS is located just adjacent to the major train station, BTS (Bandar Tasik Selatan), and is an extended part of BTS. Together they both make the Integrated Transport Terminal (ITT) or a transport hub. TBS is the only operational ITT out of the three ITTs of Kuala Lumpur.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

History of Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS)<\/b><\/h2>\n

A few years back, the Pudu Sentral Terminal (Puduraya), a previous bus terminal of Kuala Lumpur, was facing heavy congestion. To overcome this congestion of traffic and to smoothen out the transport or traffic load, TBS was planned and built. In the initial planning, TBS was to serve the southbound buses and take over the Kuala Lumpur outbound buses slowly, ensuring Pudu Sentral Terminal is a city bus terminal. The long-term plan for TBS was to take charge of almost the express buses from Udu Sentral, Hentian Putra, and Pekeliling bus station. This way, TBS would have all the southbound and East-coast bound express buses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Terminal Bersepadu Selatan<\/a> was operational from January 2011 with it taking over from Pudu Sentral\u2019s all southbound long-distance buses. From December 2014, all East-coast bound buses shifting to TBS with Hentian Putra ceasing its operations. By November 2015, TBS had services of 545 out of 635 northbound buses from Pudu Sentral. This completed the replacement of Pudu Sentral by TBS and TBS, becoming the main express bus terminal of Kuala Lumpur. Currently, TBS is integrated with BTS forming the TBS-BTS transport hub and is the leading express bus terminal of Kuala Lumpur.<\/span><\/p>\n
