Plaza Rakyat is an elevated rapid transit station situated in central Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The station serves a single line that forms part of a common Ampang Line (formerly known as STAR, and the Ampang and Sri Petaling Lines) route shared by both the Ampang-Sentul Timur line and Sri Petaling-Sentul Timur line.

The station was opened on December 16, 1996, as part of the first phase of the STAR system's opening, which also included 13 adjoining stations along the Sultan Ismail-Ampang route.

Design and connectivity with "Plaza Rakyat"

The station is named after and located at the rear of "Plaza Rakyat" (Malay to English: People's Plaza), a large mixed-use development project that was stalled during the economic crisis in 1997. Due to its proximity with "Plaza Rakyat" as it was opened, the concourse level of the Plaza Rakyat station was originally intended to directly link the south side of the complex.

With "Plaza Rakyat" incomplete, a 150 metre-long covered pedestrian bridge and walkway was provided to connect the station to the south of the nearby Puduraya bus station. Due to the suspension of the construction project, the pedestrian bridge continues to serve passengers entering and leaving the station.

The platforms of the station are linked via escalators to a single concourse area just below the rapid transit line, where tickets are purchased.

Styling

The station was constructed in a significantly different style from a standard Ampang Line station. Whereas a typical Ampang Line station consists of a dedicated structure of a similar style of white facades and roofs supported by latticework, the Plaza Rakyat station is embedded into the "Plaza Rakyat" project, with thick, untreated concrete pillars and ceilings, and exposed pipes. Curved sheets were added and pillars were painted to soften the rough appearance of the station's interior.
