Connected Linkway Between Muzium Negara MRT station and KL Sentral Transportation Hub
At 24m deep, this Muzium Negara MRT station is connected to KL Sentral via an underpass that crosses Jalan Damansara, before re-emerging on the other side in the form of an overhead bridge to KL Sentral.
A 240 meters linkway, consists of underground & elevated sections, will directly connect the Muzium Negara MRT Station to KL Sentral Station.
Though designated an interchange, Muzium Negara MRT station does not enjoy paid zone-to-paid zone integration with KL Sentral itself, which serves the Kelana Jaya line LRT, KTM Komuter, KL Monorail, KLIA Transit, and KLIA Ekspres.
This is due to Muzium Negara station being located outside the borders of the KL Sentral development project, as well as the different rail operators in KL Sentral (and hence different ticketing systems).
From Muzium Negara MRT station, the pedestrian link begins after the fare gates at entrance C where there are three flights of escalators which bring pedestrians to an elevated walkway above Jalan Stesen Sentral 5.
The walkway is connected to various buildings such as Q Sentral, Menara CIMB, Le Meredian and Platinum Sentral.
The walkway leads the commuters to KL Sentral station, where an escalator brings users to the KLIA Ekspres arrival hall.
