The year 1976 marked the establishment of Puduraya Terminal in Kuala Lumpur and on 22 September 2012, the Puduraya Terminal, which initially operated as a bus station, was transformed into an Urban Transformation Centre (UTC), making it something more than just a bus station. This study employs a qualitative approach by analysing sources of documents obtained from the National Archives of Malaysia, National Library, Kuala Lumpur Library and Tuanku Bainun Library, Sultan Iris Education University. Interviews were also conducted with individuals directly and indirectly associated with Puduraya Terminal.

The second objective discusses the role of Puduraya Terminal as the main transportation hub of Kuala Lumpur. This section covers the nostalgia connected to Puduraya as a bus station, its role as the main transportation terminal, Kuala Lumpur development projects and Urban Transformation Centre. The third objective analyses various issues raised by the establishment of Puduraya Terminal pertaining to the development of Kuala Lumpur.
