5°7′43″N 100°29′12″E / 5.12861°N 100.48667°E / 5.12861; 100.48667

Location and locality

The station is located at the heart of the town of Parit Buntar, a town in Perak which borders Bandar Baharu in Kedah and Nibong Tebal in Penang. Other nearby towns are Tanjung Piandang and Bagan Serai.

The station is served by both KTM ETS services and the KTM Komuter Northern Sector's Ipoh-Butterworth Line.

While Nibong Tebal and Bagan Serai both have their own railway stations with regular ETS Gold and Komuter services, Parit Buntar is served by the additional ETS Platinum service which sees more inter-city trains stop at the station. Therefore, the station is a preferred choice for residents of the nearby towns especially students of Universiti Sains Malaysia's (USM) engineering campus and the MRSM Transkrian campus.
