The Labu Komuter station has no proper tar road to this station, and its road has been broken without repairs for the past few years.

Economy

The township used to be remain underdeveloped, resulting in migration to nearby settlements due to poor opportunities, due to neglect from the town's YB man. Most locals work in the government sector, and some others work in agriculture and farming livestock. However, the Labu town now been developed under new assemblyman, YB Datuk Hasim B. Rusdi. Part of the Malaysia Vision Valley corridor, Labu has experienced an urbanisation boom as nearby new townships like Bandar Sri Sendayan, Bandar Ainsdale and Bandar Enstek are currently being developed. There were two megaprojects being proposed in Labu, such as the KLIA East, a low-cost carrier terminal set to replace the original LCCT (now replaced with KLIA2 within the main airport's vicinity), and the Seremban station of the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore high-speed rail (scrapped as of now, pending possible revival).
