Economy

There are six unnamed commercial zones in SS2, with office and business shophouses lining their respective streets, with most connected directly to the main roads criss-crossing this inner city suburb.
The busiest of the six is the one next to the Jalan SS 2/55 street: a large "business district" area with over 20 separated blocks of shophouses. It is home to several banks, a 24-hour McDonalds outlet, the local police station, the daily morning market, a weekly Monday night market and two night-time hawker centres next to a small park.
The area has also seen several traders setting up durian stalls where customers can buy and eat the pungent fruits on the spot. A number of businesses have also set up in the double-storey houses surrounding this area, with many populated by bridal boutiques.
This zone is also home to a community composting centre called the Smart PJ Waste Solution Lab, located along Jalan SS2/63 and said to the first of its kind in the country. Its composters are able to handle two tons of food waste each day, with some 500kg of waste fed into the centre's digesters each day from nearby food courts and hawker areas.
The other five are located along the Jalan SS2/3, Jalan SS2/6, Jalan SS2/24, Jalan SS2/72 and Jalan SS2/103 streets with their own respective offices, shops and restaurants.

Transport

Roads in SS2 are some of the most heavily used in the city, with the district bordering the Damansara–Puchong Expressway which acts a link to Subang Jaya and Puchong to the west and Kuala Lumpur to the east.
A number of roads coming from adjacent sections such as SS1, SS4, Section 19 and Section 21 also lead Kuala Lumpur or Subang Jaya-bound motorists to the district on their way to the Damansara–Puchong Expressway.
The district is also home to the Taman Bahagia LRT Station, which sees thousands of Kelana Jaya Line commuters boarding the station along Jalan SS 2/3 every day.
Rapid KL buses linking this station to residential areas in and around Petaling Jaya pass through the area, along with other bus lines such as the free-to-use Petaling Jaya City Bus and MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line feeder buses from the Phileo Damansara MRT station make SS2 a popular and well-travelled transit location.
