Stairways at each corner of the concourse mezzanine connect with the platform level. The mezzanine is accessed from ground level via four entrances, two on each side of the Alameda Avenue. Each pair of entrances converge into a single corridor that leads to the mezzanine.

The station features an exposed concrete beam ceiling and its walls are decorated with blue-gray ceramic tiles, which replaced the original mosaic covering. Curved blue panels over the platforms form a sort of large cove molding.

This station has a moderate flow of passengers, increasing in the peak hours by the crowds commuting with Transantiago buses here.

Etymology

The name of the station, comes from the Las Rejas avenue, coming from the old Las Rejas farm.

gollark: osmarkscalculator™ would of course be designed for modern™ systems' IO capabilities, and incorporate features™.
gollark: I have some random calculator app on my phone is fairly good and can do basic symbolic calculus, graphing, complex number operations, and probably other things, but not matrices.
gollark: My current calculator can do matrices and complex numbers, but the complex number support is bad (no complex exponentiation, *really*?) and matrices are not well integrated.
gollark: What if osmarkscalculator™?
