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: Rust has a great hybrid approach!
gollark: I won't read what you say for a while, still scrolling down.
gollark: It's not simple because of no generics. It's more complex since they added bodges to work around not having them like the three standard library generic types.
gollark: The code you call simple is long and verbose. The waitgroup thing is a hack because go's got no generics for some sort of parallel map function.
gollark: Haskell is higher level. That means there's less noise to get in the way, unlike Go. Or at least would be, but insane Haskellers add more lots.
