Station Features

Station location

The station adopts the standard elevated station design of the MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line with two levels. However, unlike most of the elevated stations, the station has an island platform with two sides above the concourse level.

The station is located north of the Sprint Expressway near the Phileo Damansara Interchange. This places the station in the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, with one entrance crossing the border into Selangor. The location was formerly occupied by a Shell petrol station and a second hand car dealer.

Exits and entrances

It is connected to the station by a pedestrian link bridge over the Sprint Highway. Entrance B is on the north side of the Sprint Highway (same side as the station).

The feeder buses operate from the station's feeder bus stop at entrance A located across the Sprint Highway from station.
