In addition to connecting traffic between metro lines, this station also has a commercial and service system - construction investment cost is 6,865 billion VND.

Influence

The Ho Chi Minh City Urban Railway Project Management Board had to remove the Quach Thi Trang roundabout and Ben Thanh bus operating station to build Ben Thanh station.

According to the city's planning, after completing the Ben Thanh metro underground station in 2020, the Quach Thi Trang construction site will be rebuilt in its previous location and become a more modern square area.
