The station is an elevated rapid transit station in forming part of the Klang Valley Integrated Transit System. Although not designated as an official interchange, commuters may walk up to the  KD14  Klang Komuter Station on the Port Klang Line from Klang LRT line. It takes approximately 5 – 10 minutes walking time.

Initial Planning

The station was planned to be built near to the current KTM Klang Komuter Station at Klang South near to Jalan Tengku Kelana Klang, Little India. However, since the planned location was in a busy district, residents opposed the location mainly for historical importance since it required demolishing parts of pre-war shop lots and some other businesses in the narrow roads.[1] The location of the station was then changed to a new location in North Klang near to Jalan Pasar where the major business district in Klang is located.[2] The new location is next to Klang infamous Emporium Makan, which due to construction difficulties, necessitated the building to be demolished in order for the station to be built.[3] This has left Klang LRT and Klang KTM Komuter stations not being an interchange station, rather just a connecting station which is about 700 metres walking distance using Jambatan Musaeddin.
