During the Northrail–Southrail Linkage Project, the platforms were raised with renovation of the station area and formally reopened on July 14, 2009.

On September 8, 2017, the station was closed due to short platforms where four to five-car trains do not fit.

[citation needed] The station will be reconstructed and reopened as a major stop on the North–South Commuter Railway.

Buendia station is accessible by jeepneys and buses plying the Taft Avenue and South Luzon Expressway routes.

A terminal for San Antonio cycle rickshaws is located across the station on the other side of Gil Puyat Avenue, while Pio del Pilar cycle rickshaws also drop commuters off at the station.
