The station is situated 1 km (5⁄8 mi) south of Kajang's town centre.

Interchange between KTM and MRT is not possible, passengers are required to purchase separate tickets to enter the other station.

Intercity services were provided for the town from its early years through the 20th century, while KTM Komuter services were introduced in the mid-1990s, when a new station adjoining Jalan Bukit (Malay; English: Hill Road) was completed on the east side of the tracks to replace the older station adjoining Jalan Reko (Reko Road) on the west side of the tracks.

Active construction started around August 2012; it was completed and opened to the public on 17 July 2017, along with other Phase 2 stations on the line.

When the overhead platform for KTM commuter is finished, the KTM ticket counter, customer service and office are moved to the Level 1 of the station beside the MRT customer service counter.

For KL bound, passengers have to cross along Jalan Reko to access to the station.
