[1] The halt was re-built during the double tracking and electrification of railway lines in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and Negeri Sembilan between 1990 and 1994 to primarily serve KTM Komuter services.

Since beginning operation with the launch of KTM Komuter in 1995, the halt has remained relatively unchanged in both its position in the railway system and station design.

Due to its location close to a major roadway (Jalan Kuching), the halt also features one unusually narrow platform.

Although not marked as an interchange on older transit maps, walking between the two stations is possible through an overhead pedestrian bridge across Jalan Kuching.

The former Putra Bus Terminal (closed on 1 December 2014), which served buses to Peninsular Malaysia's East Coast destinations, was 300 m away.
