The station is planned as a future interchange with the upcoming MRT Circle Line of the KVMRT project.
[1] Setiawangsa station is situated in Ampang and near the Kuala Lumpur city limits, north from the commercial core of the city along Jalan Jelatek, which borders the hilly areas of Semarak to the west and a housing estate officially known as AU1 (also known as Taman Keramat Permai) to the east.
The station thus serves the localities of AU1, Semarak and Taman Setiawangsa, as well as enclosed areas.
All levels are linked via stairways, escalators and elevators designated for disabled passengers.
The station utilises a single island platform for trains travelling in both directions of the line, and is entirely sheltered by a gabled roof supported by latticed frames.
