The Chan Sow Lin station was thus intended to serve patrons from the southern end of Pudu, the western end of Taman Maluri and the northwestern tip of Taman Miharja.
The latter two localities also have their own namesake stations towards the south and east: Miharja LRT station and Maluri LRT station.
The Chan Sow Lin interchange itself is named after an extended portion of Jalan Chan Sow Lin, a roadway that adjoins the main entrance of the station.
Two of the tracks are linked and are assigned to trains heading for either Sentul Timur LRT station to the north, or Ampang LRT station or Putra Heights LRT Interchange on the other end.
The Chan Sow Lin interchange reuses the now defunct Federated Malay States Railway and Malayan Railway (KTM) route between Kuala Lumpur, Ampang and Salak South.
Because of this, the station is located close to several former government compounds (Public Works and Engineering Works branches) that had once connect to the KTM line, up until the line was closed during the 1990s to make way for the LRT line.
A pedestrian access has been built to ensure paid-to-paid area transfer between the Chan Sow Lin LRT station and Chan Sow Lin MRT station.
Design
The principal styling of the LRT station is similar to most other stations along the Ampang Line and Sri Petaling Line, featuring multi-tiered roofs supported by latticed frames, and white plastered walls and pillars.
The platforms and tracks are at-grade, while the single ticket area is elevated at the same level as the footbridges crossing the tracks.
Platforms
The Platform design and designation in the Chan Sow Lin LRT station is considerably unique. The station contains two island platforms along three tracks.
Two of the tracks are linked and are assigned to trains heading for either Sentul Timur to the north, or Ampang or Putra Heights on the other end.

Labelled as Platforms 1 and 2, both platforms are further divided with “A” and “B” suffixes (thus reading “1A”, “1B”, “2A” and “2B”), with the “B” partitions sharing the single middle track, while the “A” partitions connect to the two outlying tracks.
Platform 1A and Platform 1B are currently not in service.
Platform 2A is assigned to trains heading towards Putra Heights or Ampang, while Platform 2B is assigned to the common route of the Ampang Line and Sri Petaling Line heading towards Sentul Timur.
Interchange
The Chan Sow Lin LRT station is specifically intended for passengers from stations exclusively on the Sri Petaling Line (Chan Sow Lin – Putra Heights) to interchange with stations exclusively on the Ampang Line (Chan Sow Lin – Ampang), or vice versa.
Interchanges in such manner typically involves disembarking a train at one side of the platform, waiting, and embarking on another train that arrives at the opposing side of the platform.
Alternatively, passengers can interchange between the two lines at any station between Chan Sow Lin and Sentul Timur as these stations are shared by both the Ampang Line and Sri Petaling Line.
The LRT station is designated as an interchange station with the MRT Putrajaya line, scheduled to open on 16 March 2023.
The MRT portion of the station is underground and was built beside the existing LRT station.
