Station Features

Location

The Taman Connaught MRT station follows the standard design for elevated stations of the MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line with an elevated concourse level and a platform level above. The station is located above Jalan Cheras near the northern end of the Grand Saga Expressway Cheras–Kajang Expressway. The station is close to the Federal Territory-Selangor border.

The main landmark for the station is the Cheras Sentral Shopping Centre, once known as Phoenix Plaza. A link bridge connects the station with the shopping complex.

Exits and entrances

The station has three entrances - Entrance A and Entrance B on either side of Jalan Cheras, and Entrance C at Jalan 3/144A inside Taman Connaught. A link bridge also connects the station via the link bridges to Entrance A and Entrance C with the Cheras Sentral Shopping Mall.
