The station is the eighth station for trains headed to Antipolo and the sixth station for trains headed to Recto.
The station layout is composed of three platforms: The two main platforms serve the entire system (Eastbound and Westbound) and an extra platform serves as a terminus. The extra platform, currently unused, is found under the main platforms where the concourse area can also be found.
It first commenced operations on April 5, 2003. It served as the initial western terminus of the line until Legarda station and five intermediate stations opened on April 5, 2004.[2][3]
