Location and locality
This station is located on Jalan Kerinchi, beside the eastbound carriageway (Klang-bound) of the Federal Highway with one exit facing the KL Gateway Mall and another facing an exit ramp into the Federal Highway from Jalan Kerinchi. A pedestrian bridge connects the station with the mall across Jalan Kerinchi.
This station serves the local population of University of Malaya and neighbouring Kampung Kerinchi, Bangsar South, Pantai Dalam and Pantai Hill Park.
Station naming rights program
The station was renamed to KL Gateway–Universiti after Suez Capital, a local property development was given naming rights by Prasarana Malaysia. KL Gateway is the major redevelopment of Kampung Kerinchi into premium residential, shopping mall & office tower.
It is the first three stations under pilot program of Station Naming Rights since launched in October 2015.[2] Nonetheless, the contract was presumed to be terminated in 2021 as all signs bearing the KL Gateway prefix were removed from the station. Likewise, announcement of the station name on trains do not include the prefix as of March 2022.[3]
