Interchange Station
The Dang Wangi Station is located less than one kilometer west from the
Bukit Nanas Monorail Station,
also located beside Bukit Nanas. Despite the distance, official transit maps
designate both Stations as an interchange station between the Kelana Jaya
Line and the Kuala Lumpur Monorail.
Passengers need to tap out from one line when changing between the two
lines.
Accordingly, passengers who intend to switch to either lines must walk along
Jalan Ampang to reach either stations. Canopies along sidewalks were erected
between the stations. An overhead footbridge with escalators directly in
front of the Dang Wangi LRT Station, which crosses Jalan Ampang was also
constructed to provide convenience to the pedestrian.
Entrances and Exits
The Station has only one entry and exit point from street level, adjoining a
massive low-rise structure behind the vestibule.
