Layout
The station consists of one island platform serving a single track. The opposite side of the platform is used for BRT operations, to permit the straight transfer of passengers from the train to the bus. Prior to the opening of the BRT, large-scale renovation work was carried out around the current platform and the area of the old station, and as a result the two-story reinforced concrete station building located far from the current platform. The station is unattended.[2]
