The railway station, as per officials, is designed to serve 1 lakh railway passengers per day.

It also has passenger-friendly features like Braille signage, ramps to access the subway, and lifts and escalators, in addition to lifts and escalators.

Due to road connectivity issues, the station has yet to open to the general public. A raised rotary flyover to the terminal has been proposed by the city council.

Chief Commissioner Gaurav Gupta of the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) presented the plan to the railway minister.
