Prior to the construction of KL Eco City and the KTM Komuter station, pedestrians from the LRT station had to walk northwards along Jalan Bangsar to a pedestrian bridge and cross the railway tracks to the Putra Ria Apartment complex, then along the apartment access road and another pedestrian bridge into Mid Valley City. Alternatively, it was easier for commuters to use the Mid Valley Komuter station on the

The section between KL Eco City and Mid Valley City over the Klang River subsequently opened on 14 November 2019.
