The Tun Razak Exchange station is designed as an interchange station with the MRT Putrajaya Line, making it the second interchange between the two lines, the other being Kwasa Damansara. As a result, the Tun Razak Exchange has a stacked island platform configuration, to enable cross-platform transfers between the MRT lines.

History

The area in which the station is located was previously occupied by quarters allocated to Government employees. The quarters were demolished and at the spot where the station is located currently, an arts and craft market was established, with the name "Pasar Rakyat" or "People's Market". Because of this, the working name for the Tun Razak Exchange Station was the Pasar Rakyat Station.
