It is the only underground station in the entire line. The station is named because of its location on [[Katipunan Avenue]], one of Quezon City's main thoroughfares. The avenue is in turn named after the [[Katipunan]] revolutionary society.
Katipunan station serves as the tenth station for trains headed to [[Antipolo station|Antipolo]] and the fourth station for trains headed to [[Recto station|Recto]].
This station should not be confused with the planned Katipunan station of the [[Metro Manila Subway Line 9]], to be built on [[Camp Aguinaldo]] property near the other end of [[Katipunan Avenue]], also in Quezon City.
The station was temporarily closed due to a fire which affected two [[rectifier]]s located between the Katipunan and Anonas stations on October 3, 2019.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Adonis |first1=Meg |title=Line 2 partial operations start today, Oct. 8 |url=https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1174650/lrt-2-partial-operations-start-today-oct-8 |access-date= October 8, 2019 |work=Philippine Daily Inquirer |date=October 8, 2019}}</ref> The station was reopened on January 22, 2021 after repairs to the rectifiers were completed.<ref name="reopening">{{cite news | last=Guzman | first=Jimmyley E. | title=LRT-2 reopens three stations | url=https://pia.gov.ph/news/articles/1064617 | publisher=[[Presidential Communications Group#Philippine Information Agency|Philippine Information Agency]] | date=January 22, 2021 | access-date=January 22, 2021}}</ref>
==Nearby landmarks== The station's south entrance is located beside the [[Philippine School of Business Administration]], while the north entrance is adjacent to St. Bridget School.
Because of its location near Katipunan Avenue, the station is also proximate to the [[Ateneo de Manila University]].
Commuters also get off at Katipunan station to ride a jeepney or tricycle to the [[University of the Philippines Diliman]] and [[Miriam College]], both of which lie on Katipunan Avenue.
==Transportation links== Buses, taxis, jeepneys and tricycles are used to navigate the Katipunan area. Commuters headed to the area's universities, such as [[Ateneo de Manila University|Ateneo de Manila]], [[Miriam College]], and [[University of the Philippines Diliman]], have to transfer to reach the campuses, since they lie some distance from the station.
A bus stop of the Quezon City Bus Service Route 3 can be found right outside the station's north entrance.
