==Station features== [[File:Kwasa Sentral MRT Station (KG05) Exterior View from Track (220724) 2.jpg|thumb|View of station from an approaching train]] [[File:Kwasa Sentral MRT Station (KG05) Concourse Level (220724) 5.jpg|thumb|Station concourse]] [[File:Kwasa Sentral MRT Station (KG05) Concourse Level (220724) 1.jpg|thumb|Paid zone of station concourse]]

The MRT station is an elevated station with the same standard elevated station design adopted by other stations on the Kajang Line. Attached to the station is a major feeder bus terminal and an at-grade [[park and ride]] facility.

===Station location=== [[File:Kwasa Sentral Station Drone View 01 (cropped).png|thumb|Aerial view of Kwasa Sentral station and its surroundings]]

The station is located within the future Kwasa Damansara development. It is one of two stations – the other being {{mrts|Kwasa Damansara}} – which were built to serve the development. Currently, other than the station and its park and ride facility, there are no other buildings in the station's vicinity.

As the station is located off Jalan Sungai Buloh, access to the station is provided via a newly constructed road leading from the Jalan Sungai Buloh-Persiaran Sungai Buloh intersection.

===Exits and entrances=== The station is designed with two entrances - Entrance A and Entrance B - but currently, only Entrance A is in use, leading to the feeder bus stop, taxi lay-by, drop-off area and the park and ride facility. Entrance B is currently closed and will be opened when the area on the east side of the station is developed.

==History== During the early stages of construction before the finalisation of station names, Kwasa Sentral station was known by the working name ''Taman Industri Sungai Buloh''.<ref>{{cite news|title=Naim installs mrt link bridge, records another milestone|url=http://www.theborneopost.com/2015/09/07/naim-installs-mrt-link-bridge-records-another-milestone/|access-date=2017-11-13|publisher=Theborneopost.com|date=2015-09-07|language=en}}</ref>

==Feeder bus services== With the opening of the Kajang Line, feeder buses also began operating, linking the station with several housing areas in [[Kota Damansara]] and [[Subang, Selangor|Subang]] (Sections U3 and U5, [[Shah Alam]]). The feeder buses operate from the station's feeder bus hub adjacent to the station.
