It is one of the stations being built as part of the Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit (KVMRT) project on the MRT Putrajaya Line.[3] The station is located on Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah as well as being named after the Batu Cantonment Army Camp, or Kem Batu Kentonmen in Malay.
Station details
Station design
The station's design is unique among other stations on the Putrajaya Line as it consists one of an elevated platform level with 2 separate ticketing concourses and faregates for each of its side platforms. Each concourse is connected to either one of the station's entrances. The station was built as such due to the lack of space in the area to build a station with island platforms. The platforms, however, are linked via a walkway and bridge crossing over the railway tracks and are connected to the platforms via lifts, escalators and stairways.
Location
The station is strategically located near landmarks such as Bamboo Hills and the Cantonment Exchange Complex.[4]

The station is a 800m walking distance to the Bamboo Hills commercial area from Entrance B, which takes about 13 minutes. However, there is no dedicated pedestrian walkway, and passengers are required to cross the busy Duta–Ulu Klang Expressway (DUKE).[5]
Connection with KTM Komuter

The station is within walking distance to, but not integrated with the Batu Kentonmen Komuter station station on KTM Komuter's Batu Caves–Pulau Sebang Line.[6]

In the future, a link bridge to the Bamboo Hills development will be built along with the construction of Bamboo Hills Residences. The bridge will connect with the concourse level where Entrance B is located.
