Expansion

In 2019, the station underwent expansion works to widen its capacity, from Шаблон:Convert to Шаблон:Convert as the station caters more than 52,000 passengers daily. It began on June 26.[1] Initially expected to be finished in 2022, the upgrade was finished earlier than expected in anticipation for the Cavite Extension Project on October 21, 2019.[2] The project consists of the expansion of the structure through the third floor of the adjacent Liana's Supermarket & Department Store and constructing a bridge to connect nearby areas.

The expansion also features a new roofing system, a widened floor area by dismantling the old ticket booths, an increased floor-to-ceiling height in other areas of the station, and the construction of a new fire exit for the southeast leg of the station. The expansion also features new comfort rooms, a Person With Disability (PWD) ramp, LED lighting setups, interior paint jobs, and floor finishes.[2]
