The temporary TRA station is a three-level aboveground station connected by elevated walkways between train platforms. It is divided into front and back stations. At ground level, there are four island platforms and twelve tracks (previously thirteen tracks). Eight of the tracks are aligned with platforms.

Numbering starts on the left (south side).
The Kaohsiung MRT station is a two-level, underground station with one exit.[3] It is located at Jianguo 2nd Road.
The entire station is currently undergoing construction as part of a project to move all rail lines through Kaohsiung underground. Thus, although function, many areas are not operating at full capacity. For example, although all other stations on the Red Line have platforms that can accommodate six-car configurations, Kaohsiung Main Station's platform only allows for three-car lengths. Construction is expected to be completed after 2010.
