Design
The Cheras station is a low-rise structure with two side platforms lined along two tracks for trains traveling in opposite direction. However, unlike the many at-grade stations dotted along the Miharja-Ampang route, the Cheras station was sited on a set of tracks significantly lower than at-grade stations (similar to the Cahaya station), and only includes a single ticket area, as opposed to two for each platform, because a deep underground tunnel was built linking both platforms. The station also serves as a public crossing by pedestrians and motorcyclists across the Ampang Line tracks between the southeast and northwest via another underground path running beneath the tracks and platforms.
The principal styling of the station is similar to most other stations in the line, featuring curved roofs supported by latticed frames, and white plastered walls and pillars. Because the underground tunnel linking both platforms are connected only by stairways, the station is not accommodative to disabled users.

“Joe ... you remember I said you wouldn’t be cheated?... Nobody is really. Eventually all things work out. There’s a design in everything.”

“Humility is often only the putting on of a submissiveness by which men hope to bring other people to submit to them; it is a more calculated sort of pride, which debases itself with a design of being exalted; and though this vice transform itself into a thousand several shapes, yet the disguise is never more effectual nor more capable of deceiving the world than when concealed under a form of humility.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
