History At the early stages of the project before the finalisation of station names, the MRT station was referred to by its working name PJU5 MRT Station. The switch to the name Kota Damansara caused some confusion as there was another station that had "Kota Damansara" as its working name, which was later given name .
Bus Services Feeder bus service With the opening of the Kajang Line, feeder buses also began operating linking the station with several housing and industrial areas in Kota Damansara. The feeder buses operate from the station's feeder bus stop adjacent to the station.
