The Ben Thanh Station is a fully integrated public transport interchange linking 4 lines of MRT, which are line 1, 2, 3a and 4 and an underground bus station. The 4 lines link at different levels from B2 to B4. The Station comprises a concourse level at B1 above the platform levels B2 to B4 and this provides for underground pedestrian access into the concourse and various junctions of main roads and streets above. The concourse level includes an approximately 600m long Underground Shopping Mall (UMS) which will serve pedestrian traffic entering and exiting the concourse.
