Station layout

Jordan is laid out in a similar manner to many MTR stations. Passengers enter on the ground level and take escalators down to the concourse.

Platforms 1 and 2 are arranged in the simple island platform layout. Jordan was one of the first stations in the MTR system to incorporate platform screen doors.
