The station's accessibility from Taman Nirvana to the north and Kampung Baru Ampang to the south further enhances its historical significance. It is linked to two roadways: one back road off Jalan Cahaya 7 from Taman Cahaya Indah, and another off Jalan Pandan Cahaya 1/2Ampang Jaya locality of Taman Cahaya, and is stationed in an area bordering the suburbs of Pandan Indah towards the south, and Taman Cahaya and Taman Cahaya Indah (Lovely Cahaya Estate) towards the north. The station is also accessible from Taman Nirvana (Nirvana Estate) to the north and Kampung Baru Ampang (Ampang New Village) to the south. The station is linked to two roadways: one back road off Jalan Cahaya 7 (Cahaya Road 7) from Taman Cahaya Indah, and another off Jalan Pandan Cahaya 1/2 (Pandan Cahaya Road 1/2) from Pandan Indah.

The Cahaya station was constructed along two levelled tracks, reusing the now-defunct Federated Malay States Railway and Malayan Railway route between Kuala Lumpur, Ampang town and Salak South. The station is also located a mere 470 metres away from the neighbouring Cempaka station, which serves roughly the same locality.
