While construction and funding has not yet been finalized for the METRORail University/Blue Line, transfers between it and the Red Line will occur here if and when the Blue Line is built.

Prior to the construction of the METRORail Purple Line, Wheeler Station was the only station in the system that had platforms that faced each other. UH South/University Oaks station became the second station to implement this platform configuration.
