The holding area helps regulate passenger movement and prevents excessive crowding, the division said.
As a result, passengers can buy their tickets in an orderly manner and board their trains and proceed to their destinations without hassle, it said in a second post.
The posts did not say how many people the holding area can accommodate or where it is located in the station.
