Balintawak

Balintawak station once planned as an intermediate station of EDSA North Transit (ENT) Link Stage 1, a separate project that would have linked the MRT Line 3's terminus at North Avenue station with the LRT Line 1 and PNR North Main Line in Caloocan. During that time, no rail lines operated along the northern section of EDSA. However, the project never came into fruition when it was replaced by the LRT Line 1 North Extension Project, a 5.4-kilometer extension of LRT-1 to the North Avenue station as part of the MRT-LRT closing the loop project to integrate the operations of the LRT-1 and MRT-3. While Balintawak station became part of the new project, full integration did not materialize, though the opening of the North Triangle Common Station is expected to materialize this. Construction of the North Extension started in July 2008 and was completed in 2010. Balintawak station was opened on March 22, 2010. At that time, it was the temporary northern terminus of the line until the completion of Roosevelt station (now Fernando Poe Jr. station) in October 2010. It regained such status once again during the temporary closure of the station from September 2020 to December 2022 due to the construction of the North Triangle Common Station.

There are several city buses and jeepneys plying EDSA, as well as A. Bonifacio Avenue below the Balintawak Interchange. A UV Express terminal is also found at Ayala Malls Cloverleaf. The station serves as an interchange with the EDSA Carousel. The EDSA Carousel is accessible via the emergency exits of the station.

The station is served by bus route 39 at the nearby Ayala Malls Cloverleaf.

The station is close to Balintawak Market and adjacent to Puregold Balintawak. An access road to Ayala Land's Cloverleaf estate is built right beside the station. Accessing Ayala Malls Cloverleaf from the station requires riding the shuttle service stationed near the southbound entrance.

• On June 24, 2010, two trains (1000 and 1200 class) collided at Balintawak station. As a result, LRVs 1248 and 1247 sustained damage. There were plans to restore it, but the involved cars remain idle as of 2026.
• On September 26, 2018, a viral video confirmed a door malfunction on a 1000 class train at Balintawak Station. Due to a faulty mechanism, the doors failed to open normally, prompting a passenger to force them open to disembark. The doors then abruptly slammed shut on the succeeding passenger, who managed to safely force his way through. The LRMC later reminded commuters that 1000 class trains lack automatic door sensors and warned against forcing the doors open.
• On September 17, 2023 at 2:41 PM, a 13000 class train encountered a catenary fault issue at Balintawak station southbound, causing partial disruptions between Baclaran and Monumento stations. Full operations were restored the next day.
