Baclaran is one of the four LRT-1 stations serving Pasay; the others are Gil Puyat, Libertad, and EDSA.

The terminal is near one of the country's most famous landmarks, the National Shrine of Our Mother of Perpetual Help, widely known as the Baclaran Church.

It is also near numerous dry goods and flea markets (tiangges), selling everything from clothes and electronics to home decorations and traditional medicine.

Buses coming from the terminal usually head to points south of Manila and the province of Cavite.

Cycle rickshaws or pedicabs and tricycles can also be used to navigate the interior streets of Baclaran and Santo Niño in Pasay from the station.
