In spite of its proximity to important industrial and commercial areas of Gush Dan as well as to residential areas of Tel Aviv, Bnei Brak is one of the less-popular stations of Israel Railways, possibly because of its misleading name and lack of awareness.

The station is located approximately 200 meters from the three-borders point between Bnei Brak, Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan, which is situated near the bridge of Mivtza Kadesh Street over the Yarkon River.

The station complex also includes a freight terminal and a large rail yard as well as now mostly-disused industrial sidings to warehouses and factories adjacent to the site.

The station is also a walking distance from Ramat HaHayal business and leisure zone in Tel Aviv.

A Dan bus terminal located near Ayalon Mall offers additional connections to Ramat Gan and Giv'atayim.
