In 2007, station was used daily (Mon-Fri) by 55,600 passengers, entering, exiting and transferring.

The mezzanine also includes a direct elevator link to the nearby Hilton hotel.

Around the northwestern exit are the cultural centre of Gasteig with concert halls, the Münchner Volkshochschule (adult education) and the central office of the Munich City Library (Münchner Stadtbibliothek).

Because of the proximity to the concert halls, special soundproofing measures were carried out on the tracks during the construction of the cultural centre.
