The station serves as a terminal and transfer point for several bus and jeepney routes serving the cities of Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas and Valenzuela. Major provincial bus companies also have their own terminals right outside the station like Victory Liner, Five Star Bus Company, Bataan Transit Co. and RJ Express.
There was a proposal to extend the Manila Metro Rail Transit System, or MRT-3, to Monumento, which would result in both stations being linked and Monumento terminal becoming a transfer point between LRT-1 and MRT-3. Currently, these plans have been shelved in favor of an extension of the Yellow Line towards North Avenue over the same routing as the previous MRT-3 proposal.
There is also a Philippine National Railways station nearby, but it is presently closed, pending reconstruction.

Famous quotes containing the word links:
“All nationalisms are at heart deeply concerned with names: with the most immaterial and original human invention. Those who dismiss names as a detail have never been displaced; but the peoples on the peripheries are always being displaced. That is why they insist upon their continuity—their links with their dead and the unborn.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
