It is a transfer point for local buses to the Staten Island Mall, located two miles north of this station, as well as express buses to Manhattan. The station house at Richmond Avenue is at street level and once featured a signal lamp that alerted those waiting that a train was arriving. On the exterior of this station house is a plaque noting the Great Kills to Huguenot grade separation project was done under the auspices of the Public Works Administration.
