Tayuman station serves as the tenth station for LRT-1 trains headed for Baclaran, the thirteenth station for trains headed to North Avenue, and is one of the five LRT stations serving Santa Cruz District, the others being Blumentritt, Bambang, Doroteo Jose, and Carriedo.
Due to its proximity to Blumentritt station, which is north of Tayuman, the station is close to the old San Lazaro Hippodrome, where today's SM City San Lazaro sits and also considered a gateway to University of Santo Tomas. Tayuman street between Rizal Ave. and Felix Huertas serves as a Religious Articles Haven because there are many Religious Articles Shop like the SVD-Catholic Trade Manila Inc., Sto. Nino Religious Articles, etc..
Like its neighbor Blumentritt, commuters can take the many jeepneys or taxis to Tayuman station. Buses that ply the Taft Avenue route also stop near the station.
Because of its proximity to SM City San Lazaro, jeepneys and taxis can also take commuters to and from the station going to the mall.
