The station is served by FLP trains on line S60 of the Ticino rapid transit network, which operate every 15 minutes between Lugano and Ponte Tresa, with trains every 30 minutes at weekends and evenings.[3]

Autopostale buses connect the station to Luino, Monteggio and Novaggio. In summer the Società Navigazione del Lago di Lugano (SNL) operates a boat service to and from Lugano from a landing stage five minutes walk from the station.[4]

The station has two platform tracks, plus two additional sidings, under a concrete roof with car parking above.
