Platforms
Garibaldi is a standard configuration station. It has two platforms separated by the metro tracks and the vault is elliptical. The decoration is of the style used for the majority of metro stations. The lighting canopies are white and rounded in the Gaudin style of the metro revival of the 2000s, and the bevelled white ceramic tiles cover the walls, the vault, the tunnel exits and the outlets of the corridors. The advertising frames, in copper-coloured earthenware, are topped with the letter M (a variant found only in 7 other stations in the network) and the name of the station is also in earthenware in the style of the original CMP. The Motte style seats are yellow in colour.
Bus connections
The station is served by lines 137, 237 and the urban service L'Audonienne of the RATP Bus Network and, at night, by lines N14 and N44 of the Noctilien network.
The station had a connection with the Saint-Ouen-les-Docks line, at the Gare de Saint-Ouen-Garibaldi, until the latter closed in 1988.
