The main bus terminal serving the city is Pandit Nehru Bus Station (PNBS), Vijayawada, situated about 2–4 km from the mosque, with frequent APSRTC and interstate bus services.

Muhammadiya Masjid is a neighborhood mosque located within the 520010 postal area of Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, a central part of the city that includes localities such as Labbipet, MG Road, Benz Circle, Punammathota, and Devi Nagar. This part of Vijayawada saw significant urban growth in the latter half of the 20th century as residential neighborhoods expanded alongside commercial corridors and main city arteries. Within this context, Muhammadiya Masjid was established by members of the local Muslim community to provide a dedicated place of worship and communal gathering. Over time it has served as a center for daily prayers (ṣalāh), the weekly Friday (Jumuʿah) congregational prayer, and major Islamic observances such as Ramadan (including Taraweeh) and Eid-ul-Fitr/Eid-ul-Adha gatherings. In addition to formal worship, the mosque supports Qur’anic recitation, informal religious instruction (taʿlīm), and community interaction, helping strengthen neighborhood spiritual life within this densely populated urban setting.
