History
The station has one of the lowest riderships along the North East Line, probably because it is on the wrong side of the Singapore River, and also partly due to the lack of developments surrounding the station and its proximity with Chinatown Station. Development of the areas surrounding Clarke Quay station, in particular the Central and Clarke Quay Festival Village, are expected to bring more passengers to use the station.
