Marina Bay MRT Station

Marina Bay MRT Station (NS27/CE2/TS20) is an underground Mass Rapid Transit station on the North South Line, Circle Line and also the future Thomson Line in Singapore. The station is located on a reclaimed land with no developed infrastructure surrounding it, and hence contrary to what the name implies, there exists a slight distance between the actual town of Marina Bay and the station. This station now used for locals to travel from other parts of Singapore and connects passengers to a bus service that brings them to a nearby recreational area. In the future, this station will serve businessmen & office workers who work in the upcoming New Downtown, an extension of Singapore's central business district. This station will also serve residents who live in the New Downtown, and tourists and locals visiting the attractions that are located there.

The North South Line will be extended by 1 km to the new Marina South Pier. A further extension to the Marina Barrage was previously planned but it was shelved. However, the area will be served by the upcoming Thomson Line's Gardens by the Bay. Free shuttle bus service at the bus stop outside Exit A of the station are also available for passengers heading to the Marina Barrage.

The Circle Line platform is the first underground station here to have its platform above the concourse level.

Famous quotes containing the words bay and/or station:

    The seagull’s wings shall dip and pivot him,
    Shedding white rings of tumult, building high
    Over the chained bay waters Liberty—
    Then, with inviolate curve, forsake our eyes
    Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.
    Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
