Marina Bay MRT station, Underground railway station in Downtown Core, Singapore
Marina Bay MRT is an underground railway station featuring six platforms spread across four subterranean levels. The station serves three transit lines: the North South Line, the Circle Line, and the Thomson-East Coast Line.
The station was originally named Marina South and opened in 1989 as the southern terminus of the North South Line. It later expanded when the extension to Marina South Pier was added to the network.
The Art-in-Transit program displays works including the sculpture 'Flowers in Blossom II' at the mezzanine level and photographic exhibits showing everyday Singapore life. Travelers can view these pieces while passing through, connecting with local perspectives and creative expression.
The station operates daily from early morning until after midnight, with trains departing every few minutes during busy times. Clear signage and multiple exits guide passengers to different areas of Marina Bay.
During construction, engineers discovered an unexploded World War II bomb that required careful removal and detonation at a separate location. This finding reveals the hidden history lying beneath the modern city.
