Bayfront MRT Station (CE1/DT16) is a cross-platform, underground interchange station located in the Downtown Core, connecting the Circle Line (CCL) and the Downtown Line (DTL).

Located underneath Bayfront Avenue, the station brings rail connections to the Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort comprising hotels, a casino, retail shops, a museum and an expo and convention centre. It also serves the nearby Marina Reservoir and Gardens By The Bay (Bay South).

The station is unique in being the only cross-platform interchange station served by separate rail operators; hence the station is jointly operated by SMRT Trains and SBS Transit. As part of the Circle Line Extension, the CCL station code is CE1 which differs from the regular CC prefix for CCL stations.

As reflected in the Future Network Map as of March 2020, the station code will change to CC34DT16 with the opening of Circle Line Stage 6.
