Platforms

East-West Line (L2):

Platform A: East West Line towards EW1 Pasir Ris via EW24NS1 Jurong East (→) Platform B: East West Line towards EW33 Tuas Link via EW26 Lakeside (←)

Chinese Garden station has two elevated East-West Line platforms in an island platform arrangement. Half-height Platform screen doors are installed at the platform edge for the safety of commuters, and High Volume, Low Speed (HVLS) fans keep passengers cool. Similar in design to Lakeside station, the station’s straight inclined roof with structural beams on the inside is influenced by Chinese architecture, and supported by two rows of columns.

Passenger Information Systems, which are plasma display screens located at each platform, display expected train arrival times and key messages. Tactile flooring helps to guide the visually-handicapped from the platform to station exits. Escalators, lifts and stairs connect the Platform level to the Ticket Concourse level below.

Concourse

The station has a ticket concourse located at ground level. It features faregates for automatic fare collection and provides access between paid and unpaid areas of the station, with at least least one bidirectional wide-swinging gate for the benefit of passengers-in-wheelchairs and those carrying bulky items or travelling with prams.

General Ticketing Machines allow commuters to purchase tickets for single or multiple journeys, and along with TransitLink Add Value Machines, offer contactless card transactions. The station office functions as a Passenger Service Centre, and is staffed during operating hours, where commuters may make travel inquiries.
