Gardens by the Bay MRT Station (TE22) is an underground station located along the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) 3. It is built just off Marina Gardens Drive, bringing rail connectivity to both Gardens by the Bay (Bay South), Marina Barrage, and future developments in the Marina South area.
The areas around the station are planned to be developed into a mixed-use, high-density commercial and residential district that provides more options for city living.
The station was originally targeted for completion and opening in Year 2021. However, it was delayed till 2022 as mentioned in the SMRT Operations Review 2020.
It will serve as the terminus of the Thomson-East Coast Line until Stage 4 of the line opens in Year 2024, when the line will be extended via Tanjong Rhu to Bayshore.
