Marina Bay MRT Station (NS27/TE20/CE2) is an underground interchange station located in the Downtown Core planning subzone, built alongside Bayfront Avenue. The station connects the North South Line (NSL), the Circle Line (CCL) extension, as well as the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL). It joined Dhoby Ghaut and Outram Park stations as a three-line interchange station within the MRT network upon the opening of TEL Stage 3 on 13 Nov 2022.
Serving the Marina Bay area, named after the water body it surrounds, Marina Bay station serves limited nearby developments, but will be situated in the heart of the new Central Business District currently being built around it.
Currently the terminus of the Circle Line extension, Marina Bay will be an intermediate stop for the Circle Line once the Circle Line Stage 6 between Marina Bay and HarbourFront stations opens in 2026. In the meantime, both platforms are utilized for train turnarounds. As reflected in the Future Network Map as of March 2020, the station code will change again to NS27TE20CC33 with the opening of Circle Line Stage 6 on 12 July 2026.

The Circle Line platform uses a conventional island platform layout. Refer to the platform display screens for the destination and service information of upcoming trains, as Circle Line services may operate as loop services (from 12 Jul 2026) or terminate at selected stations.
During system integration testing for Circle Line Stage 6 (till 11 Jul 2026), only alighting is allowed at Platform D.
With the platforms at Basement 1 accessible only via the Ticket Concourse / Transfer Hall at Basement 2, Marina Bay CCL station is the first underground MRT station to have its platform level above the concourse level.
CCL platforms were renumbered from A & B to C & D respectively upon the opening of the TEL on 13 Nov 2022.

Concourse
NSL & TEL ticket concourses are located at Basement 1, while the CCL ticket concourse is located at Basement 2.
Although the Circle Line ticket concourse is at Basement 2, the Circle Line Passenger Service Centre is at Basement 1, next to Exit 2 faregates.
Paid Links
NSL – CCL Paid Link
The former Exit A was reconstructed to allow for a paid link between the NSL and CCL at Basement 1. Near the CCL concourse, the transfer linkway emerges at an atrium where a set of five escalators (3 in paid areas and 2 outside of paid areas) descend to the B2 Transfer Hall, where passengers can ascend to the CCL platforms. Additional faregates at the transfer hall leads to the unpaid link to the TEL Concourse. The CCL – TEL paid link is also located at this level.
TEL – NSL / CCL Paid Link
A transfer level at B3 of the TEL Station connects it with both the NSL & CCL. The NSL-TEL paid link also branches off to Exit 5 with a dedicated remote faregate line and lift lobby at both B1 and B2 level away from the main TEL ticket concourse.
Unpaid Link
The former Marina Bay Temporary Maintenance Facility was converted to an unpaid link from 1 November 2023 providing access to Exit 5, CCL Concourse via lifts / escalators at B2 level, as well as faregates to the paid link between CCL & NSL.
Civil Defence Shelter
Marina Bay North South Line station is a designated Civil Defence shelter.

Passenger Usage Patterns
An interchange station linking the North-South Line with the Circle Line extension, Marina Bay station encounters moderate numbers of transfer passengers between the two lines along with moderate demand from limited surrounding developments. Demand is expected to increase in the future when the new Central Business District develops in the surrounding area.
Between 1989 and 2014, Marina Bay Station was the southern terminus of the North South Line. When Marina South Pier station opened in 2014, it was no longer the line terminus, but a majority of NSL trains terminated there likely owing to low passenger traffic at Marina South Pier. This arrangement was lifted following the implementation of the new CBTC Signalling System in 2017.
Construction
Marina Bay NSL station and tunnels were built as part of Contract 310.
Circle Line Contract 901 for the construction and completion of Marina Bay CCL station was awarded to local company Hock Lian Seng Infrastructure Pte. Ltd. for S$348.4 million in Feb 2008. The scope also includes addition and alteration works to the existing North South Line (NSL) Marina Bay station, localised diversions of the East Coast Parkway and Marina Street as well as demolition of an expunged vehicular underpass.
The Circle Line station was designed by Aedas Architecture. As an integral part of Singapore’s Marina Bay development and an interchange station for two major metro lines, Marina Bay Station is located in a public park. The design aims to integrate the station into the park landscape through landscaping. The translucent ETFE canopy acts as a skylight to allow natural light penetrating deep into the underground hall. To further minimise the visual impact of the station to the surrounding park landscape, only the lift, entrance glazed enclosure, lightweight canopy and reflective pool are visible on street level, giving users full view of the park from the station entrance.
Contract T226 for the construction of Marina Bay station and its associated tunnels was awarded to Taisei Corporation at a contract sum of S$425 million.
The TEL 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.
Future Developments
Circle Line Stage 6 between HarbourFront and Marina Bay stations is scheduled for completion in 2026. A pedestrian mall network will link the station with adjacent buildings in the future.
Former Marina Bay Temporary Maintenance Facility (MBTMF)
Just beside the Circle Line station is the former Marina Bay Temporary Maintenance Facility (MBTMF) for Downtown Line trains. As Downtown Line Stage 1 (22 Dec 2013 to 26 Dec 2015) was disconnected from the main depot at Gali Batu, the Temporary Maintenance Facility was used to provide for low-level maintenance work for the Bombardier MOVIA C951 rolling stock prior to the opening of Downtown Line Stage 2. In the meantime, trains used the Circle Line’s Kim Chuan Depot for the launching of trains and major maintenance works.
MBTMF was built as part of the Circle Line Extension. Concealed from view behind a concrete partition wall, the facility can be seen from the scissors crossing just north of the station, with a single access track joining the northbound track.
Works to remove the disused tracks leading to the maintenance facility from the Circle Line took place in May 2021. The area was converted to an unpaid link between Exit 5 at the TEL Paid Link, the NSL & CCL ticket concourses, as well as Exit 2, which opened on 1 November 2023.
Former Train Service Arrangements
North South Line
Prior to regular southbound trains being scheduled to turnaround at Marina South Pier, platforms at Marina Bay were used both for train turnarounds and trains heading to/from Marina South Pier. Using a set of points north of the station, terminating trains arriving from Raffles Place arrive at either Platform A or B to before heading back towards Raffles Place and Jurong East. At the same time, passing-through-trains call at Platform B towards Marina South Pier, and at Platform A towards Jurong East.
