Marina South MRT Station

Marina South MRT station is an underground station on the Thomson-East Coast Line, with the station code TE21, but it has not opened to passengers yet. It lies in the Straits View and Marina South area at the southern edge of the city, a short distance from Marina South Pier. The station structure has been completed, but trains on the line currently run straight through without stopping, so it cannot yet be used to board or leave a train.

Opening date, operator and ridership figures are LTA data as recorded on Wikipedia.

The opening has been held back until the land around the station is further developed. When it does open, it will give the Marina South district its own stop on the Thomson-East Coast Line and connect the area near the pier with the rest of the rail network. Until then, anyone heading to this part of Marina South will need to use another station and continue on foot or by other transport. The station’s status may change, so check the facts table and line map below before planning a journey.

History of Marina South MRT station

The station was first announced in August 2012 as one of the stops on the planned Thomson Line, which was later combined with the Eastern Region Line to form the Thomson-East Coast Line. It was built as part of the line’s third stage, which covers the stretch from Mount Pleasant to Gardens by the Bay. The original plan was to open it with the other stations in that stage, but in November 2021 it was announced that Marina South MRT station would wait until its surroundings were further built up. When the third stage began service on 13 November 2022, trains started passing through the station without stopping.

Once it opens, Marina South MRT station should be a practical starting point for several attractions in the Marina South area. The closest is the Singapore Maritime Gallery, a museum about 400 m away, or roughly a 7 minute walk. Supertree Grove and the OCBC Skyway are both around 14 minutes away on foot, and the Red Dot Design Museum is about 980 m away, roughly a 16 minute walk. These distances are measured in a straight line, so actual walking routes may be a little longer. The full list of places nearby appears further down this page.
