Most people who use the station are travellers heading to or from the sea. Its two exits lead directly to the Marina South Pier Ferry Terminal and the Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore, which makes it the natural rail stop for ferry and cruise passengers. Because the surrounding area is still largely awaiting development, the station is usually quieter than those closer to the city centre. It is also intended to serve future developments in the planned Marina Bay Downtown area.
History of Marina South Pier MRT station
The North South Line originally ended at Marina Bay, and a short extension further south was first set out in the 2008 Land Transport Master Plan, with the new stop provisionally called “Marina Pier”. A few months before opening, on 15 August 2014, the then Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew used a visit to the station to announce that the planned Thomson and Eastern Region lines would be combined into a single line. The station welcomed its first passengers on 23 November 2014, a day after an opening ceremony.
Inside Marina South Pier MRT station
The station’s long, open concourse displays two pieces of public art. Past. Transition.

Singapore Tapestry by Delia Prvacki is a 31 metre mural of fired clay tiles made by 1,500 people, given by the Land Transport Authority to mark Singapore’s 50th anniversary. Since 15 January 2026 the station has also housed MirrorMoves, a 6 by 6 metre dance space chosen for its open layout and light foot traffic, so dancers can practise without getting in passengers’ way.
For visitors, Marina South Pier MRT station is mainly a gateway to the waterfront. Ferry passengers can walk straight through to the Marina South Pier Ferry Terminal, while cruise passengers can use the other exit for the Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore.
