 Marina Bay MRT Station (NS27), Singapore
Marina Bay MRT Station (NS27) is an underground station of the Singapore MRT. It is located on reclaimed land. Presently, it is not within immediate proximity to any surrounding developments, as the Marina Bay neighbourhood is actually a distance away. Nonetheless, the Marina Bay MRT Station was sited for the future development of the area, which will form the New Downtown, an expansion to Singapore's existing Central Business District.
The Marina Bay MRT Station is served by the North South Line, between the Raffles Place MRT Station (NS26) and an unnamed station (NS28) under construction. In the near future, it will become an interchange when the Circle Line reaches it. As at time of writing (July 2010), the actual path of the Circle Line extension has not been fully finalized/publicized.
The Marine Bay MRT Station began operations on 4 November, 1989. It is the terminus station for the line. The station immediately before it is the Raffles Place MRT Station. An extension of the North South Line is presently under construction, and eventually, the new terminus station will be the subsequent one, the Marina Pier MRT Station.
