Gardens by the Bay MRT station is a future underground Mass Rapid Transit station on the Thomson-East Coast Line in Marina South, Singapore. It will be the nearest MRT station to Gardens by the Bay Bay South and Marina Barrage.[2]
The station will serve as the southern terminus of the Thomson-East Coast Line from 2022 to 2024, where it would be replaced by Bayshore when the eastern (fourth) phase of the line opens.
Gardens by the Bay station is one of the three MRT stations in Singapore to have an official Malay name. The other stations are Botanic Gardens MRT station and Founders' Memorial MRT station.

On 15 August 2014, LTA announced that Gardens by the Bay station would be part of the proposed Thomson East-Coast line (TEL). The station will be constructed as part of Phase 3, consisting of 13 stations between Mount Pleasant and Gardens by the Bay, and is expected to be completed in 2022.[4][5]
