Location

HarbourFront MRT Station (NE1/CC29) is an underground Mass Rapid Transit interchange and terminal station of the North East Line and the Circle Line in Bukit Merah planning area, Singapore. It is located next to the VivoCity and HarbourFront Centre, previously known as the Singapore World Trade Centre. It serves as a terminal station of the North East Line and the Circle Line. This station is one of the most convenient for transferring passengers as they do not have to walk long distances to interchange between lines.

HarbourFront station serves the vicinity of HarbourFront, located at the southernmost point of mainland Bukit Merah. The station itself is located in close proximity to HarbourFront Centre and VivoCity. Buses to and from Sentosa originate from the HarbourFront Bus Interchange, located near the station. When the Sentosa Express monorail line to Sentosa began service on 15 January 2007 as a virtual interchange, Sentosa became more effectively linked with most of the towns of Singapore. The station also provides public transport to the prominent tourist destination of Mount Faber.

World Trade Centre station was constructed since 20 June 1997 and needed a road realignment along Telok Blangah Road, to allow the construction of the station. Later on, after 9/11 terrorist attacks, World Trade Centre exhibition halls were demolished and the station did a last-minute renaming in January 2002 to HarbourFront. HarbourFront station opened on 20 June 2003 with the rest of the North East Line. After VivoCity opened, weekend passenger traffic doubled to more than 60,000 passengers each day, surpassing Dhoby Ghaut, formerly the busiest station on the North East Line. Due to the sudden jump in passenger traffic, the number of faregates facing the linkway to VivoCity had to be increased from seven to nine. The Circle Line section of the station began revenue service on 8 October 2011, replacing Marymount as a terminal station for the Circle Line, thus making Habourfront station the first double-line terminus station in Singapore.
