Paya Lebar MRT Station (EW8/CC9) is a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) interchange station on the East West Line and the Circle Line in Geylang Singapore. It is the first MRT station in Singapore that serves as an interchange of both an elevated line (East West Line) and an underground line (Circle Line).
Despite its name, the station is not physically located in Paya Lebar. The name is derived from the nearby Paya Lebar Road instead.
Paya Lebar MRT Station opened on 4 November 1989, serving the East West Line. On 17 April 2010, the Circle Line platforms opened, shortening the travelling time from the station to Bishan where commuters can transfer to the North South Line, to 13 minutes.
The name of the station is misleading as Paya Lebar MRT Station is not located within the vicinity of Paya Lebar. Instead, the station actually serves Geylang East, a neighbourhood of Geylang. Also located close to the station is the headquarters of Singapore Post.
As with most of the above-ground stations along the East West Line, the station was built without platform screen doors. Installation of half-height platform screen doors which prevent commuters from falling onto the train tracks started on 28 October 2010 and commenced operations on 11 January 2011 with Bedok.
The Circle Line side of this station has been equipped with full-height platform screen doors since the operations started on 17 April 2010. It is the first ever underground MRT station with double-island platforms.
The station was installed with Rite Hite Revolution High Volume, Low Speed (HVLS) fans, which have been in operation since 14 July 2012 together with Kembangan.
