Promenade MRT Station is an underground Mass Rapid Transit station in Singapore, located along Temasek Avenue, near the Millenia Walk shopping mall. It is the fourth station along the counter-clockwise-bound Circle Line track. The station was opened on 17 April 2010 along with the rest of Stage 1 & 2 of the Circle Line. On 14 January 2012, Circle Line Extension was opened and this station became an interchange for the extension. On 22 December 2013, this station became an interchange with the Downtown Line.
The Circle Line forks into two branches at this station – one branches across the Marina Reservoir towards the Marina South area to Marina Bay and Bayfront with an under construction extension towards HarbourFront. The other branches towards stations in the part of the Downtown Core northeast of the river (Dhoby Ghaut, Bras Basah and Esplanade).
Art in Transit[]

According to its creators, this installation is an “illuminated celebration of our collective dreams”. Suspended under a skylight over escalators, the droplets playfully reflect rays and create a moving kaleidoscope on the station floors. These waves of light mirror the ebb and flow of commuter traffic and reflects the interaction of passengers in transit with the art piece.
Downtown Line[]

The dynamic art piece examines the geology and traditions of Singapore, focusing on the layers of cultural sediments. Visually, it also reminds one of colourful local kuehs, shedding light on Singapore’s multi-cultural food to traditions.

Platforms[]
With the construction of the Downtown Line platforms below the Circle Line platforms, this station becomes the deepest station in the entire Mass Rapid Transit network before Bencoolen Station was completed. Its deepest platform is located at basement 7 with the Downtown Line side platform with trains bound for Bugis with a depth of 43 meters below ground.
The lower CCL platform.
Promenade station has four platforms utilized by both rail lines for trains travelling in either direction, arranged in a four side platforms spanning four separate underground floors, with the Circle Line occupying the upper two and the Downtown Line occupying the lower two. A cross-platform interchange was not possible at this station as the Circle Line makes a very sharp right turn towards Esplanade, interfering with the Downtown Line which heads straight towards Bayfront. Tightening the curve radius to allow the Circle Line to occupy the two currently unused platforms might not have been possible.
The upper DTL platform
The lower DTL platform.
As a result, the station was opened with an unused tunnel at Basements 2 and 4, where another platform would have been located, and the current Circle Line platforms operated as side platforms with large concourse areas. The Downtown Line side platforms were eventually built underneath the existing Circle Line station in a stacked formation (Basement 6 and 7), with its two tracks located directly underneath the unused platform at Basement 4. A part of the previously-unused Basement 4 unused platform was used to construct the DTL transfer concourse, where escalators and lifts connect it to the lower DTL platform levels. There are no direct lifts or escalators to the station concourse; passengers commuting to and from the DTL platform(s) must change escalators or lifts at B4. The thought process behind such constructions are unknown. Its service floors are located at Basement 3 and Basement 5 and are not accessible to the public.
Passenger Information Systems, which are plasma display screens located at each platform, display expected train arrival times and key messages. Tactile flooring helps to guide the visually-handicapped from the platform to the station exits.

Concourse[]

The main concourse at Basement 1 feature faregates for automatic fare collection and provides access between paid and unpaid areas of the station, with at least one bidirectional wide-swinging gate for the benefit of carrying bulky items such as those from the IT Show and COMEX.
General Ticketing Machines allows commuters to top-up travel cards where those who are exiting Promenade must take out $5 (for students) and $10 (for adults), or use e-payments (NETS, Credit and Debit Card) to top up travel card. While the fact is that, the station offices function as Passenger Service Centres, and are located at Basement 1 for CCL and Basement 4 for DTL, the top-up service is not available at the station office.

With the DTL platforms built underneath the CCL station, an additional concourse at Basement 4 links the CCL station with the DTL station. The DTL concourse occupied part of a disused platform opposite of CCL Platform A. There are no direct lifts or escalators to the DTL concourse; passengers commuting from the CCL concourse at B1 change escalators or lifts at B4.
