Tampines East MRT station
DTL · DT33
Tampines East station in detail
Tampines East is the closest MRT station to Our Tampines Hub, the sprawling community, sports and lifestyle complex with a public library, swimming pools, an air-conditioned stadium and a wide range of dining — reached by a covered walkway of around ten minutes. The station also serves the surrounding HDB estate and sits close to Tampines Eco Green, a small wetland park good for a quiet walk away from the malls. Tampines itself, the busier interchange with the East West Line and the malls of Tampines Mall, Century Square and Tampines 1, is one stop west; that is also where the Downtown Line's unpaid, out-of-station transfer to the wider Tampines bus interchange happens, not here.
