Expo MRT station

Expo station in detail
Expo is the first stop on the Changi Airport shuttle branch and the station for the Singapore Expo convention centre, one of the country's largest event venues, as well as an interchange with the Downtown Line. Passengers coming from town on the East West Line change at Tanah Merah for the shuttle before reaching Expo, since the branch runs only between Tanah Merah, Expo and Changi Airport. On event days — trade shows, concerts or exhibitions — the station can get very busy, with dedicated crowd management in place.
Changing lines here is free. You stay inside the paid area and the fare is worked out once, from the distance of your whole journey.
