Simei MRT station

Simei station in detail
A quiet residential stop between Tampines and Tanah Merah, Simei serves the housing estate of the same name and is best known to visitors as the station for Changi General Hospital. The station sits elevated above Simei Street, with a small neighbourhood mall, Eastpoint Mall, built into the interchange below. It sees a steady flow of hospital staff, patients and students from the nearby polytechnic rather than tourist traffic, and trains here are generally less crowded than at the malls on either side. For most visitors it functions as a waypoint rather than a destination, useful mainly for a hospital appointment or a stay in the surrounding estate.
