A ride to NS28 Marina South Pier

NS28 Marina South Pier is the latest station to be added to the network of MRT lines in Singapore. It is located just right beside the actual Marina South Pier and is next to the sea. How useful will this station be for consumers? I went down today to have a look, walking from Bayshore MRT there, covering a distance of about 2km.

Travelling from Bayshore was no easy feat. NS28 Marina South Pier was approximately 2km away from Bayshore MRT, and a significant distance to travel there was needed. The only bus service that operates at Marina South Pier is 402, whose frequency might be rather irregular.

The walk was worth it. Occasionally glancing at the Marina Bay skyline and accompanied by the natural landscape of the area, it was simply a mixture of Singapore’s urbanisation and nature. It is no wonder why Singapore is widely recognised as a Garden City.

I finally reached my destination, NS28 Marina South Pier, which I did not manage to take pictures of the train platform. Platform A was only available for boarding towards Jurong East whereas Platform B was for arrivals from Marina Bay. If you ever wished to have a ride to Marina South Pier just to get seats from the terminus, you probably have to get off when you reach the station and board it again when it arrives at Platform A.

Walking this stretch from Bayshore MRT to Marina South Pier was simply amazing and breathtaking for me. While I have heard much about how the Marina Bay skyline was like, it was certainly different from experiencing it first-hand. The wealth that Singapore has built up was no easy feat and it is important to treasure whatever we have now.

I would just come to this place to relax and enjoy myself, basking in the glory of what our forefathers have done for us and serve as a motivation to study harder. So then, why would you despise such a beautiful country?
