What is Kallang MRT station?
'''Kallang MRT Station (EW10)''' is an above-ground [[Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore)|Mass Rapid Transit]] station on the [[East West MRT Line|East West Line]] in [[Kallang]], [[Singapore]]. It is painted in yellow livery and located next to the [[Kallang River]], which is famous for its water sports. This is the last above-ground station westbound until [[Redhill MRT station|Redhill]]. Westward of the station towards Lavender, the tracks lose elevation until they level out when sufficiently underground. This is because of space limitations in the Central Business District. The station is within the vicinity of [[Boon Keng MRT station]] on the [[North East MRT Line|North East Line]], [[Stadium MRT station]] on the [[Circle MRT Line|Circle Line]] and [[Geylang Bahru MRT station]] on the [[Downtown MRT Line|Downtown Line]]. Kallang station is located next to the Lorong 1 Geylang Bus Terminal and within walking distance to the [[Kallang Riverside Park]] located at Kampong Bugis. When [[Stadium MRT Station]] was under construction, Kallang station would be crowded when either the [[Singapore Indoor Stadium]] or the [[National Stadium, Singapore|National Stadium]] hosted an event. After the opening of the Singapore Sports Hub, a sheltered walkway was built to connect Kallang station to the Singapore Sports Hub to ease overcrowding on Stadium station which only caters to 3-car trains. It was formerly E3, before 2001. == References == {{reflist}} {{Singapore MRT stations|east-west=yes}} [[Category:Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore) stations]]
