prepared some times if you going to use it on the rush hour, it might cost you 30mins more
The station is spacious and quite clean. Has restrooms in case you need it. Though there are two things that they should improve. To topup my card, the night shift asked me toet out of the exit to enter the checkpoint AND they demand checking my belongings again. How am i supposed to produce anything illegal during that two seconds? Also, dotard (I mean security guards - it's spell checker's fault) on the platform keep blowing whistle right next to your ear even though safety gates are installed, hurting your ears until you reach whatever destination.
A poorly thought out disaster. Perhaps, once the 'Missing Link' issue is solved, I'll come back and rerate it, but for now, its a huge letdown.
Edit:. Rating revised. An extra star as the 'missing link' issue has been resolved, and an extra star as there is a real nice toilet on the entrance level.
Edit 2: first the toilet, I said it was nice before but having a stomach emergency this morning and putting it to use, I have to say it's the best toilet I have ever used in a transit facility in my life. Clean, well thought out, and they have a water hose for cleaning yourself.
Second, now that the missing like is gone and the blue line connects, it's obvious that the station platforms are just not wide enough. Further, the purple line just doesn't run enough trains to efficiently connect with the blue. I know nothing will be done, but something should.
Ver crowded during rush hour. Peak hour is between 7.30-8.30 AM.
You may have to wait two trains so that you can enter.
First metro station to have a built-in toilet. It's under escalator near ticket box.
A breeze to change between lines. Nice facility.
The blue line now terminates at this station making this station becomes an interchange station between the purple line and the blue line. (After waited for 1 year)
Very convenient!

Tao Poon will be a hub for public transport when all lines are completed. The MRT Blue Line will finally connect with MRT Purple Line in August 2017
All things almost great excepted that every purple MRT stations have no seat for elder or others who wait the train. By the way, i'm loving the services of every officers. :)
Tao Poon will be a hub for public transport when all lines are completed. At the moment the MRT Blue Line does not connect but should do soon which will be good for commuters on MRT Purple Line.

An alternative way to get in town with eager officers to serve you.
We rode the purple MRT line the second weekend it was open, so it was understandably crowded. It's a great train, the updates to the train, in my opinion, help to maximize the number of people that can ride the train comfortably with handles. They added an addition rail with handrails. I like the light up display that's shows which stop is next, a great addition for making the train more accessible for people with disabilities.
Wow! This is one of the best transit centers ever! It's absolutely enormous! I love the new trains on the purple line. They're bigger and fit a ton more people than the Blue Line trains. The MRT sky trains are way better than the BTS skytrains, because they give you a great view with giant windows. Service right now is slow because they're first starting. And the drivers have a hard time stopping at the right place. But I'm sure they'll fix all that soon. Right now they offer free buses to the Bang Sue MRT stop. I can't wait for the Blue Line to connect here!
