within walking distances to the Tampines North Community Club, Tampines Polyclinic, Our Tampines Hub and the Masjid Darul Ghufran. The station also serves two bus interchanges: the Tampines Bus Interchange and the Tampines Concourse Bus Interchange. The latter bus interchange, which opened on 18 December 2016, was built as an extension of the existing bus interchange. Services The station is an interchange between the EWL and the DTL. The official station code is EW2/DT32. On the EWL, the station is between the Pasir Ris and Simei stations. The EWL station operates between 5:22am and 11:39am and has headways of 2 to 5 minutes depending on peak hours. On the DTL, the station is between the Tampines West and Tampines East stations. The DTL station operates between 5:41am and 12:35am and has headways of 2 to 5 minutes depending on peak hours. The DTL station is not directly connected to the EWL station and hence commuters have to exit either of the stations to transfer to the other line via a sheltered walkway. The transfer is considered a "valid transfer" of a "journey" as long as it does not exceed 15 minutes. Design Like most EWL elevated stations on the eastern segment on the line, Tampines station has the notable feature of the dome-shaped roof, segmented like a caterpillar, over the platform level. The design was an attempt by the MRT Corporation (MRTC) to give the stations on the EWL an "attractive look". The colour scheme used for the station is rustic brown, reflected on the doors to the restricted areas and the ceiling trunking box at the platform level of the station. The DTL station, designed by Greenhilli, is intended to "people-centric" while built at an affordable cost. It is designed to facilitate movement through interconnectivity, spatial volume, asymmetry, colour and "super-graphics". The spacious interior improves visual awareness within the station, fostering "intuitive" wayfinding and giving the station identity that reflects the locality of the area. The architecture of the DTL station allows future integration with upcoming developments, including provisions for additional underground developments above the station structure. Public artwork As part of the MRT system's Art-in-Transit Programme, The Big Round & The Tall Long by Studio Juju is an artwork consisting of two huge shapes – the Big Round and the Tall Long – on the opposite walls of the DTL platforms.
