Paya Lebar MRT station (IPA: /ˈpɑːjɑː ˌleɪbɑːr, ˈpɑːjə -/ PAH-yə LAY-bar) is a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) interchange station on the East West line (EWL) and Circle line (CCL) in Geylang, Singapore.

The contractor had partnered with a French company Societe Generale D'Enterprises Sainrapt Et Brice (SGE) for the construction.

Following a rise in track intrusions as well as commuters slipping when rushing for the train, the LTA and SMRT decided to install platform screen doors.

[17] After several successful tests at Jurong East, Yishun and Pasir Ris, half-height platform screen doors were eventually installed and commenced operations at Paya Lebar station by March 2012.

[18] In addition, high-volume low-speed fans were installed and started operations since 14 July that year together with Kembangan station.

[19] Privacy screens were installed at some parts from Paya Lebar Road all the way to Geylang East Central, to minimise the noise impact from residents since October 2016 and completed in May 2017.

[27] The Circle line station faced a major civil engineering challenge with regard to the underpinning of two existing EWL viaduct pillars.

Additional materials and tools were on standby if the pillars start to tilt when the piles were cut, and the Land Transport Authority (LTA) worked out emergency procedures with the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF).

[40]The artwork The Signs of Times by Salleh Japar is showcased at the concourse level of the CCL station as part of the Art-in-Transit programme.

The artwork showcases abstract pictographs reflecting the varying periods of Paya Lebar's developments from a rural village to a satellite town.

The first entry – Matrix, which received the top prize in the international competition – consists of a series of benches engraved with the name of the station in a dot-matrix style on the seat surface.

[44] There is also a mural created by local artists Sayed Ismali, James Suresh, and Suki Chong entitled The Paya Lebar Story.

As a part of the heritage themed Comic Connect public art display by SMRT,[45] the mural depicts squatters and Arab merchant Syed Omar Aljunied as well as a variety of landmarks such as Kampung Melayu, Sri Sivan Temple, Foo Hai Ch'an Monastery, Tanjong Katong Complex, the former Geylang Fire Station, and the former Singapore International Airport.

Malls and other building in the vicinity that are not linked directly by underpass include SingPost Centre and Lifelong Learning Institute.

[47] Exit C provides access to Foo Hai Ch'an Monastery, Sri Sivan Temple and Masjid Wak Tanjong.
