Yau Ma Tei, formerly called Waterloo after Waterloo Road, is an MTR station located in Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon. It is the western terminus of the Kwun Tong Line, and is also served by the Tsuen Wan Line.

The station opened in 1979 and renamed as Yau Ma Tei on 31 May 1985 along with Argyle (Mong Kok) and Chater (Central).

Yau Ma Tei is an interchange station, yet it is used less frequently for this purpose than the nearby Mong Kok station since the platforms are not designed for cross-platform interchange. The lower platforms are therefore used mainly by Kwun Tong Line passengers whose MTR journeys begin or end at Yau Ma Tei. This station is used by many students during commuting hours, since it is in the vicinity of many large schools.

The station's livery colour is a light grey. Red, white, and blue stripes, representing the colours of the French national flag[citation needed], is located prominently adorned the station walls until they were removed as part of renovation works in 2005 which also saw the original Helvetica typeface, used in station name signs, replaced by Myriad.

Station layout

As part of the Sha Tin to Central Link, it is planned that the Kwun Tong Line will be extended towards Whampoa via Ho Man Tin. As such, the layout of the station may be changed to allow opposite-directional cross-platform interchange.
