Buangkok MRT Station (GPS: 1.38241, 103.89299; NE15) is an underground station of the Singapore MRT. It is located on Sengkang Central near the intersection with Compassvale Bow. Served by the North East Line, the station is located between the Hougang MRT Station (NE14) and Sengkang MRT Station (NE16).
Unlike the 16 other stations that was opened on 20 June 2003, the Buangkok MRT Station remained closed when the North East Line became operational. It was originally planned to be in operation along with the other station, but just a few days before the North East Line commenced, SBS Transit decided not to open the station, claiming low passenger traffic of the area.
The station was only opened on 15 January 2006, following much public displeasure and manifestations of grievances over the postponement. As predicted by its operator, the Buangkok MRT Station registers the lowest ridership of all the stations of the Singapore MRT. The station is within walking distance of the Renjong LRT Station of the Sengkang LRT Line.
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
