Bukit Panjang MRT Station (GPS: 1.37898, 103.76162; DT1) is a mass rapid transit station of the Singapore MRT in Bukit Panjang, near the boundaries of Choa Chu Kang and Bukit Batok, Singapore. Adjacent is the Bukit Panjang LRT Station (BP6) on Petir Road. The station was originally intended to be called Petir MRT Station, but was renamed Bukit Panjang MRT Station, to avoid confusion with the Petir neighbourhood, which is not in the vicinity.
The Bukit Panjang MRT/LRT Station went into service for the Bukit Panjang LRT Line on 6 November, 1999. When the Downtown Line was constructed, the station became the western terminus of that line. A corridor links the platform of the Bukit Panjang LRT Line to the Downtown Line. Commuters need to tap out when exiting one line and tap in again when entering the other. The Downtown Line began operations here on 27 December, 2015.
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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
