Bishan station in Singapore
Bishan MRT station is a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) interchange station on the North–South (NSL) and Circle (CCL) lines in Bishan, Singapore. The station is located along Bishan Road within the town centre; it is integrated with Junction 8 shopping centre and is close to Bishan Bus Interchange. Nearby schools include Raffles Institution, Catholic High School, and Kuo Chuan Presbyterian Primary and Secondary Schools.
Initially announced as Kampung San Teng, it was renamed San Teng and subsequently Bishan. Bishan NSL station opened on 7 November 1987; it was one of the first five stations on the MRT network. During its construction, the original island platform of the NSL was split into two separate side platforms and the station was upgraded to cope with increased passenger traffic from the CCL, which opened on 28 May 2009. In 2017, tunnels between Bishan and Braddell stations flooded, disrupting train services on the NSL. Bishan NSL is the only ground-level station on the MRT network, while the CCL station houses Move! by Soh Ee Shaun, an Art-in-Transit artwork. Due to the station's location near a former cemetery, the station is said to be haunted.
