Buangkok station in Singapore

Buangkok MRT station is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the North East Line (NEL) in Singapore. Located underneath Sengkang Central, near the junction with Compassvale Bow, the station serves the residential town of Buangkok. The station will also serve a future bus interchange and Sengkang Grand Residencies – an upcoming integrated development. The station is operated by SBS Transit.

First announced in March 1996 and beginning construction in April 1997, Buangkok station was one of two stations on the NEL to remain closed when the line began operations on 20 June 2003. After intense lobbying by grassroots leaders and residents, including a white elephant protest incident in 2005, the station opened on 15 January 2006. Buangkok station is a designated Civil Defence shelter. The two entrances of the station are enveloped by white Teflon sheets. An Art-in-Transit artwork by Vincent Leow, Water, Nature & Contemporary, is displayed at this station.
