Choa Chu Kang station in Singapore

Choa Chu Kang MRT/LRT station is an elevated Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) and Light Rail Transit (LRT) interchange station in Choa Chu Kang, Singapore. Serving the North South line (NSL) and the Bukit Panjang LRT line (BPLRT), the station is located near the Choa Chu Kang Bus Interchange and Lot One shopping centre. Other surrounding landmarks include Keat Hong Community Club and Choa Chu Kang Park.

First announced as Bukit Panjang, the station was built as part of Phase II of the initial MRT system and was completed in March 1990. Choa Chu Kang station became part of the NSL when the line extended to this station via Woodlands station in 1996. The BPLRT station opened on 6 November 1999.

The station saw other upgrades including the installation of half-height platform screen doors on the NSL platforms in 2012 and platform barriers for the LRT station in 2015. New side platforms were completed for the LRT station in December 2016 alongside widening the staircase connecting the MRT and LRT platforms to improve passenger flow in the station. In May 2018, it was announced that the station would be an interchange with the Jurong Region line when the first stage opens in 2027.
