Bishan MRT station is a MRT interchange station on the North–South and Circle lines in Singapore. The station 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 Secondary School.
Initially announced as Kampong San Teng, it was renamed San Teng and subsequently Bishan. The 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. Bishan's NSL platforms are the only ground-level station on the MRT network, while the CCL station features Move! by Soh Ee Shaun, an Art-in-Transit artwork.
Owing to its location as the site of a former cemetery that was cleared for construction, the station is also associated with local folklore claiming it to be haunted
