Bishan MRT Station (NS17/CC15) is a Singapore Mass Rapid Transit interchange station along the North South Line and the Circle Line that serves the Bishan community, especially that of Bishan East. The station is located in Central Singapore, along Bishan Road, close to the town centre of Bishan. On the North South Line, some trains from Bishan Depot arrive at platform B of the station to travel southbound towards Marina South Pier for evening peak period services. An underpass allows commuters to transfer from one line to the other. Bishan followed the same town identical name, where prior to the renaming in 1985, it was known as "Kampong San Teng" or "San Teng", just before the exhumation of the cemetery began in 1977 and completed in 1983. The kampong was demolished in 1985 to make way for the second phase of Bishan New Town.
