The Choa Chu Kang MRT/LRT Station (NS4/BP1) is an interchange station that serves the area of Choa Chu Kang. It is part of the North South Line and the Bukit Panjang LRT Line in Singapore.
The station used to be the terminus of the branch line of the East West Line before February 1996. With the opening of the Woodlands extension, trains can run directly from the station beyond Yishun MRT Station, to Marina Bay MRT Station, and hence the branch line was incorporated into the North South Line from then on.
This also means that Choa Chu Kang has terminating facilities for Marina Bay-direction trains.
