The Buona Vista MRT Station (EW21/CC22) is a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station located in the town of Buona Vista in Singapore that is part of the East West Line and the future Circle Line (under construction), and serves as an interchange between the two lines. On the East West Line, it is between the Dover and Commonwealth stations. On the Circle Line (under construction), it is between the Holland Village and one-north MRT Stations. The station's livery is light green.
It has a taxi stand and serves the Ministry of Education. Just opposite to this MRT is the Biopolis campus. It is one of two stations on the Mass Rapid Transit with direct shuttle bus services to the National University of Singapore and National University Hospital besides Clementi, with bus service number 95 operated by SBS Transit to and from Kent Ridge Bus Terminal. By February 2011[citation needed], the university will be served directly by the Kent Ridge MRT Station, a station on the Circle Line and two stations south of Buona Vista. Thus, the travelling time from Bishan to Buona Vista will be shortened to around 17 minutes bypassing the northern sector of the island as well as Jurong East and Toa Payoh and the city.
The station was the last station to have the lifts installed for the benefit of the elderly and the disabled in April 2009, much later than the rest due to complexities with the Circle Line construction.
