Bukit Panjang MRT/LRT Station (BP6/DT1) is a Mass Rapid Transit interchange station on the Downtown Line located at the boundary of Bukit Panjang, Bukit Batok and Choa Chu Kang planning areas, Singapore, primarily serving Bukit Panjang New Town. It is the western terminus of the Downtown Line, with the line continuing northwards as a service route to Gali Batu Depot. The station will be integrated with the future redeveloped Bukit Panjang Bus Interchange in 2017.
The MRT station is connected to the LRT station via a bridge at the LRT station's mezzanine level. A short distance away from the interchange station is Bukit Panjang Plaza and Junction 10.
There is no paid link between the Bukit Panjang LRT station and the Downtown Line station, meaning that commuters are required to tap out and then tap in again when transferring between the two lines. There will be no extra charges as long as the transfer from Bukit Panjang LRT Street Level or the Mezzazine Level faregates and Downtown Line faregates (or vice-versa) is made within 15 minutes.
10,000 regular peak-hour commuters were stranded on the morning of 30 August 2001 because the LRT service was still being repaired after a power failure on the evening of 29 August 2001. An LRT train had hit a switch beam at the Bukit Panjang station at about 5.40 pm on 29 August, resulting in the power failure. It was some 16 hours later before the service resumed at 10.15 am later that day.
On 15 July 2008, when the precise station locations were revealed, the working name of the station was revealed as Petir MRT Station, named after Petir Road, but led to concerns that there would be confusion with Petir, which the station was not near to, despite similar names used. After a series of public polling by the Land Transport Authority, on 16 June 2009, the finalized station name was revealed to be Bukit Panjang MRT Station.
