context_page_description: Bukit Panjang MRT/LRT station is a Mass Rapid Transit and Light Rail Transit station on the Downtown line and the Bukit Panjang LRT line, located on the triple-point boundary of Bukit Panjang, Bukit Batok and Choa Chu Kang. It is located at the junction of Upper Bukit Timah Road and Petir Road in Singapore near Bukit Panjang Plaza and is part of the Bukit Panjang Integrated Transport Hub.
  The LRT station opened on 6 November 1999 along with the other stations on the BPLRT. It later became an interchange station and the terminus of the DTL after the opening of DTL Stage 2 on 27 December 2015. Primarily serving Bukit Panjang New Town, the Downtown line station is not directly linked to the Bukit Panjang LRT station. Passengers transferring between these two lines have to exit the former station before entering the latter station, or vice versa.

  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.
  In 2015, Half-Height Platform Barriers were installed on the LRT Platforms. The Bukit Panjang and Choa Chu Kang stations were the first stations on the BPLRT line to install Half-Height Platform Barriers due to foreseen high commuter traffic from the Downtown Line. These barriers were installed in an effort to prevent people falling or getting onto the tracks.
