Station facts

Boon Keng MRT is station NE9 on the North East Line, and it is not an interchange station.

The station has multiple exits and named local access points: Exit A serves the Central Sikh Temple and Kallang Neighbourhood Police Post, Exit B serves the Bendemeer Wet Market & Hawker Centre and Kallang Community Club, and Exit C serves the Central Sikh Temple and Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital.

Public facilities at station level include lifts at Exits A, B and C, a lift from concourse to platform, taxi stand access at Exit B, and public toilets near Exit B.

Amenities and lifestyle

The station’s immediate lifestyle appeal is built around everyday neighborhood uses rather than major retail, with the Bendemeer Wet Market & Hawker Centre close to Exit B and the Central Sikh Temple near Exits A and C.

Station signage and exit art also reflect the area’s heritage character through household-item murals, described by SBS Transit as a tribute to the old shops and markets around Boon Keng.

Because bus stops are available at Exits A, B and C, the station works well as a local access point for errands, meals, worship visits, and short neighborhood trips.

Commute and access

Bus connectivity is a key strength here: SBS Transit lists bus stops at Exits A, B and C, and the station page ties Exit A and Exit B to multiple services.

Travelers can use Exit B for the station’s taxi stand, while lifts at all main exits and between concourse and platform improve step-free access.

The station’s layout supports practical neighborhood commuting, with clear exit-to-destination mapping for local institutions, market trips, and nearby residential blocks.
