Most passengers are Bedok residents commuting to and from work or school, along with people changing between trains and buses at the interchange next door. Shoppers heading to Bedok Mall and diners going to the nearby hawker centre also make up a large share of the daily crowd. Because the station sits in the middle of a main road, underground passageways connect it to both sides, so you never have to cross traffic at street level.
History of Bedok MRT station
The station first appeared in early MRT plans in 1982 under the name Chai Chee and was renamed Bedok by October 1983. It opened to passengers on 4 November 1989, and 17,614 people entered it on opening day before 8 pm. Its original code was E8, which changed to EW5 in August 2001 when the network adopted its current numbering system. A 150 metre covered shelter linking the station to the bus interchange was finished by June 1992 as the Bedok Town Council’s first major project.
Inside Bedok MRT station
The station has two levels: a concourse with the ticketing office and an upper floor with a single island platform under a dome-shaped roof, so trains in both directions stop at the same platform. Half-height platform screen doors line the platform edge, and large high-volume low-speed fans help keep the area cool. The station is wheelchair-accessible and has bicycle facilities. Look out for a mural on the history and landmarks of Bedok, which forms part of SMRT’s heritage-themed public art series.
