Aljunied station in Singapore

Aljunied MRT station is an above-ground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the East West line (EWL) in Geylang, Singapore. Operated by SMRT Trains, the station serves the eponymous Aljunied subzone of Geylang. Other nearby landmarks include Geylang East Public Library and Geylang Methodist Primary and Secondary School. Like other stations of the eastern part of the East–West line, the station has a domed roof design. It is mostly wheelchair accessible and has bicycle facilities.

First announced in May 1982, it was to be constructed as part of Phase II of the MRT system. The station opened on 4 November 1989 as part of the MRT eastern line extension to Tanah Merah station. Accessibility enhancements for pedestrian bridges near the station were completed in July 2011 as well as additional bicycle parking facilities in October 2012. Half-height platform screen doors and high-volume low-speed fans were installed by August 2011 and the first quarter of 2013, respectively. In 2018, it was the temporary terminus for train services during the early closures, late openings and full closures of ten stations in the eastern portion of the EWL due to maintenance.
