Bugis MRT Station (EW12/DT6) is located on the East West Line of Singapore MRT. It is located next to Bugis Junction, which has a direct link to the mall. It has almost the same design as the neighbouring Lavender MRT Station, save for the different colours of lights used.
The station is busy due to the many places it serves which includes Sim Lim Square, Bugis Village, many shophouses housing retail and food outlets, nearby Kampong Glam and the National Library. Many private educational schools in the area like Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts and LASALLE College of the Arts are also situated nearby.
The station is to be an interchange with the proposed Downtown MRT Line. It will be part of Stage 1 of the line.

[edit] 2007 accident
On December 27 2007, 15-year old Teo Boon Hwee got her leg caught in the gap between the platform and the train, causing westbound services from Aljunied to Outram to be disrupted during the evening peak hours. The girl was not seriously hurt and was sent to Singapore General Hospital for treatment. This was the first major accident in an underground MRT station in Singapore. [1]
