[edit] Etymology
The station and the building it is located in, the Ten Mile Junction shopping centre, was named after the distance (10 miles/16 kilometers) of the junction located outside it as calculated from the city along Bukit Timah Road and Upper Bukit Timah Road.
[edit] Vicinity
The station is accessible to Malaysia as 2 SBS Transit bus services, 160 and 170, stop near this station. The station is on the site of the former Bukit Panjang Police Station. The hill which the police station was situated was leveled to make way for the station in 1996. A shopping centre, Ten Mile Junction, is situated below the LRT station.
