**Yew Tee MRT station** is an above-ground [Mass Rapid Transit](/source/Mass_Rapid_Transit_(Singapore)) (MRT) station on the [North–South Line](/source/North%E2%80%93South_Line_(Singapore)) (NSL) in [Yew Tee](/source/Yew_Tee), Singapore. Operated by [SMRT Corporation](/source/SMRT_Corporation), the station serves various nearby landmarks such as [Yew Tee Point](/source/Yew_Tee_Point) and [Unity Secondary School](/source/Unity_Secondary_School). Like most stations on the extension, it features a [kampong](/source/Kampong)-styled roof and a colour scheme designed to blend in with its surroundings.

The station was first announced as **Choa Chu Kang North** in February 1991, where it would be built as part of the [Woodlands extension](/source/History_of_the_MRT_(Singapore)#Woodlands_Extension) of the NSL. It was renamed Yew Tee in November 1991. Construction for Yew Tee began by July 1993 and was completed in October 1994. Yew Tee station opened on 10 February 1996. Half-height [platform screen doors](/source/Platform_screen_doors) and [high-volume low-speed fans](/source/High-volume_low-speed_fan) were installed by August 2011 and the first quarter of 2013, respectively.

## History

Yew Tee station shortly after opening in 1996

Whilst the [Mass Rapid Transit](/source/Mass_Rapid_Transit_(Singapore)) (MRT) system was halfway through construction, plans for an extension of the [North–South Line](/source/North%E2%80%93South_Line_(Singapore)) (NSL) from [Yishun](/source/Yishun) to [Woodlands](/source/Woodlands%2C_Singapore) were conceptualised by the [Mass Rapid Transit Corporation](/source/SMRT_Corporation) (MRTC) in March 1988, with a study carried out two months earlier to assess the viability of the extension.[5][6] In February 1991, the MRTC announced that the extension, called the [Woodlands extension](/source/History_of_the_MRT_(Singapore)#Woodlands_Extension), would start construction by the end of the year, as well as connect [Yishun](/source/Yishun_MRT_station) and [Choa Chu Kang](/source/Choa_Chu_Kang_MRT%2FLRT_station) stations together through Woodlands. Six stations were planned, with Choa Chu Kang North among them.[7][8]

Eight consultants, which consisted of joint ventures, were considered for the extension's architectural and engineering works by April 1991.[9] By July 1991, the MRTC appointed Parson Brinckerhoff, SAA partnership and KPK Quantity Surveyors as the design consultants.[10] After consulting various groups, Choa Chu Kang North was renamed Yew Tee in November 1991.[11][12] In December 1992, the contract for Yew Tee and Kranji stations' construction was awarded to [Penta Ocean Construction](/source/Penta-Ocean) and Hexacon Construction for [S$](/source/Singapore_dollar)131.5 million (1992) ([US$](/source/United_States_dollar)80.73 million).[13] By July 1993, piling works for Yew Tee began,[14] with structural works completed in October 1994.[15] As announced in January 1996 by then-Communications Minister [Mah Bow Tan](/source/Mah_Bow_Tan),[16] Yew Tee, along with other stations on the Woodlands extension, were opened on 10 February 1996.[17][18] Prior to the opening, an open house for the Woodlands extension station was held on 4 February.[19][20]

Following a rise in track intrusions as well as commuters slipping when rushing for the train, the [Land Transport Authority](/source/Land_Transport_Authority) (LTA) and [SMRT](/source/SMRT_Trains) decided to install half-height [platform screen doors](/source/Platform_screen_doors) (PSD), where it was expected for the works to be completed by 2012.[21] After several tests at different stations,[22] the PSDs were expected to be installed in Yew Tee by 2012,[23] with works starting by August 2011.[24] The works were completed in March 2012.[25] [High-volume low-speed fans](/source/High-volume_low-speed_fan) were also installed in the station by the first quarter of 2013.[26]

## Details

Yew Tee station is on the NSL with the [station number](/source/Station_numbering) of NS5, situated between [Choa Chu Kang](/source/Choa_Chu_Kang_MRT%2FLRT_station) and [Kranji](/source/Kranji_MRT_station) stations.[27] When it opened, it had the station number of N20[28] before being changed to its current station number in August 2001 as a part of a [system-wide campaign](/source/History_of_the_MRT_(Singapore)#31_July_2001_to_30_January_2020) to cater to the expanding MRT System.[29][30] As a part of the NSL, the station is operated by [SMRT Corporation](/source/SMRT_Trains).[31] Like other stations on the Woodlands extension, Yew Tee is [elevated](/source/Elevated_railway).[32] The station operates between 5:30 am and 12:50 am from Monday to Saturday, and until 1:20 am on Sundays and public holidays.[33] Train frequencies range from 2–5 minutes during peak hours to average 5 minutes during off-peak hours.[34] The station is wheelchair accessible and provides bicycle facilities.[35][36]

Yew Tee station was named after [Yew Tee](/source/Yew_Tee) village, formerly located off Woodlands Road. According to one resident, the village's name originated from oil stored there during the [Japanese occupation of Singapore](/source/Japanese_occupation_of_Singapore).[11][37] The station runs alongside Choa Chu Kang Drive and has four exits serving surrounding amenities such as [Yew Tee Point](/source/Yew_Tee_Point), Yew Tee Square, [Unity Secondary School](/source/Unity_Secondary_School), and [Yew Tee Primary School](/source/List_of_primary_schools_in_Singapore).[35][38]

Like most other stations on the Woodlands extension, Yew Tee features a [kampong](/source/Kampong)-styled roof and a colour scheme designed to blend in with its surroundings. Its platform is also larger than those of previous stations as its electrical maintenance room was relocated to the concourse.[39] The station's bus bays, measuring 36 metres (118 ft) long, are longer than those at previous stations.[40] Similarly, its commercial space is larger than at previous stations, with the MRTC believing that businesses would move in due to the station's location, existing commercial space already occupied in other stations, and the expected influx of people moving to [Woodlands](/source/Woodlands%2C_Singapore) and [Sembawang](/source/Sembawang).[41]
