Woodlands MRT Station (NS9) is an above-ground Mass Rapid Transit train station on the North South Line in Singapore. It is integrated together with the Woodlands Regional Bus Interchange located beneath the station and also Causeway Point Shopping Centre, which serves as a major shopping centre for residents living in Woodlands New Town. Woodlands Civic Centre, the new Republic Polytechnic, Singapore Sports School and Innova Junior College are within the vicinity of the station.
