Exit building of Hume station

Hume MRT station is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the Downtown Line (DTL) in Singapore. Featuring a colour scheme of green, yellow, and white, the station has two exits and serves the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, the Rail Corridor, and the Former Ford Factory, the latter of which is depicted in the Art-in-Transit artwork Continuity. The station was initially built only with structural provisions due to a lack of projected ridership, with works completed in 2014. Following petitions by nearby residents to improve connectivity around the area, the government announced the start of construction of the remaining facilities in March 2019. Fitting-out works began in February 2021, and the station opened on 28 February 2025, ahead of the original deadline of the second quarter of the same year. Hume was the first underground infill station on the Singapore MRT network. (Full article...)
