This article will outline every step on how to get to Junction 9 in Yishun by MRT. 

Regardless of whether you are living in Singapore, or staying at a hotel near an MRT station , by the end of this article, you will know exactly where to transfer stations, which MRT lines to take and which station is the most convenient for directly accessing Junction Nine. 

Junction Nine is not the only shopping mall in Yishun. There are several other shopping centres and outlying attractions you can explore during the same day. And that’s why we will also explain what other points of interest are worth exploring once you reach Yishun. 

Shopping at Junction Nine in Singapore

Junction Nine is a popular shopping mall in Yishun, Singapore. It is sometimes called a ‘neighborhood mall’ because it is a reliable source of goods and services for residents of nearby areas. 

Even though Junction Nine is quite far from downtown Singapore, it’s still easy to access using public transport. 

It consists of 2 main retail levels consisting of 146 commercial units. Therefore, when you visit Junction Nine, you will have a wide selection of products and a healthy selection of food and beverage outlets. 

Aside from the shopping centre, the Yishun Nine complex consists of 2 blocks of residential apartments. Each apartment spans 11 storeys high and offers residents convenient access to the mall. 

Expect to find competitive prices at Junction Nine in Yishun as opposed to luxury items.

Getting to Junction 9 in Yishun by MRT

Step 1: Walk to the most convenient MRT station. 

The first step in getting to Junction Nine via MRT is to access the closest MRT station. 

Fortunately, Singapore has many metro lines spanning most city areas. Find the closest one to your accommodation .

If you haven’t selected an area or place to stay in Singapore, consider popular, well-connected properties such as The  Fullerton Hotel or Marina Bay Sands . Try to find a place within 2-3 minutes walking distance to make getting around more efficient. 

Step 2: Plan your trip – transfers, lines and stations to Junction 9.

The most convenient MRT station for getting to Junction Nine Shopping Mall is Yishun Station (NS13). 

It is located on Singapore’s metro map on the Red (North-South Line). 

One important thing to consider when heading to Yishun and Junction Nine is transferring lines on the way. Having many metro lines makes things easier in Singapore, but you have to identify the best station to transfer lines if you are not staying along the Red Line. 

Interchange Stations to Access the North-South Line

To help you plan your route to Junction Nine, refer to the list below. It is a summary of the most popular interchange stations on Singapore’s MRT network to the North-South Line. 

Bishan – transfer between the Circle Line and the North-South Line

Newton –  transfer between the Downtown Line and the North-South Line

Dhoby Ghaut – transfer between the North-East, Circle and the North-South Line

City Hall – transfer between the East-West and North-South Line

Raffles Place – transfer between the East-West and North-South Line

Marina Bay – transfer between the Thomson East Coast, Circle and North-South Line 

Woodlands – transfer between the Thomson East Coast and North-South Line 

Jurong East – transfer between the East-West and North-South Line

You can find metro maps in every station in Singapore. Typically, a large map is quite close to the entrance gates where you tap your card/ticket to enter. 

Step 3: Buy your metro ticket to reach Yishun MRT Station (NS13). 

You can select from a few different ticket options to reach Junction Nine in Yishun by MRT.

  • Stored Value Cards
  • Tourist Passes

We used a stored value card when figuring out how to get to Junction 9 in Yishun by MRT. Once you buy one, just top it up, and you can get on the MRT, LRT and buses throughout the city. 

Singapore Tourist Passes are another card that you can get in the city. 

These are more popular with foreign visitors to Singapore. Present your ID at ticketing offices, and don’t forget to return the card for a refund when applicable!

MONEY-SAVING TIP: Make Singapore cheaper by getting a MULTIPLE-ATTRACTION PASS which can save you up to 52% on entrance fees to the city’s top attractions . The key is to get them online in advance to get the discount. Already, over 200,000 Singaporeans and visitors have purchased these to make sightseeing a lot cheaper. These passes also work very with the transportation cards in Singapore.

Step 4: Complete any necessary transfers to the North-South (Red) Line and head to Yishun Station (NS13).

Check out the location of your interchange station(s) and then complete any necessary transfers to the North-South Line.

Take the North-South Line (Red) to Yishun Station (NS13). 

Although Yishun Station can be accessed from the north, most commuters will likely be heading from the southern regions of the city. 

Yishun Station (NS13) has two neighbouring stations that you should know about to plan your exit from the train: 

Canberra (NS12) (North)

Once you arrive at Yishun Station, decide on whether you want to walk or bus from there to Junction 9?

Yishun-Sembawang Neighbourhood Guide — 9 Lesser Known things to do in the North of Singapore

yishun mrt travel time

Is the north of Singapore really worth travelling to? 🤔

Those who don’t frequent the north of Singapore may associate Yishun with crimes and Sembawang with… well, the hot spring park. But is that really all to part of Singapore?

Beaulieu Jetty and Sembawang Beach - Sembawang Heritage Trail guide

Due of the lack of well-known landmarks in the Yishun-Sembawang neighbourhood, it’s unlikely you’ve explored this side of Singapore unless you live in the north. The area however is actually scattered with hidden gems. From visiting an old jetty to soaking in a hot spring — these are just some of the unique experiences you can enjoy with a trip up north.

yishun mrt travel time

That said, the lack of accessibility also means there aren’t huge crowds that gather here. So if you’re looking for a quiet day out, here are interesting things you can do in the Yishun-Sembawang neighbourhood:

Things to do in Yishun

1) visit jenal jetty.

At the edge of Yishun Dam, away from civilisation, lies Singapore’s last fishing village — Jenal Jetty. Filled with rustic charm, the jetty offers visitors a glimpse into the past.

Watch as fishermen set out to sea on their small boats. Or witness them returning from a fishing trip, along with their catch of the day.

Fishermen at Jenal Jetty

Although there are a couple of shelters and kelongs , these fishermen do not live in the village. Instead, they’re only there to fish and hang out with friends.

Unfortunately, the jetty is inaccessible to the public. But if you want to learn more about the place and its people, you can join a guided tour . Alternatively, you can head over to Yishun Dam to get a view of the jetty from afar.

How to get there: From Khatib MRT, take bus 117 and alight at Aft Yishun Ave 8 bus stop (10 stops) — 8min walk to Yishun Dam

2) Kayak at Khatib Bongsu
