    Name is misspelling of Malay word "beras basah" (wet rice). There was a river here (Stamford Canal). Cargo-loads of rice were dried along banks but regularly got wet by rising tide. Source: Infopedia

    That glass roof sure is pretty when it rains and you're looking up at it. Useful too, as I changed my mind and decided to head for another station with more shelter.

    The station is the 'Deepest' station in the MRT system at 35 metres below ground and its island platform is located at level B5. It is also the station with the longest escalator, at 41.3 metres.

    Sometimes the doors out to SMU don’t open when you’re trying to access from outside (eg out of hours, public holidays)

    It's a long way down to the train platform. So if you see that your train is coming in 2 mins, you better make your way down fast!

    If you are in rush for time, the lift is a better option than the escalators

    The station name made me giggle. Bras = women bras. Basah = wet (Malay/Indonesian). Wet Bras!
