Oasis LRT Station
Oasis LRT Station (PE6) is a light rail transit (LRT) station on the Punggol LRT Line East Loop in Singapore. It was opened in June 2007, more than two years after the rest of the line opened (except Damai) in January 2005 after more residents had moved into the HDB blocks adjacent to the station. Previously, residents in the area had to take a ten minutes walk to the nearest bus stop, as there were no bus services serving the station's vicinity.

Famous quotes containing the words oasis and/or station:
“Je célébrai mon jour de fête
Dans une oasis d’Afrique
Vêtu d’une peau de girafe.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
