Geocache Description:

These are Cache and Dashes for public transport users, which can be found at or near MRT train stations or ex-train stations. 


Buona Vista MRT Station (EW21/CC22) is a Mass Rapid Transit station located in Queenstown, Singapore. It is the second station in Singapore (after Paya Lebar) that serves both an above-ground line (East West Line) and an underground line (Circle Line). Its station colour is lime for EWL.

The artwork featured under the Art in Transit programme is The Tree of Life by Gilles Massot. Located on the lift shaft in the underground station, the artwork depicts a eucalyptus tree located at the nearby Kent Ridge Park that has been digitally edited to create an effect similar to David Hockney's photo montages. The tree also represents the jungle greenery which used to exist next to the above-ground station and is a result of the deep impression left on the artist of the landscape and view of the area.
