==History==
==History==
Before (and during) the erection of Fajar Station, residents of this part of Bukit Panjang Town were served by bus service 179 that called on the bus stop just next to the Fajar Station. This bus brought passengers around Bukit Panjang Town and towards the [[Choa Chu Kang MRT Station|Choa Chu Kang]] [[Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore)|MRT train station]] where they could transfer easily to the train system mentioned.

Bus service 179 has since been axed after the opening of the station. Fajar Station, thus [[Bukit Panjang LRT]], now caters to the residents living in the vicinity of the station and still brings passengers to the [[Choa Chu Kang MRT Station|Choa Chu Kang]] [[Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore)|MRT train station]].
===2017 incident===
A man was found dead on the LRT tracks at Fajar station at about 1am on 24 March 2017. In an emailed statement, SMRT said it was alerted that a body was spotted on the tracks at the station after the last train in service left the platform. He was the third person to be killed along the Bukit Panjang LRT Line since the line commenced operations in 1999.<ref>[//www.straitstimes.com/singapore/man-dies-after-being-hit-by-train-at-fajar-lrt-station "Man dies after being run over by train at Fajar LRT station"].
