History

edit

Tengah Bus Interchange commenced operations on 21 July 2024.

Transport options were limited to a free shuttle bus before the extension of service 944 and renumbering on 24 September 2023 to service 992.[3][4] When Tengah Bus Interchange commenced operations, a new bus service, Bus 871 was introduced to better connect Tengah with Bukit Batok West & Beauty World.[5] On the same day, Services 870 and 992 was extended to Tengah Bus Interchange, connecting residents to Jurong East and Bukit Batok.[6]

It was formerly named Tengah Boulevard Bus Interchange, but Tengah residents disapproved the idea, so it was renamed to Tengah Bus Interchange. Similar instances happened in Bidadari and Punggol North, which were renamed to Woodleigh Bus Interchange and Punggol Coast Bus Interchange respectively.

Bus contracting model

edit

Under the new bus contracting model, Tengah Bus Interchange is under the Bulim Bus Package, operated by Tower Transit Singapore. All three bus services serving this interchange are operated under this bus package and operated under Tower Transit Singapore
