Bidadari Bus Interchange is a future Integrated Transport Hub (ITH) located at Bidadari, serving residential areas around Bidadari, Joo Seng and Potong Pasir.
The interchange is the first air-conditioned underground bus interchange beneath public housing flats, integrated within Woodleigh Village and seamlessly connected to Woodleigh MRT Station via an underground link. Amenities at Woodleigh Village include a Hawker Centre, Childcare Centre as well as a Resident’s Committee Centre. Situated on top of the Bus Interchange are 360 Housing & Development Board (HDB) Build-To-Order (BTO) flats as part of the Woodleigh Village mixed use development.
Plans for the interchange were confirmed in September 2014 and was expected to be ready by Year 2019.

The Interchange:
Bidadari Integrated Transport Hub is a bus interchange located in the residential town of Bidadari. Connecting with Woodleigh MRT Station along the North East MRT Line, the interchange is a transport node for commuters heading in and out of town, allowing for convenient transfers between the rail network and the many bus services at the interchange.
The interchange site is bordered by Upper Serangoon Road to the west; Woodleigh Link to the north; Bidadari Park Drive to the east; and Heritage Walk (former Upper Aljunied Road) to the south.
Slated for completion in 2019 (delayed), Bidadari Bus Interchange will be one of the newest Integrated Transport Hub (ITH) to be opened in Singapore, after Toa Payoh in May 2002, Sengkang in Jan 2003, Ang Mo Kio in Apr 2007, Boon Lay in Dec 2009, Serangoon in Sep 2011, Clementi in Nov 2011, Bedok in Nov 2014, Joo Koon in Nov 2015 and Bukit Panjang in 2017. The interchange is integrated within the Woodleigh Village development, with several retail shops, a Hawker Centre and HDB BTO Flats, hence combining retail, residential and transportation facilities under one roof.
Located at Basement 2 of Woodleigh Village, it is the first underground air-conditioned bus interchange below Housing Board Flats in Singapore.
The interchange has a single vehicular concourse area with a bus park in the middle, with 15 rigid bus lots and 3 bendy bus lots. Vehicles and exit enter the interchange via an ingress & egress along Bidadari Park Drive.
The passenger concourse features three sawtooth boarding berths and an alighting berth with space for 2 buses. Pedestrian entrance/exits are located within the interchange, leading to Woodleigh Village and Woodleigh MRT Station. One boarding berth and one alighting berth in the interchange is dedicated for bendy-bus operations, featuring an 18m long bus bay.
Future
An underpass is expected to be constructed to link Bidadari Bus Interchange with The Woodleigh Residences & The Woodleigh Mall, which form a mixed commercial and residential development integrated with community club and neighbourhood police centre to the south of Woodleigh Village. Both developments will be connected to Woodleigh MRT Station via an underground link.

Back to Bus Interchanges and Terminals
Since we are talking about the controversy of Express 506 terminating point to Serangoon Interchange. Are we thinking that one service from Serangoon Interchange will start from this ITH? I got the feeling that it is Service 105 instead of Service 100.
So IMO, here are the bus services that will terminate at this ITH:
Service 71: Yio Chu Kang Interchange – Bidadari ITH
Service 105: Bidadari ITH – Jurong East Interchange
Service 107: Bidadari ITH – Shenton Way Terminal/Marina Centre (Loop)
Service 142: Toa Payoh Interchange – Bidadari ITH (Loop)
I think this ITH will not have any Feeder Service.
11 bus service for 18 parking lots ITH?You are candidate to work for LTA.Maybe some of Bishan service will start here.At most i think only 6-7 service
So Here are some of My Opinions about this ITH :
Maybe a Few Feeders Serving Residents at Bartley will help. Maybe a Few Trunks & 1 Express Bus that’s brings residents living at Bidadari to the Central District will help as well so that a lot of people do not have to take 107 to go to CBD. For Bus Service 81 , Maybe Possible For it’s Route to amend to Bidadari but hers’s the Thing. When You Take a Look at Service 81’s Route , It kind of stretches a long Route Along Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) & Tampines Expressway (TPE). So For Instance you are a New Resident at Bidadari and your Work area is at Tampines , There is No Point in Taking Service 81 Because You Have to Pass By so Many Places & and Possibly it will take you more than 45 Minutes. Might as well You Walk All The Way to Bartley Rd and Take Service 129 which is Much Faster as it is Plying The Bartley Rd & Bartley Rd East Sector but still the Walking distance will affect you quite A lot. So The Best Will Be Have a Service that goes from Bidadari to Tampines via Serangoon , Woodleigh ; To Serve Residents there as well , Bartley , Bartley Rd East & Tampines. For Service 53/M , Maybe 53M will be Amended Because it is an Airport Service and A lot of People are Taking This Service. As The Crowd Usually Starts at Serangoon Stn Exit C/Blk 201 , Maybe Service 53M could be Amended to Bidadari ITH and Ply its Way to Changi Airport or Service 53M can Start at Where The Crowd would Start and Loop at Changi Airport while Service 53 can Just Relax and Ply it’s Route From Bidadari to Changi Airport as a Loop Service. There is a Few Reasons Why This Could Happen. 1st Reason is Because Bidadari is near Serangoon. 2nd Reason is Because as The Crowd starts at Serangoon Stn Exit C/Blk 201 likewise , it makes sense that Service 53 should start at Bidadari so That The Route is Shorter and People can get to their Destination Faster. For Service 71 , I Feel Like There is no Point Because Service 71 Ply’s its Route from Yio Chu Kang to Bishan St 11. But , a New Service , 71M , could actually Be a Helping Service to Service 53/M. By Implementing a New Service called 71M , Service 53 could be Amended to Bidadari ITH and Then Service 71M could Cover 53’s Route from Bishan Int to Serangoon as a Loop Service so That Frequented Residents Who Take Service 71 will not Complain about The Amendment of Service 71.
