Bidadari Bus Interchange
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.

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.
Slated for completion in 2019, 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 a 18m long bus bay.
Future
An underpass is expected to be constructed to link Bidadari Bus Interchange with Woodleigh Residences, a future mixed commercial and residential development integrated with community club and neighbourhood police centre to the south of Woodleigh Village.

Back to Bus Interchanges and Terminals
Here is my idea:
Service 113 can be extended after Lorong Ah Soo To Bidadari, via Upper Paya Lebar Road and Upper Serangoon Road to Bidadari Interchange (Hougang- Bidadari)
Service 81 and 82 can be extended to Bidadari via Serangoon Ctrl, Avenue 1 and future road under construction near Bartley Road (Tampines- Bidadari) (Punggol-Bidadari)
Service 142 can be extended to loop at Bidadari to link commuters to amenities and transport connections between Bidadari estate and Potong Pasir/Toa Payoh new town
100 can be shortened to Bidadari due to duplication by service 113 and other services that duplicate routes between them
And most prob some new routes between Bidadari- Jurong East and Bidadari- Changi Business Park where future industries and technology hub is booming for employment opportunities at these places
