Buangkok Integrated Transport Hub (ITH) is an upcoming bus interchange located at Buangkok, currently under construction as part of the Sengkang Grand Mall development. The bus interchange is expected to be operational in Q3 2023, according to the mall’s website.
The interchange will be located next to Buangkok MRT Station, at 11 Sengkang Central, Singapore 544575.
Brief History
Plans for the interchange were first mooted as part of the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA)’s 2013 Draft Masterplan. Located in the heart of Buangkok neighbourhood, the interchange will be part of a mixed-use development envisioned as an integrated community hub to meet the needs of some 20,000 residents in Buangkok.
The proposed mixed-use development will have an integrated community and transport hub with a bus interchange on the first storey, a hawker centre on the second storey and a community club that spans across three storeys, alongside childcare centres and retail shops. Located adjacent to Buangkok MRT Station, the development will also be a transport node for the residents of Buangkok.
As the focal point and an identity marker for the Buangkok neighbourhood, the URA prioritized thoughtfully-designed public spaces which were well integrated with transport and community uses. A tender for the development of the land parcel was launched on 28 December 2017, and was awarded to Siena Residential Development Pte. Ltd. and Siena Trustee Pte. Ltd. (as Trustee-Manager of Siena Commercial Trust) at a tender price of S$777.78 million on 16 August 2018.
The Interchange
Based on the floor plans provided as part of the Sengkang Grand Residence development, Buangkok Bus Interchange would feature end-on berths with 19 parking lots.
The main vehicle ingress/egress leads to Sengkang Central, while a backup ingress/egress at the opposite end of the interchange led to Compassvale Bow, via the loading/unloading bay of Sengkang Grand Mall.
Probable
27 Buangkok ITH-Tampines/Airport
110 Buangkok ITH-Airport
114 Buangkok ITH-Hougang area
115 Buangkok ITH-Hougang St 21
2 new feeders…Just nice 6 svc with 19 parking lots…
Pretty clear cut you don’t live around that area.
27 – So residents along Ave 6 won’t have any bus services serving them? (Bus stop bet blk 544/546)? Demand is super strong during peak hours, with buses reaching that stop full to door as pax alighting at Baungkok MRT. Not needed for any amendments.
110 – ??? It’s serving compassvale bus interchange no problems. Why need for this useless amendment? 110 demands is mainly for airport sector. Go to airport from baungkok? Take 27 all the way or change at bef punggol road. Another useless suggestion.
114 – Most definitely remains as it is, but calling at the ITH for sure. More or less confirmed.
115 – What for again? 115 is doing the loops around ave 3 because it’s gonna duplicate NEL again, and there’s already services like 51/62/87/151 etc providing connectivity.
Most likely, the buses from the “Compassvale Interchange” might be transferred to this interchange like 110, 374. And also some buses like 102 or 89 to de-congest the Hougang interchange…
Most probably 110,114,115 with 2 new feeders.I guess 1-2 Sengkang service will be extended here and 374 will start from Sengkang instead.
According to the mall’s FAQ section, they mentioned that the bus interchange is expected to be operational in Q3 2023.
