Buangkok Integrated Transport Hub (ITH) is an upcoming Bus Interchange located at Buangkok, currently under construction as part of an integrated community hub which is targeted for completion in the first half of 2022. The interchange will be located next to Buangkok MRT Station.
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.
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.

I already know…
…that bus 114 will terminate here next time
then Svc 136 Buangkok-Ang Mo Kio
If you shorten 136 to Buangkok, later students and residents from Sengkang and Punggol will complain.
136 can shorten to loop @ Serangoon Gardens instead.
