Buangkok Bus Interchange

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.

      43 doesn’t look like it will be affected from rationalisation.

      if `101 extends to Buangkok ITH what is the reason of keeping 114 there if 101 will duplicates the entire route of service 114

      the rest of the services are fine but maybe we could add service 159 since they are 2-3 services serving from Sengkang to Toa Payoh. 156 still stays at Sengkang ITH, replacing sectors of 159

      Service 83-Buangkok ITH to Punggol INT/MRT(Loop)
      Service 101- Buangkok ITH to Serangoon ITH
      Service 110- Buangkok ITH to Changi Airport(Loop)
      Service 114- possibly withdrawn, sectors replaced by 101
      Service 159- Buangkok ITH to Toa Payoh ITH
      Service 374- Buangkok ITH to Fernvale Road(Loop)

      Compassvale INT would not have any services since 110 & 374 will extend to Buangkok IHT
      New Services at Compassvale INT:
      Service 176- Compassvale INT to Jurong East INT, passing via TPE/SLE, Springleaf, Mandai, Woodlands Rd, Upp Bukit Timah, Hillview & Bukit Batok, the purpose of 176’s extension to Sengkang is to connect workers who stay in Sengkang to get to their workplace in Mandai & Woodlands Road, the lost sectors will be covered by service 5`1
      Service 80- Compassvale INT to Harbourfront INT, Using 80’s original route via Hougang, Paya Lebar & CBD

      New service 997 could also be launched with the opening of Buangkok ITH, passing from Bukit Batok int To Sengkang ITH Via Hillview Rgency condo, Jurong Kechil, PIE, Thomson, Bishan, Ang Mo Kio & Buangkok Green

      997 will connect a direct link from Sengkang to Beauty World/Bukit Batok
      997 will also ply a faster route from Sengkang to Bukit Batok (other than 176 extension)

      replacements of deleted sectors:
      service 51- Replacing sectors of service 176 from Jurong East to Labrador Park MRT
      Services 120/273- replacing 176 sectors from Bukit Merah to Telok Blangah Road
      Services 156/997- replacing sectors of 159 from Buangkok Green to Sengkang ITH

        URA master plan states the existing land at compassvale bus interchange is now a reserved site.

        So I am actually like convinced what that guy said might be true, compassvale be demolished, like BULIM and LYDEP (Sungei serangoon depot) in the future.

        As it is almost 99.9% certainty 110 will be part of sengkang-hougang package, but is currently holding off transfer because of HGDEP overcrowding (resulting in 1835-1837, 1845, 6389 returns to storage amidst poor condition).

        114 to spring leaf is also plausible because there’s no existing connection from North East, which is why 101 could be extended.

        He indeed sound convincing, but best to await confirmation. Progress check so far, the infrastructure seems completed already. Left the opening of the middle section of the road for vehicles turning right.

        I doubt 374 would be moved to Buangkok rather than Sengkang
