Buangkok is the twelfth (12th) ITH to open in Singapore. Rail connections are offered via the adjacent Buangkok MRT Station along the North East Line, allowing for convenient transfers between bus services and the rail network.
Interchange Layout
Buangkok Bus Interchange contains 19 end-on parking lots arranged into 7 end-on berths.
The ITH is also the first to be designed only with end-on berths, as opposed to the more common sawtooth berth design. Toa Payoh and Boon Lay are the only other ITHs employing a mix of end-on and sawtooth berths, while HarbourFront and Saint Michael’s are the only other bus interchanges/terminals designed with exclusive use of end-on berths.
Vehicles enter/exit the interchange via a signalised T-junction with Sengkang Central. For emergencies, a backup vehicle access gate leads to the loading/unloading bay of Sengkang Grand Mall, which is accessed via Compassvale Bow.

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 the Buangkok neighbourhood and adjacent to Buangkok MRT Station, the interchange would be integrated within a mixed-use development envisioned as an integrated community and transport hub to meet the needs of some 20,000 residents in Buangkok.
The proposed mixed-use development would integrate a bus interchange, a hawker centre (Buangkok Hawker Centre) and a 3-storey community club (Buangkok Community Club), alongside a childcare centre and retail spaces. 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. A condominium development (Sengkang Grand Residences) would be built atop the retail/community/bus interchange components, comprising 680 residential units across 9 blocks.
Sengkang Grand Mall opened in March 2023, with the other amenities and residential apartments gradually opening thereafter.

Looking through this space and area can also put a service to jurong east serve through hougang sengkang punggol all this to complement and follow 51 route for passengers to have a option as service 51 is always crowded throughout the whole day and also to let all bus drivers in Singapore de have more rest time at the interchange and also can put one/two more bus service to woodlands/clementi/bishan to ease and help svc 156/965/50/88 which ply through sengkang/punggol/punggol road for passengers to have a option
Looking at the size can put one or 2 buses to this new buangkok interchange as a route to CBD and suntec area which can connect through sengkang punggol resident to have a direct bus service to CBD suntec marina area like marina south pier and marina bay cruise center
101 can be extended to Buangkok Interchange via the new Buangkok Drive road once the road is completed.
Service 883 can be extended from looping at Yishun to Buangkok through Yishun Avenue 2, Lentor Avenue, SLE/TPE Jalan Kayu and the whole stretch of Buangkok Drive from there to support the developments at the same time complementing service 858 along the stretch between Yishun and Jalan Kayu
110 can be extended to Buangkok to improve ridership between Buangkok, Sengkang Central and Airport
84 can start from Buangkok to improve ridership and connecting more residents to Punggol End
Probably a new route between Punggol and Buangkok via Punggol West and Sengkang West areas to bring intra town connectivity to the amenities between the estates
I hope there can be a bigger interchange here. Sengkang ITH was a failure.
Looking at the size is almost like BPJ…Maybe service 27 starts from there..
Service 27 already started at Hougang Central though…… 27 can stop at Buangkok MRT.
Hopefully can extend service 101 to Buangkok Bus Interchange through the Future Buangkok Drive Extension-Buangkok Link.
That’s the most likely to happen.
