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.

110,114 confirmed not sure about 156 and 965 though but 115 should also start from here and loop at Hougang St 21.Should introduce a new feeder service too.
156 confirmed. Poster is out.
Any idea when going to open ?
By right TOP is End Oct. Announcement should come very soon
163 might also be amended
hope not, it does provide a good link between the east and west lrt loops without having to go to STC
Confirmed liao, 110 was recently spotted with “Buangkok Interchange” EDS. Somebody code the info in too early.
114, 156 and 965 have also been confirmed to be amended to Buangkok.
Other services not yet. 83 is most likely not extending due to extremely high demand from Sengkang.
Do you have a source for the confirmation of 114, 156 and 965 since it hasn’t been announced officially yet?
you got right with 114 & 156 amending here but not for 965
To be honest i feel that 110, 114 and 115 can be shifted to this bus interchange. As Compassvale Bus Int is near Sengkang Int, SBS Transit should share the interchange to fully utilize the space at Compassvale and Sengkang. Bus 965 is also another issue ( like another person mentioned ) as it takes a really big loop at Sengkang for no apparent reason i guess before heading to the expressway. So, 965 should go to Buangkok Bus Interchange. Thank you for your kind attention
