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.

Perhaps there will be a new service that goes to Ang Mo Kio from here via the new Buangkok Dr extension. It can serve Buangkok Green/Link/Cres and to YCK Road via Buangkok Dr, passing by schools around the Fernvale area, AMK Industrial Park 3 and YCK/AMK MRT, and possibly NYP via AMK Ave 8.
Ambitious and interesting idea, but you probably haven’t visited Ang Mo Kio Interchange in a while. There is no extra space. Not at all.
Lol yeah it’s just an idea to open up new connections that don’t currently exist which will likely have demand. Ang Mo Kio Interchange (and even Yio Chu Kang) has no more extra parking space for a new service, unfortunately.
Longer intertown routes are probably not possible anymore, so there is only so far that a new service will go from the Northeast nowadays.
Well, a possibility could be the extension of Service 86 to Buangkok Int, via Compassvale Dr and Sengkang Ctrl. Connects Buangkok/Sengkang via TPE to Yio Chu Kang/Ang Mo Kio. No big changes to the route. And you’ll get to see the new BYD BC12A04s in the newest bus interchange too.
Isn’t that brilliant?
So any service guides ?
Unfortunately not i went there and they only have the interchange introduction brochure. I asked the staff as well and they said they dont have
Why is everyone saying to extend 115 to Buangkok or Hougang? It’s like saying extending 410G/W to Ang Mo Kio, ruining the whole circle. 115 is circular, changing the route completely.
410 are feeders not trunk like 115.Do you want to ruin the 26x series for 410?
No it doesn’t???? 115, even if it was circular, can still be extended to Buangkok, how it gets to Buangkok is another qn, but given that 115 is a **UNIdirectional** circle, and not a **BIdirectional** cicle like 410G/W, 115 is suited for being extended to buangkok as a result.
Ain’t bus route 146 gonna be extended to Buangkok bus interchange??
dear sir,
146 goes to woodleigh, not buangkok
I use google my map and realise that it is possible for service 146 to serve from Woodleigh to Buangkok via Hougang Ave 3.
for now, its unlikely. the first amendment for 146 will only be loop at Kovan MRT (so im told)
