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.

Can have bus number svc 136 also transfer to Buangkok bus interchange from punggol bus interchange and Svc 136 if want handover back to sbstransit from Go Ahead Singapore by 2022
Leave 136 the route way it is, later students and residents will complain if 136 got shortened. It’s still useful for residents and students who uses 136 almost everyday. So leave 136 as AMK – Punggol.
Based on floorplans and schematics, it will be the first air-conditioned interchange with fully end-on berths.
Svc 62 Buangkok-Sims then Svc 62 if want handover back to Sbstransit from Go Ahead Singapore
hello, if you shorten Service 62 to Buangkok, later how will benefit residents from Punggol/Sengkang? Surely they will complain one. Service 62 leave it the way it is.
My guess for Serivce to terminate here is
Svc 62
Svc 101
New Svc 375
New Svc 376
Buangkok woods – hope to have nearer busstop … elderly need to walk so far
Along buangkok drive extension road and buangkok link ….
I think it’s redundant to have bus stops so close to another..Journer time will be added and more fuel cost meaning fare will keep on increase..Why are we so jelly and strawberry?Last time bus stops so far and bus frequency very low but we also live healthy and happy.Now demand here and there until Govt decide to increase everything..Cmon SG so small what do you expect?The distance of bus stops is already the best in South East Asia
