- 1 bus stop along Tengah Central near Garden Bloom
(interim stop added from 27 Sep 2026) - 1 bus stop along Tengah Drive near Copen Grand

Back to Bus Services
It would be worth considering whether 831 G/W, together with any future feeder services serving Tengah, could operate entirely within Tengah.
For 831 G/W, the current routing via Tengah Park Avenue and Bukit Batok Road could instead be replaced by Tengah Boulevard and Plantation Crescent. The north-western section could also be routed via Tengah Garden Walk and Tengah Park Avenue to connect with Tengah Bus Interchange.
This would allow 831 G/W to operate as a genuinely 100% Tengah feeder service. The same principle could be applied to future feeder services, where practicable, keeping them within Tengah rather than extending onto external roads.
There are practical operational benefits to this approach. Avoiding external roads, particularly Bukit Batok Road, would reduce the feeders’ exposure to traffic conditions outside Tengah. Their reliability and operating consistency could instead depend primarily on Tengah’s purpose-built road network, which was planned and modelled as part of the town’s development.
Keeping the feeder routes within Tengah could also provide greater flexibility for future service planning and rationalisation. As Tengah’s population and travel patterns mature, services could be adjusted around internal travel demand and interchange requirements without unnecessarily relying on external road corridors.
In the longer term, the opening of Tengah Bus Depot could provide greater scope for these feeder services to be operated and maintained within Tengah itself. This could support a more coherent operating structure and provide a consistent framework for planning future feeder services.
Where operationally practicable, future feeder services serving Tengah should therefore be considered with the objective of remaining entirely within the town. Over time, this could establish a distinctive and self-contained feeder network that makes full use of Tengah’s purpose-built urban and transport infrastructure.
I also think that bus service 831G/831W to go to plantation close. These stops are:
Blk 105B
Blk 100A
Blk 102A
But bus service 872 will not go to plantation close.
