Chencharu Bus Interchange is an upcoming bus interchange located at Chencharu, serving a new housing area within Yishun town for which plans were mentioned by Minister for National Development Mr Desmond Lee during the Committee of Supply debate on 5 March 2024.
The masterplan for Chencharu, which first announced this upcoming Bus Interchange, was unveiled by HDB on 12 June 2024.
Location
Chencharu bus interchange will be located within a mixed-use commercial and residential development with a hawker centre. This mixed-use development would be bounded by Chencharu Link, a bus-only corridor to the west and Yishun Walk to the south.
Vehicular access to the bus interchange will be via Chencharu Link.
In September 2025, the land parcel was awarded to Evia MCS Pte. Ltd., Gamuda (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. and H108 Pte. Ltd. by HDB.

Back to Bus Interchanges and Terminals
861, New svc 862,Feeders 805 807 811 should start here… In fact 851 and 852 should just ends here. 805 807 811 deploy 8 bendy buses among it, 804 806 use bendy, 2 units from Seletar and 3 units from GB for Sembawang-Yishun.
I propose a new long-distance route for Chencharu Interchange, which would increase connectivity in the North-East.
Service 862
Chencharu Interchange – Tampines North Interchange
Direction 1:
Chencharu Interchange, Chencharu Link, Bah Soon Pah Road, Yishun Ring Road, Yishun Street 41, Miltonia Close, Yishun Avenue 10, Yishun Street 43, Yishun Avenue 1, Seletar West Link, Seletar North Link, Punggol North Avenue, Punggol Way, New Punggol Road, Punggol Coast Road, Punggol East, Punggol North Avenue, Pasir Ris Road (Extended according to Masterplan), Pasir Ris Drive 10, Pasir Ris Drive 3, Pasir Ris Drive 8, Tampines Avenue 12, Tampines North Drive 2, Tampines Street 62, Tampines North Interchange
Direction 2:
Tampines North Interchange, Tampines Street 62, Tampines North Drive 2, Tampines Avenue 12, Pasir Ris Drive 8, Pasir Ris Drive 3, Pasir Ris Drive 10, Pasir Ris Road (Extended according to Masterplan), Punggol North Avenue, Punggol East, Punggol Coast Road, New Punggol Road, Punggol Way, Punggol North Avenue, Seletar North Link, Seletar West Link, Yishun Avenue 1, Yishun Street 43, Yishun Avenue 10, Miltonia Close, Yishun Street 41, Yishun Ring Road, Bah Soon Pah Road, Chencharu Link, Chencharu Interchange
Since some roads along this service’s routing as well as Chencharu Interchange have not been constructed yet, Service 862 can use an interim routing. In between Pasir Ris and Punggol Coast, it can use Pasir Ris Drive 3, Pasir Ris Drive 12, Pasir Ris Industrial Drive 1, Punggol Central, Punggol East, Punggol North Avenue and New Punggol Road, and it can use Yishun Avenue 1 temporarily to skip Yishun Street 43, Yishun Avenue 10 and Miltonia Close. It could also terminate at the Khatib Station Exit D bus stops, with drivers proceeding to either Yishun Interchange or Mandai Depot for meal breaks.
This service would increase connectivity in between Yishun, Punggol Coast, Pasir Ris and Tampines, with individual sectors in between towns which no service currently runs, while also providing inter-town connections to new housing estates. This service would provide a quick link in between Yishun and Punggol Coast via Seletar North Link, and form a direct link in between Tampines North, Pasir Ris/Elias and Punggol Coast, which would complement to Cross Island Line by bridging the missing links and moving people from neighborhoods to Cross Island Line stations.
Feel free to share any opinions! 🙂
I prefer Chencaru under Seletar once Ang Mo Kio depot is completed. Sembawang-Yishun can focus on Yishun and Sembawang with preference on new bus terminal or smaller int at Canberra or Simpang area. All Yishun feeders, 450,851,851e and 852 under Sembawang-Yishun. All Woodlands 169,963, 963e,965,966 and 969 transfer to Woodlands package and take over Mandai Depot instead.
For 861 starting at Chencaru, It will be under Seletar instead. Introduce two feeder svc from Chencaru.
