Further Bus Service Developments in Pasir Ris (2016 – Present)
In 2016, Go-Ahead Singapore took over as the anchor operator of Pasir Ris Bus Interchange, after clinching the contract for the Loyang Bus Package a year prior. All but 4 bus services operating out of the interchange are transferred to the new operator in September of that year.
The former Pasir Ris Bus Interchange was reconfigured in 2021, combining the eastern wing of the original bus interchange with a relocated passenger concourse consisting of end-on boarding berths, as the western section of the interchange was slated to make way for the Pasir Ris Rail Turnback and the new Pasir Ris Mall.
In 2025, the former interchange was officially relocated to an air-conditioned facility located within the new Pasir Ris Mall as Singapore’s 14th Integrated Transport Hub (ITH).
