The Facility
Construction of the Cross Island Line necessitated the clearing of the western portion of Hougang Central Bus Interchange, affecting around 19 bus lots. As a result, the Land Transport Authority made plans to relocate these bus parking lots to a nearby location.
On 31 January 2019, the civil engineering tender was published, under LTA Contract CR1088: Temporary Bus Parking and Driver Facility (TPDF), which was subsequently awarded to CCECC Singapore Pte Ltd. Construction began in late 2019 and was completed sometime in late 2021. The facility was also named Hougang Bus Park, as reflected by permanent signages mounted on the building facade.
Hougang Bus Park commenced parking buses from Hougang Central Int on 25 April 2022.

Public Access
Hougang Bus Park is not open to the general public and no scheduled bus services originate/terminate at the bus park. Should bus services from Hougang Ctrl Int be dispatched from Hougang Bus Park, buses will deadhead to Hougang Ctrl Int to pick up passengers.
The bus park was opened to the public on 9 & 10 September 2023 for the RSAF55 Open House held at Paya Lebar Air Base. The bus park was used as a boarding/alighting point for shuttle bus services.

Its going to be a reversed in bus park. I am wondering which buses will use this temporary parking lot….
IMO, should give to these services:
Svc 74, 112, 113, 147, 151, 324
(Last bus stop: Hougang Central; Hougang Central Bus Interchange)
(First bus stop: Hougang Central: Opp Hougang Central Bus Interchange)
Give short trunk and feeder better..Long trunk stays interchange.
Sure residents will complain about the noise and to make matter worse if the BCs horn for reversing
