The Interchange:
Plans for an ITH at Pasir Ris Central were initially surfaced in URA’s Draft Master Plan 2013. In 2017, the HDB-led Remaking Our Heartland initiative announced renewal plans for the town, including the construction of a mixed-use development on the west side of the existing Pasir Ris MRT station, which would include an ITH to replace the existing Pasir Ris Bus Interchange.
The site was tendered out via GLS in late 2018, and awarded by HDB in March 2019. The development, now called Pasir Ris 8, comprises a two-storey retail mall (Pasir Ris Mall), a 487-unit condominium with 7 blocks (Pasir Ris 8), along with a town plaza, bus interchange, polyclinic, and childcare facilities.
The interchange site is bordered by Pasir Ris Drive 3 to the north; Pasir Ris Drive 8 to the west; Pasir Ris EWL station to the east; and Pasir Ris Central to the south.
Based on available diagrams, vehicle ingress/egress routes at Pasir Ris ITH are via a signalised junction along Pasir Ris Drive 3, with backup access along Pasir Ris Drive 8. A dedicated MINDEF bus pick-up and drop-off (PUDO) point will be built north of the existing EWL station, beneath the rail viaducts.
The access route for most commuters would be via a through-block link connecting Pasir Ris ITH with Pasir Ris MRT Exit B (EWL). An underground link will also be built at Basement 2, connecting to the underground CRL station.
Originally targeted for completion in 2028 (as per LTA 2021 Press Release), the new Pasir Ris ITH will take over the existing Pasir Ris Bus Interchange, which sits on land earmarked for future development. The future Cross Island Line (Phase 1, Aviation Park–Bright Hill) is projected to open in 2030, with a further extension to Punggol due to open in 2032.
At the official launch of Pasir Ris Mall on 22 July 2024, the revised opening year for Pasir Ris ITH was announced to be in 2025, 3 years earlier than the initial estimated completion year of “around 2028” provided by LTA back in Jun 2021.
The interchange would open “in the coming months” as of March 2025, as mentioned by Transport Minister Mr Chee Hong Tat during the Committee of Supply Debate 2025. The interchange opened on 27 April 2025.

There were plans to outfit Pasir Ris ITH with electric bus charging infrastructure under Contract BD401 to support new electric buses procured in March 2023, which called for chargers to be installed at bus depots and ITHs. However, the tender concluded with no ITHs selected for charger installation.
Pasir Ris ITH is built with provisions for an Electric Vehicle Charging System with 6 dispensers supported by 2 power cabinets, each rated at 360kW.

Apart from walking in aircon, everything else is worse with thos design. Examples:
1. Distances from arrival bay to departure berths significantly longer. Worst is if you are travelling east on 3, 5, 6, 354, and 58 to tampines/north bedok. The U design great for bus, terrible for customers.
2. Walk to/from mrt longer if taking sheltered path.
3. Sheltered Bicycle parking a lot further from mrt and from departure berths. The basement slots consumes time and distance.
Improvements:
Make it possible to cross from Arrivals to distant berths for bus 3,5,6, 354
Shelter the short cut between mrt and hub entrances
Better than Bedok or Yishun..
