A new Integrated Transport Hub (ITH) is planned for Tampines Central and will be built in the future. It is currently in the planning stage.
Draft Master Plan 2025
In October 2024, plans for the Upcoming Developments for Our Business Nodes as part of the Draft Master Plan 2025 were released by the Urban Redevelopment Authority. In these plans, local business nodes such as Tampines will be refreshed and progressively built up, with plans to introduce new mixed-use developments, public spaces and improve pedestrian connectivity.
This includes new mixed-use developments with residences, commercial spaces and an integrated transport hub, as well as implementing sheltered, seamless pedestrian connectivity for workers, visitors and residents, including enhancing pedestrian connectivity to the MRT stations and future public transport nodes.
Tampines 5-Year Masterplan
As part of the launch of the Tampines 5-Year Masterplan (2025-2030), plans for an ITH at Tampines are being studied.

Back to Bus Interchanges and Terminals
This might be the plan to construct the interchange:
1. Expand Tampines Concourse Interchange to fit more berths and parking spaces
2. Relocate all bus services from the old Tampines interchange to the expanded Tampines Concourse Interchange, renamed Tampines Interchange (as LTA does not want to put the word “Temporary” at the start of interim bus interchange names)
3. Demolish the old Tampines Interchange and build the new Tampines Central ITH in its place
4. Once complete, relocate all bus services (including 39) to the ITH, which has more berths and parking spaces than the old interchange
5. Demolish the temporary interchange
6. And there you have it, Tampines Central ITH
Add a high speed rail link direct to the city above it. 5mins to Airport, 15mins to Marina Bay, 25mins to Jurong!
