Tengah Bus Depot

Tengah Bus Depot is an upcoming bus depot located in Tengah, co-located with Tengah MRT Depot serving the Jurong Region Line as part of the Tengah Integrated Depot. It is scheduled to be completed by around 2026.

Tengah Bus Depot is an upcoming multi-storey bus depot. The depot is envisioned as an integrated rail and bus depot in the Tengah region (Tengah Integrated Depot) which also serves the Jurong Region Line (JRL). The rail and bus depots are co-located to optimise land use and streamline construction processes.

The depot is intended to accommodate additional buses that are being introduced over the years, as the overall bus capacity increases under the Bus Contracting Model (BCM).  The multi-story depot is designed for handling roughly 600 buses and will be equipped with a Bus Operations Control Centre, parking spaces, refuelling and washing facilities, repair and maintenance facilities, and administrative offices to support day-to-day bus operations.

When completed, Tengah Bus Depot will join other multi-storey bus depots in Singapore such as East Coast Bus Depot, Sengkang West Bus Depot, Woodlands Bus Depot, and Soon Lee Bus Depot. To optimise land use, the depot will also include a four-storey transport workers’ dormitory that can accommodate 450 bus captains.

The dormitory is expected to be located at 5 Tengah Close, Singapore 699853.
