Tengah Bus Interchange is an interim Bus Interchange with the Tengah New Town. It is bounded by Tengah Park Avenue, Tengah Boulevard, and the Parc Woods @ Tengah residential estate.
The interim bus interchange commenced operations on Sunday, 21 July 2024. This facility is not to be confused with the upcoming Tengah Integrated Transport Hub, which will be built at Tengah Town Centre, adjacent to Tengah MRT Station (Jurong Region Line).

Brief History
In December 2019, the construction tender for the bus interchange (Contract PT396 – Proposed Design and Construction of Bus Interchange and Associated Works at Tengah Boulevard) was put up by the Land Transport Authority. This contract was awarded to Tat Hin Builders Pte Ltd in October 2020. The location of the interchange was also indicated within Tengah town maps issued by the Housing and Development Board (HDB) in 2020.
Tengah Bus Interchange opened on Sunday, 21 July 2024. Bus Services 870 & 992, which were loop services, were extended to serve the new interchange and become bi-directional services. A new bus service, 871, was also introduced on the same day, connecting Tengah New Town with Bukit Gombak and Beauty World.
Tengah Bus Interchange has three alighting and six boarding berths, with vehicle access via a signalised intersection with Tengah Boulevard.
Future Plans
The interchange is likely to be an interim facility, as it is zoned for residential use under the URA Master Plan 2019. Another bus interchange is being built to serve Tengah New Town—Tengah Integrated Transport Hub—which is situated adjacent to Tengah MRT Station (Jurong Region Line) along Tengah Central.
In line with current LTA naming conventions, interim and/or temporary bus interchanges no longer carry the “Temporary” name.

i wish there was a bus service 873 because i live in caspian, and i want 873 from Tengah Int – Boon Lay Int via AYE, Clementi Ave 6 , Yuan Ching Rd, Kang Ching Rd, Tah Ching Rd, Boon Lay Way, Jurong West St 64, Jurong West Central 3. also i want it to stop at lakeside stn and opp lakeside stn
that would be redundant and Boon Lay Int has no space to add one more bus. At peak hour, it’s alrdy a mess in that interchange. Plus, Tengah to Boon Lay got mrt and anyth in between are alrdy mostly covered bus existing buses.
Petition to have a direct bus service from Tengah bus interchange to Changi Airport. Westies also need a direct service to the airport! Cant just be relying on grab or taxi to get there. Inflation has been driving prices up by alot.
yeah i wish 874 would do that from Tengah to Changi airport via Boon Lay Way, AYE, PIE Jurong Town Hall Rd, Kang Ching Rd, Tah Ching Rd and stop at lakeside stn and opp lakeside stn
@Angiras dont be ridiculous. If you’re going to do a service that plies from Tengah to Changi Airport, it doesnt make sense for it to loop around jurong town hall and then goes back to Taman Jurong and Lakeside. Service 49 can already do that job well.
This is good.
Make it from Tengah -> CCK Ave 3 (help alleviate 975 crowd) -> Lot 1 (if Tgh ppl need go town can take 190 or NSL or idk)-> KJE/BKE/SLE/TPE -> Jln Kayu -> Punggol Rd Bus stop -> Airport and back.
This route allows the northwest and northeast to have a direct route. Roll out bendies on this service. Number it as 878 hahaha coz 858 under TTS. Would be longest loop service replacing 858 I’d assume.
Better than the defunct 989 tbh. This one go thru PIE via Bukit Batok and Beauty World and then exit at Bedok Reservoir, skirting thru Tampines b4 gg Airport. Waste time.
Easties no need connection to Airport much since they have 24 (dup. the green line, Upper Changi), 27 (Tamp West), 34 (Tamp West/East), 53 (Pasir Ris) and EWL.
Northeast ppl also lucky since they got the lot of them (27, 34, 44, 110, 858) and upcoming CRL.
Westies connection to Airport is shit. Build CRL to alleviate/duplicate EWL but don’t go Tengah.
Saw training buses plying Jurong East Street 31 and 32 this morning. Looks like we will be getting DDs on service 872
Maybe 872 at berth B5
Good idea. What about berths B1 to B3? The BTOs around Tengah Park Avenue has yet to complete so it’ll be easier for commuters to access the first few berths.
Although am not a resident who stay at Tengah, there would definitely be residents going to the airport or probably accessing Toa Payoh for smooth transfers to nearby towns. There should be a bus service connecting Caldecott, Toa Payoh and Changi airport. With that, toa payoh residents will also get to Airport easier.
I wish that 451 could be extended to tengah bus interchange so that it will be more convenient.
