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).
Tengah Bus Interchange serves Bus Services 870, 871, and 992.

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 870Â & 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).
In line with current LTA naming conventions, interim and/or temporary bus interchanges no longer carry the “Temporary” name.

Bus service 174 hopefully Tengah Bus Interchange to Kampong Bahru Bus Terminal when Jurong Region Line Stage One opens.
Nonsenical suggestion. Such amendments will not be welcomed by Jurong West/ Boon Lay commuters as they will lose a direct and faster bus link to Orchard/City area as well as a faster link between Boon Lay and Bukit Batok.
Hi LTA/MP Amy
Why why the why have you not replied us?
Please update us on the development plans so that we TENGAHan are inform of the progress thank you
This page is not run by LTA or Amy Khor, they’re not going to read your comments here. Write your feedback to LTA directly.
Hi LTA/MP Amy
As the Tengah Garden District is going to hold the Roadshow to mark down the 1st batch of its owner to collect keys to be the real residents at Garden Vale@Tengah and Garden Vines@Tengah in end April 2024, have your team working closely with LTA to complete the Tengah Drive as well as SBS/Tower Transit to get more buses.
1. LTA matter:
a. Complete Tengah Drive for access to both Garden Vale and Garden Vines, which currently was disconnected at the junction of Tengah Boulevard.
b. Secondary road from Plantation Crescent to Tengah Garden Walk, which currently the Plantation Crescent is providing the u-turn at the Tengah Garden Walk only
***with this current plan, none of the Garden District residents is able to drive into the Estate which is scheduled to be open in May 2024.
c. Bus Stand is still ongoing installation work but this has to work closely with LTA and Bus Operator in advance, to avoid last year’s incident to be repeated and show no improvement from the government after so many passed examples.
2. Bus Operator matters
a. Thanks for having 870 to route toward Tengah Boulevard which had helped the residents of Plantation Village last December 2023. However, this Bus Stand located at block 231B which is more than 500m away from 228A and is too far for those moving into Garden Vines 238A.
b. Till date, we do not see the provisions of Rain Shelter or Covered Linkway from this Bus Stand toward any of the Garden District Estate. These may cos major issues to those with kids, elderly or wheels.
c. Understand that Amy had helped to increase the bus frequency but yet with additional of two(2) new Estates of total 4 Blocks, it is time for your team to get more buses to be on board to Tengah before end May 2024.
d. With the current 870 to Jurong East and 992 to Bukit Batok which may also jamming at JE MRT Station… do your team review the need of BUS toward CCK and Boon Lay to balance of the crown at JE MRT Station as well as allow the residents to be able to source their amenities from more areas.
As part of the TENGAHan that will be join the coming roadshow, I hope Amy KHOR able to announce the confirm good news at the event to let’s us have a smooth moving in progress.

Here are my ideas for bus services in Tengah Int:
171: Extend to Tengah via Teck Whye
Ave, CCK Ave 1,6. [Yishun – Tengah]
172: Amend to serve Brickland Rd from Boon Lay. [Boon Lay – Tengah]
173: Extend to Tengah and to Ghim Moh. 992 withdrawn, lost sectors served by 173.
[Tengah – Ghim Moh]
184: Extend to Tengah from Bukit Panjang, extend to HarbourFront to cover NUS & Pasir Panjang.
[Tengah – HarbourFront]
506: Must be done!
[Tengah – Woodleigh]
870: Not expected to be withdrawn due to great coverage of BB West to Tengah/JE. Amend to serve greater areas of Jurong East.
[Jurong East – Tengah].
Feeder services with 34x numbering.
-WLTransit 100 (YT)
I dont think the 172 amendment is a good idea, especially for students. 172 is commonly used by westwood and RVHS students who live in cck. The Lot1-Sunshine place sector also popular, shorter than the 991 route.
