The Interchange:
Clementi Bus Interchange is a bus station located in the residential town of Clementi. Connecting with Clementi MRT station along the East West MRT Line, the interchange is a transport node for commuters heading in and out of town, allowing for convenient transfers between the rail network and the many bus services at the interchange.
Opened in November 2011, Clementi Bus Interchange was the sixth Integrated Transport Hub (ITH) to be opened in Singapore. The interchange is integrated within the Clementi Mall (shopping centre) and the HDB Clementi Towers residential flats, hence combining retail, residential and transportation facilities under one roof.
The interchange has a single vehicular concourse area with a bus park in the middle. The vehiclar ingress is located along Clementi Avenue 3, and a separate egress leads to a signalised traffic junction with Clementi Avenue 3.
The passenger concourse features five sawtooth boarding berths and a linear alighting berth (with space for 3 buses). Pedestrian entrance/exits lead to both Clementi Mall and the outside of the building.
Historical Background
- 1980: Clementi Int opens
- 2006: Moved to temporary interchange
- 2011: Moved to new Clementi Interchange ITH
Before Clementi Interchange came about, a roadside bus terminal along Clementi Ave 3 was first established in November 1977.
On 16 November 1980, Clementi Bus Interchange was first opened along Clementi Ave 3. Prior to the construction of Jurong East Bus Interchange in 1985, this interchange handled many routes heading to Jurong East and was frequently overcrowded and operating over-capacity. Things would improve later on with the addition of more trunk and feeder bus routes, such as the introduction of feeder service 287 to serve West Coast.
On 29 October 2006, bus operations were moved to Clementi Temporary Bus Interchange across the road, at 3161 Commonwealth Ave West. The old interchange was demolished to make way for a new Integrated Transport Hub (ITH) that would combine a shopping mall and residential block into a single development. As a result of construction delays, the temporary interchange remained in operation for five years, a particularly long time for a temporary bus facility.
On 26 November 2011, the new Clementi Integrated Transport Hub opened. The interchange is an integrated development consisting of Clementi Mall and two blocks of HDB flats collectively called Clementi Towers (Blk 441A and 441B). It is the sixth air-conditioned bus interchange to be built, and the second along the East West Line after Boon Lay.

Feeder bus services:
Clementi Interchange started off with three feeder services, Service 282 (Clementi Avenue 5), Service 284 (Clementi Avenue 4) and Service 285 (Pandan loop). Service 287 was later introduced to Clementi West Street 2, but was withdrawn in 1988 and integrated with Service 282.
Service 284M was introduced in 2009 as an extension of Service 284 which operated during off-peak hours. It brought direct bus connections from Clementi Avenue 4 to Clementi Polyclinic and Clementi MRT before returning to Clementi Temp Int, and was withdrawn with the opening of the new Clementi Interchange.

Might well TTS take over whole Clementi Package in next tender, SBST suck, bad bus planning and service level.
96, 282, 284 and 285 should be given to Clementi Bus Package. 984 should be handed over to CCK-BPJ Bus Package, and 172 should be transferred to Jurong West Bus Package. This would give Bulim 34 services, CCK-BPJ 30 services and JW 27 services.
