what if this interchange was an extension to amk int, since both are found in ang mo kio estate. If thats the case:
– shift services 22, 45, 73, 265, 268 here
– shift service 162 to amk int
– 265 no longer goes to amk int like 268
Random ideas for Yio Chu Kang Int that should work:
1. Construct bus park north of boarding berths, increasing interchange capacity.
2. Amend 45 & 268 to YCKBI. 268 will not serve AMK St 64 Industrial.
3. Convert 265 to Dual-Loop Feeder (Ang Mo Kio ↺ AMK Ave 10/St 62), replacing 268 deleted sectors.
4. Extend 169 to YCK via AMK Ave 8. Commuters from AMK MRT can board at pair of bus stops outside AMKBI. This is due to:
– 169 has lowest frequency of all trunks at AMKBI. Waiting at outdoor bus stops will be less troubling.
– 169 is TTS, which is already an operator at YCKBI.
– Free up AMKBI bus park space for 265 (which is by the egress).
The current Site where Yio Chu Kang Bus Interchange Sits on the future Yio Chu Kang integrated community hub, hinting of a future ITH which see Yio Chu Kang having an air-conditioned bus interchange in the future.

45,265 & 268 should start here and 162 should extend to Sembawang Int and change to Sembawang-Yishun in exchange for 825.
