Sengkang Bus Interchange is a bus interchange located in Sengkang New Town, Singapore. Located at the ground level of Compass Heights condominium, next to Sengkang MRT/LRT station and Compass One shopping mall, it is the second air-conditioned bus interchange in Singapore and the second Integrated Transport Hub (ITH) in Singapore. It was opened on 18 January 2003.

History

Old Sengkang bus interchange

The bus interchange was opened on 12 June 1998 as a terminal. At that time, developments around the area in Sengkang New Town were still actively in progress. On 28 April 2001, the temporary bus interchange was located across the road of Sengkang Square. To date, only the main shelter of the old bus interchange remains, connecting Sengkang Square to nearby HDB estates along Compassvale Road.

Relocation

On 18 January 2003, which was the day Sengkang LRT East Loop opened, Sengkang Bus Interchange was moved to Compass One (formerly known as Compass Point), and integrated with the other transport networks like the Sengkang MRT, Sengkang LRT line and station, all housed under one complex. It is notably the second bus interchange in Singapore to be air-conditioned, after Toa Payoh Bus Interchange.

Enhancement

To improve ventilation at the former non-air conditioned alighting bays, the Land Transport Authority constructed a new air-conditioned passageway connecting to the existing air conditioned boarding areas in 2007. On 24 November 2014, LTA officially announced the expansion of the interchange to accommodate future bus services under the Bus Service Enhancement Programme (BSEP) Scheme as the current interchange does not have enough parking spaces for more services. The expansion consists of 12 additional parking bays, boarding and alighting facilities, concourse area, staff lounge and a canteen. The expansion works were scheduled to be completed in the third quarter of 2016. The extension, named Compassvale Bus Interchange (formerly referred to as Sengkang Bus Interchange Expansion), is located opposite the current bus interchange along Sengkang Square and it officially opened on 12 March 2017 together with the launch of bus service 374.

Bus contracting model

Under the new bus contracting model, all the bus routes were split into 4 route packages, operated by different public bus operators.

List of routes

Instead of terminating at Sengkang Bus Interchange, Service 83 and Service 965 does not layover and loops at the interchange. This is partly due to the limited parking space at the bus park in the interchange.
