Constructed by the Housing and Development Board (HDB), the bus park of the interchange was completed in 1979.

[1] In January 1980, bus services that previously terminated at a bus terminus along Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6 were amended to the interchange, but passengers were not allowed to board or alight at the interchange.

Covering an area of more than 14,000 square metres (150,000 sq ft) and with 36 berths, the bus interchange included features such as swing gates and turnstiles to handle commuter traffic, along with safety railings and walls to ensure commuters' safety.

[4] In 2001, the government announced plans to redevelop the bus interchange to form part of an integrated development,[5] and to make way for the development, the interchange was moved to a temporary location along Ang Mo Kio Avenue 8 in March 2002.

[8] Subsequently, the new bus interchange within the integrated development started operations in April 2007.
