List of bus stations in Singapore
Over time, there are several bus stations that have been shut down due to geographical retention or the introduction of new town centres, or creation of consolidated transportation hubs.
The SBS embarked on a terminal improvement programme to build facilities such as more parking space, timekeeper's booths, rest areas for bus crew members, proper platforms with adequate shelter, toilets and food facilities.
Densely inhabited new towns were built along major roads and a bus terminal was allocated at a suitable point inside each of them.
[5] The 1980s also saw the building of larger bus interchanges in new towns, such as the one at Ang Mo Kio which was twice the size of the existing terminal it replaced.
To improve seamless connectivity with the rail network, selected interchanges in housing estates are slowly being rebuilt as Integrated Transport Hubs.
First announced by the Land Transport Authority in November 2014, as an expansion of the Tampines Bus Interchange,[29] it commenced operations on 18 December 2016.
[33] The temporary Holland Drive terminal (located next to the City Shuttle Service terminus), started operating in November 1975 for certain bus routes.
[35] By the late 1980s, the present Buona Vista terminal had become operational, and bus services to the nearby Ayer Rajah Industrial Estate were introduced.
Due to heightened security concerns, buses can only enter the basements after auxiliary police officers have physically boarded and inspected them.
[36] Some berths are reserved at the terminal for Singapore Police Force and Changi International Airport Services vehicles.
The terminal allows boarding and alighting at a bus stop along the road and serves the residents of Buona Vista and Ghim Moh as well as those in the Mount Sinai housing estate.
Before the consolidation of bus routes to operate to and from major interchanges, roadside terminals were very common, especially in the seventies.
One of the car park entrances was sealed off and functions as a turnabout point for buses entering from Commonwealth Avenue West.
Initially, JTC provided shuttle bus services to and from Jurong East MRT station.
In 2002, two Jurong Island services were notable for being the first routes to use CNG powered buses in Singapore.
This bus terminal sits at a corner of the National University of Singapore (NUS) Kent Ridge campus, at the corner of Eusoff Hall and mainly serves as a transfer point for NUS students to other parts of Singapore.
[42] Opened on 16 August 1981, the terminal has a single vehicular concourse area, with separate entrance and exit leading to Clementi Road.
The services ran daily (except Sunday) during peak hours for 50 cents a ride.
In June 2015, the Marina Centre Bus Terminal Expansion opened together with a public coach park.
As of June 2015, there are bus parking lots at the roadside of the terminal occupied by SMRT buses.
Opened on 26 May 1985,[47] the terminal has a single combined entrance and exit located along Whampoa Road.
[48] In 2011, the terminal was renovated and refurbished to provide full wheelchair accessibility for wheelchair-bound passengers.
In 2014, addition and alteration works were carried out under LTA Contract VT353,[49] which was awarded to TQC Builders Pte.
The contract included to installation and construction of a new annexe at the terminal, with public restrooms, a driver's lounge and ancillary rooms, built on the space once occupied by the excess bus parking spaces; new rain shades, seating and wall mounted fans were also installed, with a new coat of paint applied to the structure.
