History
[edit]Tengah Bus Interchange commenced operations on 21 July 2024.
Before September 2023, transport options were limited to a free shuttle bus, after which Feeder service 944 was extended and renumbered to Trunk service 992.[3][4] Then on 26 November 2023, in tandem with the opening of Jurong Town Hall Bus Interchange, Trunk service 870 was introduced to connect Tengah with Jurong East.[5]
When Tengah Bus Interchange commenced operations, both services 870 & 992 were extended to serve the interchange. In tandem with the interchange opening, a new bus service, Trunk service 871, was introduced to better connect Tengah with Bukit Batok West & Beauty World.[2] On the same day, Services 870 and 992 was extended to Tengah Bus Interchange, connecting residents to Jurong East and Bukit Batok.[6]
Tengah Bus Interchange was formerly named Tengah Boulevard Bus Interchange.[citation needed] However due to disapproval from Tengah residents, it was renamed Tengah Bus Interchange.[citation needed]
Bus contracting model
[edit]Under the new Bus Contracting Model, Tengah Bus Interchange is under the Bulim Bus Package, operated by Tower Transit Singapore. All three bus services serving this bus interchange are operated by Tower Transit Singapore.
