Hougang Central Bus Interchange

Hougang Central Bus Interchange (Chinese: 后港中心巴士转换站) is a bus interchange serving the town of Hougang. It is located directly above Hougang MRT Station.

History[]

Plans to build a bus interchange in Hougang North were first announced in Parliament in January 1992. Intended to connect Hougang with adjacent new towns and the Central Area, the bus interchange was built in response to requests made by the Member of Parliament for the area to improve bus services. Having cost S$5.7 million to build, Hougang Central Bus Interchange was subsequently opened by Minister of State (Trade and Industry and Communications) Goh Chee Wee on 18 December 1994.

From 1998 to 2001, the interchange was closed to facilitate the construction of Hougang MRT station, and six bus services were diverted to a temporary bus interchange along Upper Serangoon Road. In February 2004, bus operations at the Hougang South bus interchange were shifted to this interchange.

In 2015, the interchange was expanded by 0.3 hectares (0.74 acres), to provide additional bus parking space for more bus services.

By 2030, Hougang Central Bus Interchange would be majorly renovated to accommodate the Cross Island line section, and would become an Integrated Transport Hub in 2030

On 9 July 2017, new bus service 329 was introduced plying from Hougang to Buangkok Crescent.
