Yishun Bus Interchange is located in northern Singapore, integrated with Northpoint City. The interchange is part of the Yishun Integrated Transport Hub (ITH), which opened on 8 September 2019. Before this interchange, the original bus interchange was in operation from 23 August 1987 to 13 March 2015. Operations were transferred to a temporary site on 14 March 2015 for the construction of Yishun Integrated Transport Hub (ITH), and eventually closed on 7 September 2019.
History[]
The original interchange was built at a cost of S$2 million, and it opened on 23 August 1987. It was the first bus interchange in Singapore purpose-built for the Trans-Island Bus Service.[1]
The shops at Block 923 were closed and subsequently demolished in 2012 due to the development plans. Residents who were residing at Block 923 were transferred to a new residential area.
On 17 June 2013, the Housing and Development Board (HDB) released the land parcel where the former interchange and then-demolished HDB flat, Block 923, was located. The land parcel was launched for sale on 28 June 2013.[2]
On 27 February 2015, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced the construction and co-location of a new air-conditioned bus interchange with the new Northpoint City integrated development, named the Yishun Integrated Transport Hub (YITH). The new interchange is slated to open in 2019.[3] The Integrated Bus Interchange will be linked to the existing Yishun MRT station by a new underpass under Yishun Avenue 2.
As such, to make way for a new Integrated Transport Hub (ITH), the interchange was relocated to a temporary site across Yishun Central 1 behind Northpoint Shopping Centre on 14 March 2015. The ITH opened on 8 September 2019.[4][5]
