History
editTengah 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]
