[edit] History of Bus Interchange
[edit] Old Sengkang Bus Interchange
The bus interchange then was located across the road of Sengkang Square. At that time, developments in Sengkang were still being made.
[edit] Relocation of Bus Interchange
In 2003, Sengkang Bus Interchange is moved to Compass Point Shopping Centre, and is integrated with the other transport networks like the Sengkang MRT Station and LRT Stations, all housed under one complex. It is notably the second bus interchange in Singapore to be air-conditioned, after Toa Payoh Bus Interchange.
[edit] Enhancements to Bus Interchange
To improve ventilation at the non-air-conditioned alighting bays, the Land Transport Authority has indicated that a new air-conditioned passageway connecting to the existing air-conditioned boarding areas will be built soon.
[edit] Change of Bus Routes in Sengkang
Some bus services had been removed or re-routed when the North East Line was opened in June 2003, and when the East and West loops of the Sengkang LRT Line were opened in January 2003 and January 2005 respectively.
