Bukit Panjang Bus Interchange was a bus interchange serving Bukit Panjang New Town, Singapore. It was located diagonally opposite Bukit Panjang Plaza. The nearest station was the Bukit Panjang LRT/MRT.

Similar to the Bukit Merah Bus Interchange, the bus interchange was not served directly by any existing MRT station.

Since 16 December 2012, all services originating from the current bus interchange had been re-routed as it has been closed to make way for the development of the Bukit Panjang Integrated Transport Hub. The Hub is expected to be completed in 2015.[3]

Redevelopments

The current bus interchange will be developed into a new integrated transport hub in 2016. The new air-conditioned bus interchange will be integrated with the existing Bukit Panjang LRT station, upcoming Bukit Panjang MRT station as well as retail, F&B and residential developments co-located on the same site. It will provide commuters, residents and shoppers with easy access to the bus and rail network. Commuters in nearby residential developments and malls can look forward to running errands or shopping conveniently and comfortably, before transferring to their connecting buses or trains.[2]
