History

To improve ventilation at the former non-air conditioned alighting bays, the Land Transport Authority constructed a new air-conditioned passageway connecting to the existing air conditioned boarding areas in 2007. On 24 November 2014, LTA officially announced the expansion of the interchange to accommodate future bus services under the Bus Service Enhancement Programme (BSEP) Scheme as the current interchange does not have enough parking spaces for more services. The expansion consists of 12 additional parking bays, boarding and alighting facilities, concourse area, staff lounge and a canteen. The expansion works were completed in the third quarter of 2016.^[1] The extension, named Compassvale Bus Interchange, is located opposite Compass One along Sengkang Square and it officially opened on 12 March 2017 with currently one service, 374.^[2]

Bus Contracting Model

Under the new bus contracting model, service 374 is under the Sengkang-Hougang Bus Package.
