List of former bus stations in Singapore

This is a non-exhaustive listing of former bus interchanges or terminals that were once part of Singapore's bus system, and decommissioned due to geographical retention or the introduction of new town centres, or creation of consolidated transportation hubs.

Former bus interchanges

Bus interchange	Closure date	Fate	Image
Compassvale	1 December 2024	All services relocated to Buangkok Bus Interchange.
Hougang South	15 February 2004	Ceased operations totally and became Kovan Hub, and the vacated facility does occasionally hold atrium exhibitions and for other commercial uses. It is now converted into a community space with an open carpark on the former end-on berths. It also serves as a transit stop for coaches to and from Malaysia with routes from destinations such as Genting Highlands and Kuala Lumpur.[1] Moreover, bus services 112, 113 and 119 still calls at the facility for passengers to alight and disembark there as a bus stop at the former sawtooth berths. Service 115 starts its journey from there and Service 53M layovers at the bus stop.
Jurong	1 July 1990	Services relocated to Boon Lay, Jurong East and Clementi Bus Interchange. It functioned as a bus depot in the western part of Singapore before it was demolished when SBS Transit built a new multi storey bus depot (Soon Lee Bus Depot) along Soon Lee Road in the Jurong Industrial Area. It is located at the junction of Jalan Ahmad Ibrahim and Jurong Port Road. It was completed in 1978 at a cost of S$1.2 million, and was the first bus station in Singapore built to serve feeder services, which were then being introduced as part of a rationalisation plan by Singapore Bus Service.[2]
Woodlands	4 December 1996	All services relocated to Woodlands Regional Bus Interchange.

Woodlands

Woodlands Bus Interchange is a former bus interchange that was located at Woodlands Town Centre.^[3] Initially planned in the late 1970s as part of a bus service improvement scheme,^[4] the interchange commenced operations in 1981, and had 17 berths.^[3] The announcement to build the North-South Line MRT extension and the Woodlands MRT station that was scheduled to complete and open on 10 February 1996, accelerated plans to relocate and develop an entirely new town centre for Woodlands New Town at Woodlands Square, the new regional centre for Woodlands or more precisely, the North region. In late-1996, electronic display boards of TIBS buses serving the Woodlands Bus Interchange began to display notices that the TIBS Woodlands' fleet would be moving to the new interchange at Woodlands Square, Singapore's first mass underground bus interchange – Woodlands Regional Bus Interchange, conveniently located under the Woodlands MRT station, and is connected to Causeway Point with escalators. Woodlands Regional Bus Interchange was closed on 12 March 2016 for upgrading works as part of the construction of the Stage 1 Thomson–East Coast Line Woodlands station and was temporarily replaced by Woodlands Temporary Bus Interchange. The interchange reopened as part of the Woodlands Integrated Transport Hub on 13 June 2021.^[5]

Hougang South

Former Hougang South Bus Interchange, now called Kovan Hub

Hougang South Bus Interchange was a bus interchange, located in Hougang Street 21, which ceased operations on 15 February 2004. The interchange's structure continues to stand pending a major redevelopment of the site, and is currently called Kovan Hub.

Initially named Hougang Bus Interchange, construction of the interchange commenced in 1981,^[6] and it commenced operations in October 1983, with an exhibition held prior to the interchange's opening to get commuters accustomed to it.^[7] Fitted out with 34 bus bays,^[8] the interchange was built to handle additional bus services with the further development of Hougang new town.^[9]

At that time, Hougang comprised just four neighbourhoods, with large tracts to the northwest of Upper Serangoon Road still undeveloped. The commercial centre at Hougang Street 21 thus served as a town centre. From the 1990s, however, the town was rapidly expanded with five more neighbourhoods constructed, and a new, permanent town centre further north was built. As is the case for all other bus interchanges (except the Eunos Bus Interchange) in which they are located in their respective town centres, the Hougang Bus Interchange was to be moved to the new town centre, while the existing facility was then converted to other uses. Its bus services were then amended to terminate at either Hougang Central or Punggol.

When this plan was publicised, it created an uproar amongst the local populace, particularly shopowners in Hougang Street 21. With the help of local politicians, their discontentments were made to the relevant authorities, resulting in a delay in the interchange's closure. The government was adamant on removing the interchange, however, as it insists it makes little sense to have two bus interchanges in one town, and the opening of the Kovan MRT station on the North East Line will help to continue bringing in the crowds. It proceeded to build a new, permanent interchange, known as the Hougang Central Bus Interchange, and renamed the existing interchange as the Hougang South Bus Interchange.

In the meantime, the vacated facility does occasionally hold atrium exhibitions and for other commercial uses. It is now converted into a community space with an open carpark on the former end-on berths. It also serves as a transit stop for coaches to and from Malaysia with routes from destinations such as Genting Highlands and Kuala Lumpur.^[1] Moreover, bus services 112, 113 and 119 still calls at the facility for passengers to alight and disembark there as a bus stop at the former sawtooth berths. Service 115 starts its journey from there and Service 53M layovers at the bus stop.

Marsiling	4 February 1996	Replaced by Woodlands Regional Bus Interchange. It was the original bus terminal serving the entire north of Singapore, which was predominantly undeveloped and neglected in the course of developing the country's suburb throughout the 1960s till the 1980s. Development of this area started to sprout when former-Deputy Prime Minister Tony Tan (who later became President of the Republic of Singapore) became the MP for Sembawang, and pledged to develop Sembawang into a prosperous suburb. This allowed for the creation of the Woodlands New Town and the entire extension of Woodlands from the original old town centre at Woodlands Centre Road and the integration of Marsiling, a small estate of only around 20 4-storeys HDB blocks, into the new town. Woodlands New Town was speedily developing in the mid-1980s and first plans to build an entirely new bus interchange to replace the relatively small Marsiling Bus Terminal surfaces after Woodlands become part of the new Sembawang GRC in 1988. By the mid-1990s, the Woodlands Bus Interchange based at Woodlands Centre Road was fully functional. Marsiling Bus Terminal continued operations with Services 950, 951, 952 with Service 950 plying the route to Shenton Way, Service 951 to Boon Lay and Service 952 to Marina Centre, were periodically moved to the new bus interchange. The closure of the bus terminal comes as TIBS axed the 95x services, in favour of the new 96x services that served the downtown city areas.

Holland Drive	1998	Roadside bus lanes converted into lane for the main road.

Hougang	20 May 2001	Replaced by Hougang Central Bus Interchange with the completion of the North East Line.
Marine Parade	16 September 2001	Replaced by Upper East Coast Bus Terminal (Service 13 and 853#), Bedok Bus Interchange (Service 196) and to loop at Siglap Road (Service 16, 55, 76, 135, 155). When the land plot was slated as the new site of Victoria School, the terminal was demolished to make way. Old routes of Service 16, 55, 135, 155 that used to terminate there were made to make a loop around the school site. The former site of the roadside terminal is now replaced with a bus stop and Service 36 and 401 serves the area today. It was constructed by the Singapore Bus Service in 1981 at a cost of $500,000, as part of its plan to eliminate roadside bus terminals. The terminal also allowed for more bus services to serve the Marine Parade area. However, the terminal's construction was opposed by residents of nearby housing estates due to concerns over noise pollution.[12] Consequently, SBS noted that the terminal would be "tastefully designed and properly landscaped", and the site was at least 220 metres away from the nearest housing estate.[13]
Rumah Tinggi	2002	Now the looping point for SBS Transit Service 63, which terminated at the terminal previously.
Teban Gardens	12 May 2002	Replaced by Soon Lee Bus Depot. Service 143 was extended to Jurong East Bus Interchange and 331 subsequently replaced by 143M.
Woodlands Checkpoint	23 March 2003
Jalan Kayu	7 December 2003	Converted to a public carpark and demolished in the late 2000s. With the closure of the terminal, Service 103 was integrated with Service 214E/214W (renumbered into 820/821 and 378/379) to form Serangoon - West Camp Road (Loop). It was once served with service 103 and 163 for a very long time.
Punggol		Replaced by Punggol Bus Interchange. Service 82 was then shortened to Punggol and Serangoon, and service 84 was then introduced from Punggol to Punggol Road End (Loop).
Sin Ming Road	5 September 2004	Closed down with the removal of City Shuttle Service 605. Also replaced by Ang Mo Kio Bus Interchange with the extension of service 130 and Bishan Bus Interchange with the renumbering from 353, to 57 and 410. The terminal was one of the few surviving terminals of the 1970s era in which it was common for terminals to be built along the road side with only a small booth for drivers to report when completing their runs.
Lim Chu Kang	27 February 2005	Converted to a bus stop.
Admiralty Road West	20 November 2005	Replaced by Sembawang Bus Interchange.
Sembawang Road End
Marina South Pier	28 November 2011
Taman Jurong	22 November 2015	This is the last and latest roadside bus terminal to be built in Singapore. It opened in 2013 when the new bus service 49 was introduced from Taman Jurong to Jurong West Street 41.[14] The terminal was also used by bus service 98A, a short trip service from Lakeside MRT Station to Corporation Rd, as a layover stop. Although the facilities were similar to Ghim Moh and Sims Place Terminals, passengers were not allowed to board or alight at Taman Jurong Terminal. On 22 November 2015, the container box office for bus captains to rest in during their break was removed as the bus service 49 was extended to Jurong East.[15] Service 98A buses continue to layover till 2018. As of 2018, the bus bays were covered up and remains of the terminal can no longer be found.
New Bridge Road	10 March 2018	Replaced by Kampong Bahru Bus Terminal. It was opened on 6 June 1987 and was near to Outram Park MRT station. This bus terminal had an alighting berth after the entrance of the bus park. No boarding facilities were available at the terminal, thus was done at the bus stop outside the terminal. Before the terminal was built, many bus services that ply the terminal used to ply at some bus stops along New Bridge Road. The plot of land occupied by it will be redeveloped into a new elective surgery centre by the Singapore General Hospital.
