History
Tengah Bus Interchange commenced operations on 21 July 2024.
Transport options were limited to a free shuttle bus before the extension of service 944 and renumbering on 24 September 2023 to service 992.[3][4] When Tengah Bus Interchange commenced operations, a new bus service, Bus 871 was introduced to better connect Tengah with Bukit Batok West & Beauty World.[5] On the same day, Services 870 and 992 was extended to Tengah Bus Interchange, connecting residents to Jurong East and Bukit Batok.[6]
It was formerly named Tengah Boulevard Bus Interchange, but Tengah residents disapproved the idea, so it was renamed to Tengah Bus Interchange. The same goes to Bidadari, where it will be Woodleigh Bus Interchange and also for Punggol North, where it will be called Punggol Coast Bus Interchange.
