Yishun Bus Interchange is located in northern Singapore, integrated with Northpoint City. The interchange is part of the Yishun Integrated Transport Hub (ITH), which opened on 8 September 2019. Before this interchange, the original bus interchange was in operation from 23 August 1987 to 13 March 2015. Operations were transferred to a temporary site on 14 March 2015 for the construction of Yishun Integrated Transport Hub (ITH), and eventually closed on 7 September 2019.

History

The original interchange was built at a cost of S$2 million, and it opened on 23 August 1987. It was the first bus interchange in Singapore purpose-built for the Trans-Island Bus Service. [1]

The shops at Block 923 were closed and subsequently demolished in 2012 due to the development plans. Residents who were residing at Block 923 were transferred to a new residential area.

On 17 June 2013, the Housing & Development Board (HDB) released the land parcel where the interchange will be located and launched it for sale on 28 June 2013.[2]

To make way for a new Integrated Transport Hub (ITH), the interchange was relocated to a temporary site across Yishun Central 1 behind Northpoint Shopping Centre on 14 March 2015. The ITH opened on 8 September 2019.[3][4]

Bus Contracting Model

See also: Bus Contracting Model (Singapore)

Under the new bus contracting model, all the bus routes were split into 5 route packages- 103 under Serangoon-Eunos, 171, 853, 854, 855, 856, 857, 859 under Sembawang-Yishun, 85 under Loyang, 39 under Tampines with the rest under Seletar Bus Packages.

Ten services together with Yishun feeder services are under this package, SBS Transit won, and operations began on 18 March 2018 (800, 804, 805, 807, 811, 860) , 25 March 2018 (803, 806, 812, 851, 852) and 26 March 2018 (850E).[5]
