Seletar Bus Depot, formerly named Sungei Seletar Bus Depot, is the third bus depot to be built by the Land Transport Authority in Singapore. It is located off Yio Chu Kang Road and houses 24 existing services and two new services to announced closer to the commencement date, under the Seletar Bus Package.
To be completed in 2017, the new bus depot is able to accommodate about 500 buses and be equipped with facilities for daily bus operations, bus maintenance and a rest area for bus drivers.[1] An access road will also be built to serve the depot.
History
On 7 June 2016, the Land Transport Authority called for tenders to operate 26 routes based at Ang Mo Kio Bus Interchange, Yio Chu Kang Bus Interchange, and Yishun Bus Interchange out of the new depot as part of its new contracting model. The bus services will be operated by the successful tenderer for a service term of five years, with a possible two-year extension based on good performance.[2] On 19 April 2017, the Land Transport Authority awarded the bus package to SBS Transit.[3][4] SBS Transit will take over services in the bus package in five tranches starting from the first quarter of 2018.[2]
