Tampines Bus Interchange (Chinese: 淡滨尼巴士转换站) is a bus interchange serving Tampines in Singapore. It is an open-air building located in the town centre near the Tampines MRT Station, with the allocated Block 512. There are 24 bus services operating from the bus interchange (there will be no new bus routes going to Tampines Bus Interchange due to space constrains), making it the 4th busiest bus interchange in Singapore.
History
Prior to the opening of the interchange in 1987, buses at Tampines were served at Tampines Bus Terminal in Tampines Avenue 5 which was started in 1983. The bus interchange was refurbished in 2008 to make it wheelchair-accessible and allow the introduction of wheelchair accessible bus services.
Redevelopment
Redevelopment for Tampines Bus Interchange will only start after the completion of the Downtown Line stage 3 in end-2016. [1]
An extension will constructed by the 4th quarter of 2016 in the vicinity, which will complement the existing bus interchange, will also free up space for new or extended bus routes.[2][3]
