Hougang Central Bus Interchange is a bus interchange serving the town of Hougang. It is located directly above Hougang MRT station. This bus interchange was planned to be an integrated transport hub. [1]
Plans to build a bus interchange in Hougang North were first announced in Parliament in January 1992. [2] Intended to connect Hougang with adjacent new towns and the Central Area, [2] the bus interchange was built in response to requests made by the Member of Parliament for the area to improve bus services. [3] Having cost S$5.7 million to build, Hougang Central Bus Interchange was subsequently opened by Minister of State (Trade and Industry and Communications) Goh Chee Wee on 17 December 1994. [4]
From 1998 to 2001, the interchange was closed to facilitate the construction of Hougang MRT station, and six bus services were diverted to a temporary bus interchange along Upper Serangoon Road. [5] In February 2004, bus operations at the Hougang South bus interchange were shifted to this interchange. [6] [7]
In 2015, the interchange was expanded by 0.3 hectares (0.74 acres), to provide additional bus parking space for more bus services. [8]
By 2030, Hougang Central Bus Interchange would be majorly renovated to accommodate the Cross Island line section, and would become an Integrated Transport Hub in 2030.[ citation needed]
Under the new bus contracting model, with the exception of services 74 and 147 under Clementi, the rest of the services are under Sengkang-Hougang Bus Package.[ citation needed]
