Six more bus interchanges to receive energy-efficient, family-friendly upgrades

Singapore's Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced that six more bus interchanges will receive significant upgrades starting in 2027. The enhancements aim to boost accessibility, improve commuter amenities, and upgrade staff facilities across Bishan, Bukit Batok, Bukit Merah, Eunos, Punggol, and Tampines. These upgrades will focus on replacing and upgrading air-conditioning, ventilation, and lighting systems to enhance comfort and energy efficiency. The LTA is also introducing more inclusive features, such as priority queue zones, additional seating, dedicated baby care and family washrooms, wheelchair-accessible toilets, commuter care rooms, and tactile guided paths with Braille signs. Passenger service offices and staff lounges will be refurbished to better support frontline staff in serving commuters. These efforts are part of a broader initiative to make Singapore's public transport system more comfortable, family-friendly, and inclusive for all users. The LTA is carrying out the work in phases to minimize disruption to bus services and seeks commuters' understanding during the improvement period. Meanwhile, upgrading works at seven other bus interchanges, Ang Mo Kio, Bedok, Boon Lay, Clementi, Sengkang, Serangoon, and Toa Payoh, are progressing well and are expected to be completed next year. These enhancements commenced in August 2024.
