Bukit Panjang Bus Interchange is a bus interchange serving Bukit Panjang New Town, Singapore. It is diagonally opposite Bukit Panjang Plaza and adjacent to Bukit Panjang MRT/LRT Station on the Downtown MRT and Bukit Panjang LRT lines.

History

From 16 December 2012 to 4 September 2017, all services originating from the current bus interchange had been re-routed, as it has been closed to make way for the development of the Bukit Panjang Integrated Transport Hub (ITH).[1][2][3]

The new interchange opened on 4 September 2017 as part of the Bukit Panjang Integrated Transport Hub. 10 services amended to the interchange while the remaining 4 services remained at the temporary bus park while waiting for the new bus terminal at Gali Batu by end-2019. The temporary bus park will be replaced by Gali Batu Bus Terminal by 2020.[4][5][6][7][8]
