Compassvale Bus Interchange, located opposite Sengkang Bus Interchange, is a bus interchange in Sengkang, Singapore, built to increase the capacity of the existing interchange. It is bordered by Compassvale Road, Sengkang East Way and Sengkang Square. Despite its name, it is not located near LRT station with the same name, but is actually named after the road which it is located at, Compassvale Road.

History

On 24 November 2014, LTA officially announced the expansion of the interchange to accommodate future bus services under the Bus Service Enhancement Programme (BSEP) Scheme as Sengkang Bus Interchange does not have enough parking spaces for more services. The expansion consists of 12 additional parking bays, boarding and alighting facilities, concourse area, staff lounge and a canteen. The expansion works were completed in the third quarter of 2016.[1] The extension, named Compassvale Bus Interchange, is located opposite Compass One along Sengkang Square and it officially opened on 12 March 2017 with one service, 374.[2]Service 110 was introduced as the second route to start from the interchange on 22 October 2017.

Bus Contracting Model

Under the new bus contracting model, all bus services are under the Sengkang-Hougang Bus Package, where SBS Transit and SMRT Buses is the main operator of the interchange.
