Choa Chu Kang Bus Interchange

All you need to know about the Choa Chu Kang Bus Interchange

Choa Chu Kang Town Centre houses Choa Chu Kang Bus Interchange, which serves residential areas around Choa Chu Kang, Yew Tee, Teck Whye, and Bukit Panjang industrial regions near Sungei Tengah and Sungei Kadut. At the intersection of Choa Chu Kang Drive and Choa Chu Kang Loop is where the interchange is situated. The Lot One Shoppers’ Mall and Choa Chu Kang MRT Station are also close by the shaded concourse building. Choa Chu Kang Town Council, Choa Chu Kang Public Library, and Choa Chu Kang Park are nearby public amenities. To create a place for the forthcoming Jurong Region Line station gets anticipated to finish in or around 2025, the former Choa Chu Kang Bus Interchange will demolish. On December 16, 2018, the brand-new bus interchange opened. Choa Chu Kang Bus Interchange’s anchor operator is SMRT Buses. The future operator of the Choa Chu Kang – Bukit Panjang Bus Package will take over as the anchor operator of this interchange with the implementation of the Bus Contracting Model (BCM).

Redevelopment:

An air-conditioned bus interchange at Choa Chu Kang, next to Lot One, and the construction of a new hotel are the subject of a recently awarded contract. The relocation will make it possible to start building the Jurong Region Line. Long known as a temporary bus interchange, the LTA looks to be abandoning the moniker for the first time with the move of the Choa Chu Kang Bus Interchange to its new facilities. It may be because there is a perception that new permanent integrated transport hubs would soon replace temporary bus interchanges like the Punggol Temporary Bus Interchange (which opened its doors in 2003 and even underwent an expansion in 2017). Additionally, after plans to include the bus interchange within a new neighboring development fell through, Jurong East Bus Interchange will be relocated a second time in a matter of short years. A new hub will build where the first temporary bus interchange once stood. 

The Bus Interchange:

 Choa Chu Kang is a residential town, and its bus interchange is called the new Choa Chu Kang Bus Interchange. The bus interchange is a transportation hub for commuters traveling into and out of the city, connecting with Choa Chu Kang MRT Station along the North-South MRT Line and providing easy transfers between the train network and the many bus routes at the junction. At the interchange, there are six places for articulated buses and 24 spots for 12-meter buses.
