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 near Sengkang MRT/LRT station.

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 scheduled to be completed in the third quarter of 2016.[1] The extension, named Compassvale Bus Interchange, is located opposite Sengkang Bus Interchange along Sengkang Square and it officially opened on 12 March 2017 with one service, Feeder Bus Service 374.[2] Bus Service 110 was introduced as the second route to start from the interchange on 22 October that year.

Bus Contracting Model[]

Under the new bus contracting model, both services are under the Sengkang-Hougang Bus Package, where SBS Transit Ltd and SMRT Buses Ltd are the operators of the interchange.
