History

[edit]

Tengah Bus Interchange commenced operations on 21 July 2024.

Before September 2023, transport options were limited to a free shuttle bus, after which Feeder service 944 was extended and renumbered to trunk service 992.[3][4][5] Then on 26 November 2023, in tandem with the opening of Jurong Town Hall Bus Interchange, trunk service 870 was introduced to connect Tengah with Jurong East.[6]

When Tengah Bus Interchange commenced operations, both services 870 & 992 were extended to serve the interchange. In tandem with the interchange opening, a new bus service, trunk service 871, was introduced to better connect Tengah with Bukit Batok West & Beauty World.[2] On the same day, Services 870 and 992 was extended to Tengah Bus Interchange, connecting residents to Jurong East and Bukit Batok.[7]

A new bus service, 872, began operation on 10 August 2025, connecting the bus interchange with Chinese Garden MRT station.[8] New services 452 and 453 will begin operation on 17 November, connecting to Beauty World MRT station and Bukit Batok Bus Interchange respectively.[9]
