A total of six bus interchanges will undergo upgrading as part of ongoing efforts to make public transport more comfortable, family-friendly and inclusive, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced on Tuesday (Aug 18). 

The six interchanges are Bishan, Bukit Batok, Bukit Merah, Eunos, Punggol and Tampines.

The authority added that works to improve accessibility, commuter amenities and staff facilities will begin in 2027.

As part of the upgrading works, systems such as air-conditioning, ventilation systems and lighting will be replaced and upgraded to improve comfort and energy efficiency.

Inclusive facilities such as priority queue zones, additional seating, baby care/family washrooms, wheelchair accessible toilets, tactile guided paths and Braille signs on handrails will also be enhanced.

In addition, staff facilities such as passenger service offices and staff lounges will be refurbished to better support frontline staff in serving commuters.

LTA said that these enhancement works will be carried out in phases to minimise disruption to bus services, and sought commuters' understanding and patience as it improves the overall experience at bus interchanges.

Providing an update on the ongoing upgrading works at Ang Mo Kio, Bedok, Boon Lay, Clementi, Sengkang, Serangoon and Toa Payoh bus interchanges, LTA said these works are progressing well and on track to be completed in 2027.
