SINGAPORE: The Tampines Concourse bus interchange will start operations on Dec 18, said the Land Transport Authority (LTA) on Monday (Nov 28).
The new bus interchange will complement the current Tampines bus interchange and the two will be connected via a 250-m barrier-free sheltered walkway. It will be served by three bus services – existing services 18 and 39 as well as a new service, 129, the agency said.
The current Tampines bus interchange will also see a new service, 127, added to its roster, it added.
“Residents in Tampines can look forward to more bus services and improved connectivity with the opening of the new Tampines Concourse bus interchange to increase the capacity,” LTA said.
Equipped with barrier-free facilities, the new bus interchange will have a dedicated boarding point and graduated kerb edges to facilitate the boarding of passengers in wheelchairs. The concourse area will also have priority queues with seats for the elderly and disabled.
