History

The interchange was built at a cost of S$2.7 million[2] and opened on 10 December 1989, along with the Eunos Bus Interchange. The interchange provides bus connections around the Pasir Ris estate. Bus Service 403 was the first bus route in Pasir Ris from 1979, which previously terminated at Tampines Road terminus before being amended to the current route of looping at Pasir Ris Road.[1]

Bus Contracting Model

Under the new bus contracting model, all the bus routes operating in the interchange were split into 4 route packages - Bus Service 5 under Bukit Merah, Bus Service 58 under Serangoon-Eunos, Bus Services 21 and 88 under Bishan-Toa Payoh and the rest under the Loyang Bus Package operated by Go-Ahead Singapore. Services under the Loyang Bus Package started operations on 18 September 2016.[3]

Redevelopment

Redevelopment of Pasir Ris Bus Interchange has started since 2019. A Temporary Bus Interchange will be completed by 2021, after which the western half of the old bus interchange will be demolished to facilitate the construction of the Pasir Ris Integrated Transport Hub and Pasir Ris Rail Turnback, which will be completed by 2027, two years before the Cross Island MRT line starts operations.[4][5][6]

gollark: Yes, and?
gollark: This is weird, I can't see any information on how zim stuff has full text search.
