History

From 16 December 2012 to 4 September 2017, all services originating from the current bus interchange had been re-routed, as it has been closed to make way for the development of the Bukit Panjang Integrated Transport Hub (ITH).[1][2][3]

The new interchange within Hillion Mall opened on 4 September 2017 as part of the Bukit Panjang Integrated Transport Hub. 10 services amended to the interchange while the remaining 4 services remained at the temporary bus park while waiting for the new bus terminal at Gali Batu by end-2019. The temporary bus park was replaced by Gali Batu Bus Terminal in 2021.[4][5][6][7][8]
