About Hougang Bus Interchange

Hougang Bus Interchange is an important transportation hub in Northeast Singapore. It is located in Hougang Central. Since it opened in 1994, the interchange has been an important way for people in Hougang, Buangkok, and Kovan to get to other parts of Singapore. With the development of Hougang as a major residential and commercial district, the interchange has evolved to accommodate the increasing demand for efficient public transportation.

In 2021, the original Hougang Bus Interchange was relocated to a temporary site along Hougang Central to make way for the future Integrated Transport Hub (ITH), set to be completed by 2030. The new ITH will have a smooth link between Hougang MRT Station (North-East Line and future Cross Island Line), making it easier for commuters to get to work.
