Sengkang Bus Interchange is a
History
Old Sengkang bus interchange
The bus interchange was opened on 12 June 1998 as a terminal.[1] At that time, developments around the area in Sengkang New Town were still actively in progress. On 28 April 2001, the temporary bus interchange was located across the road of Sengkang Square. To date, only the main shelter of the old bus interchange remains, connecting Sengkang Square to nearby HDB estates along Compassvale Road.
Relocation
On 18 January 2003, which was the day Sengkang LRT East Loop opened, Sengkang Bus Interchange was moved to Compass One (formerly known as Compass Point), and integrated with the other transport networks like the Sengkang MRT, Sengkang LRT line and station, all housed under one complex. It is notably the second bus interchange in Singapore to be air-conditioned, after Toa Payoh Bus Interchange.[1]

Instead of terminating at Sengkang Bus Interchange, Service 83 and Service 965 does not layover and loops at the interchange. This is partly due to the limited parking space at the bus park in the interchange.
