Bukit Panjang Bus Interchange is a bus interchange serving Bukit Panjang New Town, Singapore. It is diagonally opposite Bukit Panjang Plaza. The nearest station is the Bukit Panjang LRT/MRT.

The bus interchange was served directly by existing MRT station.

Since 16 December 2012, 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).[3] The new ITH is expected to be completed by 2017.[4][5]

Redevelopments

The current bus interchange will be developed into a new integrated transport hub. It will be integrated with the Bukit Panjang MRT and LRT stations as well as retail, F&B and residential developments co-located on the same site. It will provide commuters, residents and shoppers with easy access to the bus and rail network. Commuters in nearby residential developments and malls can look forward to running errands or shopping conveniently and comfortably, before transferring to their connecting buses or trains.[2]
