Tampines North Bus Interchange Now Open With Room for People With Sensory Needs

For those who live in Tampines, you’ve got a new treat in the area. 

New Tampines North Bus Interchange Now Open 

The new Tampines North bus interchange, which is located along Tampines Street 62, opened on Sunday (27 November). 

The first change made to the interchange was its increase in inclusive facilities, such as barrier-free access at entrances, a dedicated queue zone with seats at each boarding berth, and wheelchair-accessible bathrooms. 

Also, it features various family-friendly facilities such as changing room and a baby care room for parents.

Last but not least, there is also a commuter care room for those with sensory needs who would want a soothing environment to be in. The walls and floors are cushioned, designed to be a comfortable sanctuary for commuters.

To improve safety, the bus interchange has also been equipped with a reverse warning system to detect the movement of buses from the parking lots to the driveway.

Bus Route Adjustments

With the opening of Tampines North BI, adjustments will be made to some bus routes.

From 27 November 2022, Services 18 and 129 will be extended to operate from Tampines North BI and will no longer call at Tampines Concourse BI.

Service 18 will be amended to serve Tampines Avenue 9, Tampines North Drive 1 and Tampines Avenue 6 while Service 129 will serve Tampines Concourse, Tampines Avenue 9, Tampines Avenue 12 and Tampines North Drive 2.

In addition, Service 18 within Bedok will be amended to ply Bedok North Avenue 4.

It all seems so messy, so how do you remember it all?

Don’t worry, you won’t have to.

With the new upgrades in the bus interchange, one can only imagine what our transport system would look like a decade down the road.
