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.
