Woodleigh Bus Interchange is an air-conditioned bus interchange located at Bidadari, serving residential areas around Bidadari, Joo Seng and Potong Pasir. As Singapore's first air-conditioned underground bus interchange to be built beneath public housing flats, it forms part of the HDB Woodleigh Village mixed-use development, comprising 330 Build-to-Order (BTO) flats, a hawker centre, retail shops and other community amenities. It is also linked with Woodleigh MRT station to form the Woodleigh Integrated Transport Hub.
History
[edit]A bus interchange under an upcoming housing estate in Bidadari was first announced in September 2014, then slated to be ready by 2019.[2] The opening date was later pushed to 2021, and again in February 2024 to end-2024,[3] before finally getting a set date of 20 April 2025 earlier that same month,[1] five months after it was handed over to the Land Transport Authority (LTA) by HDB.[4] Originally named Bidadari Bus Interchange as referenced in LTA's Land Transport Master Plan 2040,[5] it was later renamed as Woodleigh Bus Interchange, after its connecting MRT station of the same name.
