***Update: Bus service for new Punggol Coast Bus Interchange is 34 and 117.

The upcoming launch of the Punggol Coast Bus Interchange on June 29, 2025, marks a significant milestone in Singapore's public transportation landscape. As the nation's 15th integrated transport hub (ITH), this new facility is poised to enhance connectivity and convenience for residents and commuters in the Punggol region.

Strategically situated within the Punggol Digital District, the interchange is designed to seamlessly connect with the Punggol Coast MRT station, which commenced operations on December 10, 2024. This integration facilitates smoother transitions between bus and rail services, thereby improving the overall commuting experience.

The Punggol Coast Bus Interchange is equipped with modern amenities to cater to the needs of commuters. Features include air-conditioned waiting areas, real-time bus arrival information displays, and barrier-free access for individuals with mobility challenges. The design also incorporates sustainable elements, aligning with Singapore's commitment to environmental responsibility.

In terms of operations, the interchange will serve several bus routes, including services 34 and 117, which are currently being realigned to terminate at the new facility. This adjustment aims to optimize route efficiency and better serve the commuting patterns of residents in the area.

The development of the Punggol Coast Bus Interchange is part of a broader initiative to transform Punggol into a vibrant, smart, and sustainable district. The Punggol Digital District is envisioned as a hub for innovation, education, and lifestyle, with the interchange playing a pivotal role in supporting the area's growth by providing efficient and accessible transportation options.

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has emphasized that the new interchange will not only improve connectivity but also contribute to the overall quality of life for residents. By facilitating easier access to employment centers, educational institutions, and recreational facilities, the interchange supports the government's vision of creating well-connected and livable communities.

As Singapore continues to expand its public transport infrastructure, the opening of the Punggol Coast Bus Interchange represents a significant step forward in enhancing the nation's transit network. Commuters can look forward to a more integrated and efficient travel experience, reinforcing Singapore's reputation as a city with a world-class transportation system.
