Kampong Bahru Bus Terminal (Malay: Pertukaran Bus Kampong Bahru; Chinese: 甘榜峇鲁路巴士终站) is a bus terminal in Singapore.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] It is situated along Spooner Road off Kampong Bahru Road[1][2][3][5][6][7][9][10][11][12] in Bukit Merah, and is located near Outram Community Hospital, as well as the Singapore General Hospital.[1]

History

[edit]
See also: List of former bus stations in Singapore § New Bridge Road

According to The Straits Times, historically there was a bus terminal located within Radin Mas named Kampong Bahru Bus Terminal.[13] The former bus terminal bears no relation to the contemporary bus terminal of the same name.

The current iteration of Kampong Bahru Bus Terminal was first announced on 23 May 2016, and was constructed and built on land formerly owned by Malayan Railways.[14] The construction of the new bus terminal was intended to replace the former New Bridge Road Bus Terminal, as the site would later be redeveloped into a new elective surgery centre by the Singapore General Hospital.[2][5][9][10][14][15] The bus terminal was originally slated for opening by the end of 2017,[15] but it was then delayed to March 2018.

Opening

[edit]

The terminal officially began operations on 10 March 2018, with existing services from New Bridge Road Bus Terminal amended to serve the bus terminal on that day.[2][3][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] The terminal is located about 500 metres from the former site of New Bridge Road Bus Terminal.[1]

Bus contracting model

[edit]

Under the new bus contracting model, Kampong Bahru Bus Terminal is now under the Bukit Merah Bus Package, operated by SBS Transit. Two bus services serving this terminal, Bus Services 120 and 122, operates under this bus package. Bus Services 2, 12, 12e are under Loyang Bus Package, Bus Service 54 is under Bishan-Toa Payoh Bus Package, Bus Services 174 and 174e is under Clementi Bus Package and Bus 190 is under Choa Chu Kang-Bukit Panjang Bus Package.

Currently, Bus Services 54, 120, 122, 174 & 174e operate under SBS Transit, Bus Services 2, 12 & 12e operate under Go-Ahead Singapore and Bus Service 190 operates under SMRT.
