A new bus service, 871, will connect Tengah to Bukit Batok West, Bukit Gombak and Beauty World, connecting Tengah residents to the North-South Line at Bukit Gombak MRT Station and the Downtown Line at Beauty World MRT Station.
The bus service will also connect to schools in Bukit Batok and Bukit Gombak – Dazhong Primary School, Lianhua Primary School, Keming Primary Schools and Hillgrove Secondary School – and key amenities such as the neighbourhood centres in Bukit Gombak and Bukit Batok East, and Bukit Gombak Stadium.
Information on bus services 870, 871 and 992 will be available at all relevant bus stops, bus interchanges and Tower Transit Singapore website. Commuters can also approach public transport staff for assistance.
Tengah Bus Interchange has been designed to be inclusive, catering to families with young children, seniors and those with mobility challenges. It will feature barrier-free access at entrances and a dedicated priority queue zone with seating at all boarding berths.
Other facilities include wheelchair-accessible toilets and changing room, and a baby care room. These facilities are equipped with auto-sliding doors operated by touchless sensors. The baby care and changing rooms have audio cues to alert users when the doors are opening and closing.
There is also a commuter care room for those who might require a quiet and calming space.
