History

The interchange was first announced in 2006, together with the extension of the East West line to Joo Koon. It was meant to improve accessibility to the Tuas area as well as reduce overcrowding at the Boon Lay Bus Interchange.[3]

To ensure smooth traffic flow around the facility, the LTA expanded the roads surrounding it to increase their capacity.[4] The interchange began operations on 21 November 2015 and done in three phases to reduce inconvenience to commuters.[1] It is the 8th air-conditioned bus interchange in Singapore.[5] A further change was made on 18 June 2017 with the opening of Tuas West Extension, while the service 256 and 258 were being merged into service 258, reducing the number of services in the interchange to 7.[6] On 8 April 2018, Service 974 was introduced between Joo Koon Bus Interchange & Bukit Panjang, increasing the number of services in the interchange back to 8.
