List of bus stations in Singapore

This is a list of bus interchanges, terminals and depots that are part of Singapore's bus system. Bus terminals and interchanges serve as important nodes in the transport system as bus services start and end at these stations. Over time, there are several bus stations that have been shut down due to geographical retention, introduction of new town centres, or creation of consolidated transportation hubs. The list of former bus stations are found here.

Overview
In the 1970s with the formation of Singapore Bus Service (SBS), the terminals of private companies were inherited by SBS. Many of these terminals were makeshift constructions without adequate facilities. The SBS embarked on a terminal improvement programme to build facilities such as more parking space, timekeeper's booths, rest areas for bus crew members, proper platforms with adequate shelter, toilets and food facilities. It also planned to construct new depots and terminals, so as to eliminate parking of buses in residential areas. Makeshift and roadside terminals were to be phased out. The development of bus terminals was closely linked to town planning in Singapore. Densely inhabited new towns were built along major roads and a bus terminal was allocated at a suitable point inside each of them. Feeder services were used to carry passengers within the new towns to the bus terminal. With the opening of the MRT system in 1987, bus terminals were sited close to subway stations so as to integrate the subway and bus services. The 1980s also saw the building of larger bus interchanges in new towns, such as the one at Ang Mo Kio which was twice the size of the existing terminal it replaced. ==List of bus interchanges==
List of bus interchanges
There are currently 32 bus interchanges in Singapore, served by four bus operators, with three more under construction and seven more under planning. Lor 1 Geylang Bus Terminal and Upper East Coast Bus Terminal were replaced by Kallang Bus Interchange (Rebuilt as Integrated Transport Hub) and Bedok South Bus Interchange. To improve seamless connectivity with the rail network, selected interchanges in housing estates are slowly being rebuilt as Integrated Transport Hubs (ITHs). }Punggol Expansion to existing interchanges Tampines Concourse Bus Interchange is a bus interchange located along Tampines Concourse in Tampines. First announced by the Land Transport Authority in November 2014, it serves as an extension of Tampines Bus Interchange. It commenced operations on 18 December 2016.

List of bus terminals
Bus terminals are distinct from bus interchanges in Singapore. While bus interchanges are often air-conditioned and integrated with other connecting MRT lines, with some also part of Integrated Transport Hubs, bus terminals are a lot more bare-bones with only a small number of bus berths available. Additionally, not all bus terminals allow for boarding or alighting at the terminal. Buona Vista Bus Terminal Buona Vista Bus Terminal (location:) is located at Holland Drive in Buona Vista estate in Queenstown. The terminal is located adjacent to Buona Vista Community Centre, and close to Buona Vista MRT station. Unlike most other terminals, it does not allow passenger boarding or alighting on the site itself. Due to the construction of the Commonwealth Avenue extension in the 1970s, a portion of the terminal was affected, resulting in the creation of a temporary terminal at Holland Drive. The temporary Holland Drive terminal (located next to the City Shuttle Service terminus), started operating in November 1975 for certain bus routes. In 1982, SBS had to vacate the Commonwealth Avenue terminal and move to a temporary terminal named North Buona Vista Terminal. By the late 1980s, the present Buona Vista terminal had become operational, and bus services to the nearby Ayer Rajah Industrial Estate were introduced. Jurong Island Bus Terminal Jurong Island Bus Terminal (location: ) is located at the southwest of Jurong Island, serving the only form of public transport on the offshore island off the southwest coast of the main island. The terminal was located near Oasis@Sakra, the amenity centre on the island. Initially, JTC provided shuttle bus services to and from Jurong East MRT station. Later, SBS started public bus services to Jurong Island. In 2002, two Jurong Island services were notable for being the first routes to use CNG powered buses in Singapore. However, SBS later stopped operating these services. Since then, transportation to the island has been provided by private companies. Kent Ridge Bus Terminal Kent Ridge Bus Terminal is located in the Kent Ridge subzone of Queenstown. It sits at a corner of Eusoff Hall of the National University of Singapore (NUS), serving the NUS campus and residential developments around Pasir Panjang and West Coast. Apart from regular public bus services, NUS Internal Shuttle Bus routes also call at the terminal. Lorong 1 Geylang Bus Terminal Lorong 1 Geylang Bus Terminal (location: ) is located in Kallang. It sits between Geylang Road and Sims Avenue, opposite Kallang MRT station and beside the Kallang River. The terminal was originally a fringe car park. In 1975, it was planned as a Park and Ride terminal. Under the Park and Ride scheme, drivers could park their cars and then ride the City Shuttle Service to the Central Business District. The services ran daily (except Sunday) during peak hours for 50 cents a ride. However, the Park and Ride Scheme did not prove to be very popular. Due to low ridership, the terminal was converted to a public bus terminal in 1988 and continued running under SMRT Buses (and later on Tower Transit from 3 October 2021). In 1998, Crawford Street Bus Terminal was shut down and its bus services were relocated to this terminal. Lorong 1 Geylang Bus Terminal housed some of the last DAF buses, which were in use by SMRT Buses, as reported in November 2015. The terminal will be decommissioned in tandem with the opening of the nearby Kallang Bus Interchange. Queen Street Bus Terminal Queen Street Bus Terminal (location: ), also known as Ban San Bus Terminal, serves as the terminal for cross-border bus and taxi services to Johor Bahru, Malaysia. It opened on 13 October 1985. Upper East Coast Bus Terminal Upper East Coast Terminal (location: ) is located along Upper East Coast Road in Bedok. The terminal was opened in 2001 after the closure of Marine Parade Bus Terminal. In April 2017, services 25 & 55 were extended to this terminal from Bedok and Siglap Road, respectively, after the terminal expansion was completed in 2017. The expansion of the Upper East Coast Bus Terminal. along with Hougang Central and Punggol bus interchanges, were carried out to accommodate new services under the Bus Service Enhancement Programme (BSEP). Upper East Coast Terminal will be decommissioned around the mid-2030s, in tandem with the opening of the nearby Bedok South Bus Interchange. The site is planned to be redeveloped into a park. ==List of bus depots==
