The Punggol Coast Bus Interchange will commence operations on June 29, according to a press release from the Land Transport Authority (LTA).
The new interchange will initially house three bus services — 34, 117 and 117M — which were previously based in Punggol Bus Interchange near Punggol MRT Station.
Additionally, Service 35 will be extended to serve Punggol Central, Sumang Walk, Sumang Link and Punggol Way, while Service 117/M will be extended to serve Punggol Place, Sentul Crescent and Sentul Walk.

According to LTA, these extensions will “improve connectivity within Punggol and provide residents with direct inter-town connectivity to destinations such as Changi Airport, Tampines and Yishun”.
Located within the Punggol Digital District (PDD), the interchange is integrated with Punggol Coast MRT Station along the North-East Line and the 290,600 sq ft Punggol Coast Mall, which opened its doors in March.
The new interchange is expected to serve the larger PDD, including the Singapore Institute of Technology campus and eight business park towers that will add about 1.9 million sq ft of net lettable office space.
Three HDB estates are currently within a 500m radius of the interchange — the 940-unit Punggol Point Woods; the 1,172-unit Punggol Point Cove; and the 1,545-unit Punggol Point Crown.
There are no private residential projects in the surrounding areas
