Former Woodlands Bus Interchange (Republic of Singapore)

Woodlands Bus Interchange was established to serve the developing northern corridor of Singapore in the early-80s, and was strategically located next to the Woodlands Checkpoint & Customs, the gate to Johor, Malaysia. The bus interchange was based along Woodlands Centre Road, the former town centre of the then newly created Woodlands New Town. Woodlands had since grew to become one of the most prosperous new towns and her parent GRC, Sembawang GRC, became the largest single GRC in Singapore.
The announcement to build the North-South Line MRT extension and the Woodlands MRT Station that was scheduled to complete and open on 10 February 1996, accelerated plans to relocate and develop an entirely new town centre for Woodlands New Town at Woodlands Square, the new regional centre for Woodlands or more precisely, the entire Sembawang GRC. In late-1996, electronic display boards of TIBS buses serving the Woodlands Bus Interchange began to display notices that the TIBS Woodlands' fleet would be moving to the new interchange at Woodlands Square, Singapore's first mass underground bus interchange – Woodlands Regional Bus Interchange, conveniently located under the Woodlands MRT Station, and is connected to Causeway Point Shopping Centre with escalators.
