Toa Payoh HDB Hub Interchange: 19th May 2002.
Ang Mo Kio Temp Interchange: 24th March 2002.
Hougang Central Interchange: Sometime in 2001. -
Bishan was opened in 1987. HG Central was opened much earlier, but moved to the temporary one due to NEL construction, correct?Originally posted by service_238:Just some dates..

It was at its original site before moving to the one beside Hougang Plaza due to NEL. Once construction was done, it moved back to its current site which is the original one.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Bishan was opened in 1987.

[b]St Michael's Terminal (Whampoa & Balestier Estates)
Old, dirty, small, no boarding facilities (all terminals/interchanges should have boarding/alighting facilities in my opinion)

I did not say you could not alight there, but since there was absolutely no one in the terminal, I assumed no boarding was allowed.Originally posted by ipodee:i lived next to the bus terminal for 19 years...didnt know you couldnt board or alight there when i did that almost everyday in the past -

So it was used for 2-3 years, then closed, then rebuilt and reopened in 2001?Originally posted by tranquilice:Hougang Central interchange opened in 1994. -
There was once when there was both Hougang Ctrl Ter and Hougang Ctrl Int in 1999 - 2000. One had boarding and alighting facilities but one doesn't. It happened during the rebuilding of Hougang Ctrl Int is it?Originally posted by SBS9818A:So it was used for 2-3 years, then closed, then rebuilt and reopened in 2001? -
I believe is was what happened.Originally posted by freakybuses:There was once when there was both Hougang Ctrl Ter and Hougang Ctrl Int in 1999 - 2000. One had boarding and alighting facilities but one doesn't. It happened during the rebuilding of Hougang Ctrl Int is it?
Permanent location (the current HGC Interchange) was renamed to HGC Terminus. The temporary location was named HGC Interchange.
The temporary location had boarding and alighting facilities as well as a bus park.
The permanent location did not allow boarding and alighting and was used as a bus park.
Buses heading towards North-bound Upper Serangoon Road such as 74 and 147 (I think 165 too) used the bus stop along Upper Serangoon Road as their boarding berth. -

Ok reason why the St Micheal Terminal doesn't have much passengers is that the Whampoa services goes one whole round while going in and also people who are living near the terminal could walk another 50 to 100m to the bus stop opposite NKF buliding to save money.
[b]St Michael's Terminal (Whampoa & Balestier Estates)
Old, dirty, small, no boarding facilities (all terminals/interchanges should have boarding/alighting facilities in my opinion) Boon Lay Interchange (Jurong West Town)
Crowded and cramped, need to divert bus services or expand the interchange! Bedok Interchange (Bedok Town)
Needs upgrading, better than the two above but still old and crowded. Changi Airport PTB 1 & 2 (Changi Airport)
Should be moved to open air area so ADDs and bendies can be used...maybe on the one the empty clearings on airport ground... plus current basements too small for expansion Clementi Interchange (Clementi Town)
Worst interchange in Singapore, barely enough space to walk, super cramped, tiny, and dirty... Sengkang Interchange (Sengkang Town)
Too small for future expansion. Eunos Interchange (Eunos, Aljunied & Geylang Estates)
Like the Kuala Lumpur Airport, much too big for its services, interchange has very few people despite the long boarding berths...[/b]
Present rule by CAAS for Changi Airport terminals (Limits can be seen on a bus entering Chnagi Airport Terminals|)
Changi Airport Terminal one PTB can contain Double decks but Terminal two cannot contain Double Decks. Terminal one doesn't allow 3 axle buses but Terminal two can have 3 axle buses provided that CAAS has a new ruling for Terminal two cos its quite staright with genlte bends. Hope that the new Terminal 3 has a new bus terminal that replaces the present two.
Clementi really needs a rebulit but here were plans fordemolishing the HDB flats and shops beside it and rebulit the present interchange inrto a Air-contidtioned interchange. Hope they also clear and level the lightly forested area beside the int.
Bedok also really needs a re bulit. Suggestion is that use the lightly-forested area beside it for the temporary interchange
Boon Lay int can be extended to the small area of land beside it(not the big one beside BNL MRT station) -
165 did not use that bus stop. The buses that used the current interchange as their bus park were 74 147 501 502.Originally posted by Yusry:Buses heading towards North-bound Upper Serangoon Road such as 74 and 147 (I think 165 too) used the bus stop along Upper Serangoon Road as their boarding berth. -

rest were from HCG Int.
Hougang Plaza bus stop is the first bus stop for these services.
if i'm not wrong the shelter that HGC has now did not exist during HGC ter days... just before current HGC reopened, the HGC Ter shelter was torn down. -
The interchange shifted to the temporary interchange beside Hougang Plaza in early 1998, and was then became a bus park for 4 services. Part of the interchange shelter was demolished to build one of the entrance of Hougang MRT station.Originally posted by SBS9818A:So it was used for 2-3 years, then closed, then rebuilt and reopened in 2001? -
If I remember correctly, the shelther from berth 2 to berth 3 remained intact, the shelter from berth 4 to berth 6 was demolished and later rebulit, the shelter at the alighting area and berth 1 did not exist when the interchange opened in 1994, that part of the shelter was bulit together with the part from berth 4 to berth 6.Originally posted by service_238:74 147 501 502 were from HGC Ter.

Ok, I get it now. So the Sv. 153 / Sv. 107 berth, the Sv. 51 berth and Sv. 165 berth shelters were demolish?
