The PAP dropped in an election pamphlet this evening at my door,
and in it they outlined a plan for rejuvenating Yishun Town Centre,
which includes an air-conditioned transport hub. There were also
concept art of the new town centre, with a new shopping mall and a
bazaar place. The old blocks of flats surrounding the current
interchange seems to have been gone.
It does seem like that they plan to do this within the next five
years, so if the PAP is voted in here, expect a new bus interchange
for Yishun soon.
I just wonder where the temporary interchange might be - the
patch of open space beside Yishun 10, on the other side of Yishun
Central 1 - looks like a likely place. The patch of land beside
Yishun MRT station could be a better place to locate the temporary
interchange though, in my opinion.
Interestingly, the concept art shows SBS Transit buses at the
new Yishun Interchange. Imagine - SBS Transit taking over Yishun
bus routes
