New Tuas bus terminal to
open on Oct 7
SINGAPORE: The new Tuas bus terminal will open on Oct 7 along
Tuas West Drive, the Land Transport Authority said in a news
release on Friday (Sep 15).
The terminal will be integrated above the current Tuas MRT depot
and will have access ramps for buses leading to Tuas West Drive and
Tuas Link 4.
The four bus services operating from the existing Tuas bus
terminal - services 192, 193, 247 and 248 - will operate from the
new terminal, and will also no longer call at the bus stop along
Tuas West Drive once the new terminal is open.
The existing Tuas bus terminal will stop operating on Oct 7.
To better accommodate the elderly and those who are less mobile,
the terminal will have a priority queue zone and barrier-free
toilets, LTA said. There will also be "enhanced facilities" for bus
captains and staff members such as a staff lounge and dedicated
staff toilets.
It will also have two alighting areas and a boarding area.
