Singapore’s 9th integrated transport hub (ITH), the Bukit Panjang Integrated Transport Hub, will open in September, introducing seamless transfers between the new air-conditioned bus interchange and the Bukit Panjang MRT and LRT stations. The new ITH is fully integrated with Hillion Mall, providing commuters with additional convenience.
As part of the Land Transport Authority (LTA)’s efforts to create a more inclusive public transport system, the Bukit Panjang ITH is fully equipped with barrier-free facilities. It has dedicated boarding points at each berth and graduated kerb edges to facilitate boarding of buses by passengers in wheelchairs. To facilitate first-and-last-mile connectivity, LTA has installed 120 bicycle racks at the ITH. There are also barrier-free alighting areas, toilets, and priority queues with seats for the elderly and the less mobile at the concourse.
Bukit Panjang ITH will be managed by SMRT Buses Limited, which will introduce an interactive and open-concept passenger services counter where passengers can obtain information about the ITH and the bus services, as well as a traffic management system which detects bus movements from parking lots into the driveway.
