To accommodate the growing fleet of buses plying Singapore’s roads under the expanded Bus Service Enhancement Programme, a new bus depot will be built off Boon Lay Way.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) is calling for contractors to submit their cost proposals to build the Ulu Pandan bus depot along Business Park Drive. The tender will be awarded to the most cost-efficient contractor.
The depot will accommodate 500 buses and will be equipped with facilities for daily bus operations, bus repair/maintenance, bus parking, offices, rest area for bus drivers and canteen.
Since 2012, two bus parks have been built at Upper Changi Road East and Woodlands, while two bus depots are currently under construction – the Bulim Bus Depot and Loyang Bus Depot.
By 2017, there will be 1,000 buses on the road which will enhance connectivity and improve bus service levels.
