Future bus services departing from the interchange will be added to cater for further developments in Sengkang down the line, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said in a statement on Thursday (Feb 23).

In addition to the new bus service, LTA said the interchange was designed to be as inclusive as possible.

There will be dedicated boarding points with graduated kerb edges at each bus queue to enable wheelchair bound passengers to board buses easier.

In addition, the interchange will have priority queues for the elderly and disabled, standalone nursing rooms with diaper changing amenities and a wash basin, and 40 bicycle racks.

Services operating from the existing Sengkang Bus Interchange will not be affected.
