History

Announced by LTA on 29 May 2013, the bus depot will be the second depot that LTA is developing and funding, as part of the review of the enhanced structural assistance that Government is providing the bus industry announced in Committee of Supply (COS) 2012. The depot is intended to accommodate the additional buses that it is bringing in over the next few years. The operator's existing bus depots and bus park are reaching full capacity, and the new facility is necessary to support the higher number of buses as the overall bus capacity is progressively increased under the Bus Service Enhancement Programme (BSEP). On 11 December 2015, LTA handed the depot to Go-Ahead Singapore Pte Ltd for the operator to prepare for operations, as well as the recruitment and training of bus captains and technicians, to support a smooth transition.
