I live in woodlands and I'm so excited for this to open

[@aminahbintieayob5177]

i know righ

[@aminahbintieayob5177]

right*

[@shahirwan111]

Interesting.. the new road marking at the end of the video

[@TransportationONLY]

Indeed, the road markings are different now even the traffic light shows arrows instead of a full circle(for the green light)

[@valkyrieasyraf]

When I was still in Training back then, I drove the Citaro SMB141L to Bukit Panjang ITH and do a Route Familiarisation service for 973, twiced from March 2022. Should had spotted from someone for that very epic moment - (because Citaro's don't run on BPJ service. Even other BC's & Interchange Staff was curiously lost at first, seeing it entered BPITH). P.s : Not the kind of fleet (O530 Citaro) to use for BPJ revenue service area. Underpowered-chunky and struggling for certain road hill climbing situations.

[@valkyrieasyraf]

I drove the SMB136C during the beginning of my Intermediate Training, to Woodlands Temporary Bus Interchange and joy ride around. Hehehe

[@glitchFan2428]

Haha lucky you! It must have been very enjoyable 👍🏻

[@AmbientWalking]

This video is perfect! Really liked it! Thanks so much!

[@s.a.maqeed452]

Interesting... Can't wait to see it.

[@josephinthechickensoup123]

It would be nice if theres a green lush citaro with a SMRT spec interior

[@lzh4950]

Meanwhile in the time Woodlands Bus Interchange was being *renovated* CapitaLand managed to *rebuild* Funan with ~2 years to spare ;)

[@TransportationONLY]

True, I think the Woodlands regional bus interchange was suppose to open in 2019 alongside with the Thomson East Coast Line, however as we know the Thomson East Cost Line was delayed(mysteriously), and the bus interchange opening date has also been delayed but I feel that in 2021 it’s taking too long to open. But then again we don’t really know what’s really going on so we just gotta wait and see.

[@Zindineguardiola]

@@TransportationONLY yes everything is true

[@metallica-fan]

A number of at least 30 and more buses were seen parked at those bays at the new interchange today. Afterwards, few of them exited the interchange and perhaps proceeded to the depot near Senoko...

[@YHTheGamer]

Managed to take a glimpse for SMB136C and SMB1H at Chong Pang in Yishun, now SMB136C is at Upgraded Woodlands Regional Interchange and is expected to be opened soon, can't wait!

Yup, sure signs that the interchange is finally going to reopen soon. As a Woodlands resident I've been waiting 5 years for this.

[@AtinzMizuki]

Finally after so long. O530 Citaros are finally going to do Woodlands Feeder Services. I've been waiting for them since childhood. Fuiyohhhh, 11 citaros are in WLDEP, i saw one today.

[@glitchFan2428]

For now they are all on 178

[@StatisticsRepublic]

Interesting!

[@kancheongspidergaming]

I wont miss that temp int, gridlocks to hell during peak hours plus bumpy ass roads that even after countless patchings doesn't entirely resolve the issue.

[@SGrailadventure2004]

Must be prepared for that simliar problem in the new interchange.

[@kancheongspidergaming]

@@SGrailadventure2004 yeah to be fair given that I hail from Tampines I shouldn't be surprised cause Woodlands is the northern regional hub and therefore should expect heavier bus traffic, and that Tampines is the eastern regional hub.

[@SGCandSGYProductions]

I think this new woodlands interchange is going to open on this September after some bus services in Mandai bus package at woodlands change to tower transit

[@36_snaps]

YAY!

[@normanschlongdongovic4124]

West and East need this half underground interchange with many parking lots..WRI got at least 175lots

[@user-ej3hz1ml3x]

True half underground int might be old fash but it saves space and has more lot capacity better than ith lol the temp one not good

[@mitsukiusagiliftbus6852]

Nice

[@TransportationONLY]

I saw SMB141L in there on 11 March 2021. Exactly 1 day before it’s 5 year anniversary of closure. However the EDS on the bus shows 913. I think it’s just a test.

[@SGTransportCam]

Interesting, should go there and spot

So basically after 5 years of Woodlands Regional Bus Interchange being closed, now they are preparing the bus captains for them to be familiarise with the interchange so they won’t get confused during the day it reopens. Right?

[@shuchew6458]

The old look of the interchange is btr more nostalgic feel

[@shuchew6458]

But too bad.no.more bendy bus parking lots

SMB136C is also the only bus to have inward-swinging exit doors.
