Commuters passing through the interchange can now take a moment to admire these snapshots of everyday life, adding a touch of inspiration to their journeys.
Promoting healthy & active living
Beyond the art installations, the launch event also spotlighted the importance of healthy and active lifestyles.
To support this effort, SBS Transit signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the National University Health System (NUHS) to promote active ageing and healthier living.
Under the partnership, future wellness programmes and activities will be rolled out at MRT stations and bus interchanges.
The event was made possible with the support of community partners such as Bidadari Community Club, Cedar Girls’ Secondary School, Families for Life, the Health Promotion Board, and many others.
In their Facebook post, SBS Transit described the new interchange as “more than a place to catch your next bus”.
It is envisioned as a vibrant community space where residents can come together, explore, and enjoy shared activities.
Recent flurry of activity at bus interchanges
The Woodleigh Bus Interchange opening adds to a growing number of recent initiatives across Singapore’s transport network.
On 14 May, commuters and staff at Toa Payoh Bus Interchange were welcomed by a 1970s-themed Coffee Bus.
Launched by the National Transport Workers’ Union (NTWU), Land Transport Authority (LTA), and operators like SBS Transit, the activation was part of SG60 and May Day celebrations.

Managed by Go-Ahead Singapore, it is directly connected to the newly operational Punggol Coast MRT station, which began operations on 10 Dec 2024.
