(CT5) Kuan Tao Airport

**Kuan Tao Airport** **Bus** **Terminal** is a bus terminal that is located along Kuan Tao Airport Road, integrated with Kuan Tao Airport. It consists of five boarding and alighting berths, nine layover lots, and 21 coach lots marked in blue. There is one point of entry and exit for the terminal, Kuan Tao Airport Road. Most bus services loop in the terminal, with Services 53A and 56 terminating there. Service 330 serves the terminal twice, towards Lorong Jelapang and Vistaris Interchange. The terminal is integrated with the MRT station and PTB, with a teleporter towards entrance 2 of the building. The terminal is designed with a sky cloud design. There are no alighting berths, alighting is done at the boarding berths. A special lane for Service 56 was created to allow Service 56 to enter the boarding berths after layover without exiting and reentering the terminal.

Kuan Tao Airport Terminal was opened in early 2018, integrated together with Kuan Tao Airport as a basement terminal. On March 2019, the terminal underwent minor renovations. On 20 June 2022, the bus terminal shifted out of the basement to a temporary site outside of the airport terminal. The terminal reopened its underground operations on 23 December 2022, coinciding with the opening of the Central MRT Line.

Currently, **Go-Ahead Singapore** is the anchor operator of Kuan Tao Airport Terminal.

## Previous Terminal

Prior to 20 June 2022, **Kuan Tao Airport Bus Terminal** was an underground bus terminal integrated with Kuan Tao Airport PTB. The entrance to Kuan Tao Airport Terminal had a cross junction, requiring buses to give way when proceeding. The terminal does not have a height restriction, allowing double-decker buses in the terminal. During the COVID-19 pandemic, despite no flights out of Kimx Town, the terminal remained open.

### Temporary Relocation (June - December 2022)

As part of renovation and upgrading works to Kuan Tao Airport, the underground bus terminal was closed off and relocated to a temporary site beneath Kimx Expressway. A a result, a section of Kuan Tao Airport Road towards the cross junction was cordoned off, with layover and berth service roads paved, and Kuan Tao Airport Road only allowed buses. As only buses are allowed along Kuan Tao Airport Road, bus services towards the airport gained popularity. As a result, more services started to deploy double-decker buses. An extra Kuan Tao Airport sign was installed on the former cross junction. The terminal was closed and cordoned off on 23 December 2022, with the reopening of the current terminal.

#### Temporary Site

The temporary site consisted of four boarding and alighting berths and eight coach lots marked in blue. There was one point of entry and exit for the terminal, Kuan Tao Airport Road. The terminal used a similar temporary bus terminal design to Upper Kimx Coast Terminal, with no path connections to the PTB. A separate lane was built for coaches.

### Upgrading Works

Upgrade works to the airport and terminal include the construction of a new slip road and taxi stand along Kuan Tao Airport Road and unearthing works to facilitate renovation of the bus terminal. The terminal was reopened on 23 December 2022.
