'', historically there was a bus terminal located within
Radin Mas named Kampong Bahru Bus Terminal.
The former bus terminal bears no relation to the contemporary bus terminal of the same name.
The current iteration of Kampong Bahru Bus Terminal was first announced on 23 May 2016, and was constructed and built on land formerly owned by
Malayan Railways.
The construction of the new bus terminal was intended to replace the former
New Bridge Road Bus Terminal, as the site would later be redeveloped into a new elective surgery centre by the
Singapore General Hospital.
The bus terminal was originally slated for opening by the end of 2017,
but it was then delayed to March 2018.
Opening
The terminal officially began operations on 10 March 2018, with existing services from
New Bridge Road Bus Terminal amended to serve the bus terminal on that day.
The terminal is located about 500 metres from the former site of
New Bridge Road Bus Terminal.
