St Michael's Bus Terminal[a] is a bus terminus in Novena, Singapore. It is located in the subzone of Balestier, between Whampoa River and Whampoa Road, near the junction with Kim Keat Road.
History
[edit]Opened sometime between 1980 and 1985,[2] the bus terminal was named after the nearby Saint Michael's Estate neighbourhood at Jalan Tenteram, most of which has since been demolished.[3]
In May 1985, a reader of The Straits Times and Whampoa resident reported on the troublesome amount of smoke and noise generated as a result of buses having to loop around the neighborhood to enter and leave the bus terminal.[2] In October 1995, a few World War II-era bombs were discovered 50 m (160 ft) away from the bus terminal.[4]
In April 2013, as part of the five-year Bus Service Enhancement Programme,[5] a contract worth S$1.69 million was awarded for the upgrading of the bus terminal's facilities.[6]
Bus contracting model
[edit]Under the bus contracting model, all bus services operating from St Michael's Bus Terminal were divided into 3 bus packages.
