Sungei Seletar Bus Depot is the sixth bus depot to be built by the Land Transport Authority. It is located off Yio Chu Kang Road and houses 24 existing services and two new services to announced closer to the commencement date, under the Seletar Bus Package.

To be completed in 2017, the new bus depot is able to accommodate about 500 buses and be equipped with facilities for daily bus operations, bus maintenance and a rest area for bus drivers. An access road will also be built to serve the depot.

History

On 7 June 2016, the Land Transport Authority called for tenders to operate 26 routes based at Ang Mo Kio Bus Interchange, Yio Chu Kang Bus Interchange, and Yishun Bus Interchange out of the new depot as part of its new contracting model. The bus services will be operated by the successful tenderer for a service term of five years, with a possible two-year extension based on good performance. This bus package will be implemented in two tranches from the first half of 2018.
