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
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]
