[3] [4] Then on 26 November 2023, in tandem with the opening of Jurong Town Hall Bus Interchange, Trunk service 870 was introduced to connect Tengah with Jurong East. [5]

When Tengah Bus Interchange commenced operations, both services 870 & 992 were extended to serve the interchange. In tandem with the interchange opening, a new bus service, Trunk service 871, was introduced to better connect Tengah with Bukit Batok West & Beauty World. [2] On the same day, Services 870 and 992 was extended to Tengah Bus Interchange, connecting residents to Jurong East and Bukit Batok. [6]

Tengah Bus Interchange was formerly named Tengah Boulevard Bus Interchange.[ citation needed ] However due to disapproval from Tengah residents, it was renamed Tengah Bus Interchange.[ citation needed ]
