History

Contract CT201 for the construction of Mandai MRT and Bus Depot was awarded to Jurong Primewide Pte Ltd of Singapore, at a contract sum of S$329 million.

When completed, the bus depot will be handed over to the successful tenderer of the Sembawang–Yishun Bus Package, consisting of 25 SMRT Buses services and 1 Tower Transit Singapore service. The depot will be handed over to the new Public Transport Operator for outfitting and preparatory works before operations can commence.[2]

On 30 September 2020, Tower Transit Singapore was awarded the package, and the depot will be handed over to Tower Transit in October 2020 before operation commences in September 2021.[3]
