Punggol Coast Bus Interchange is connected to Punggol Coast MRT (NE18) and Punggol Coast Mall. Look for the bus interchange signs when you arrive in Punggol Digital District. Services 34, 117 and 117M use the interchange, but which one makes sense depends on the stop you need and when you are travelling.
For SIT Punggol Campus, the university directs MRT passengers to Exit 1. For a bus from the Coast to Waterway Point, check service 34 and the stop named Punggol Stn/Waterway Pt. For One Punggol, look for a service towards the Sentul Crescent side and confirm the exact stop and direction on the day.
- Interchange · Punggol Coast, beside NE18 and the mall.
- 34 · Check the Punggol Central stop by Waterway Point and the route via the Sumang area.

- SIT · From the MRT, Exit 1 for direct campus access.
Find the interchange and the right berth
Follow the interchange signs rather than a generic pin for the entire mall. If you are already in Punggol Coast MRT, decide whether you need the bus interchange or an exit towards your destination. A visitor who only needs the SIT campus can follow the university’s Exit 1 directions. A commuter transferring to a bus should check the berth displays.
The other interchange in Punggol is at the town centre beside NE17. Send the full name and station number when meeting another passenger. If someone starts at the town-centre interchange by mistake, the MRT runs one station farther north to Punggol Coast.
Take bus 34 towards Waterway Point or the Sumang area
The outbound service 34 route from the Coast includes stops along Punggol Way, Sumang Link and Sumang Walk before Punggol Central. The published stop by Waterway Point is Punggol Stn/Waterway Pt, code 65251. Check the current stop list and the side of the road before starting the return journey.
When the train is the simpler choice
If your only destination is Waterway Point and you are already at NE18, compare the bus with one stop on the North East Line. The bus is useful if you want an intermediate stop or are already waiting at a suitable bus stop. For a visit that starts at an address in Sumang, compare the nearest stop and final walking distance as well as the trip time.
Check 117 and 117M before travelling
Current route listings show 117 and 117M linking Punggol Coast and Sembawang. Check which variant is running when you leave. SimplyGo lists 117M for specified weekday morning and evening periods. Use the live planner for that day and direction rather than relying on a saved schedule.
For One Punggol and the sport centre
The route information shows a stop called Opp One Punggol (65481) on Sentul Crescent when travelling away from the Coast on 117M. Check the route and direction before boarding 117 or 117M. From the stop, use the designated pedestrian route and the specific address for your destination. One Punggol is at 1 Punggol Drive. ActiveSG Punggol Sport Centre is at 11 Sentul Crescent.
Plan a reliable trip to a timed campus event
Use your organiser’s building and room details along with SIT’s wayfinder. If you arrive by bus, set the last part of your route from the interchange to your meeting point. Leave time for the walk and for finding the correct level. A map pin at the centre of campus gives less useful directions than a named building entrance.
On the return trip, look up the destination and departure before choosing between bus and MRT. For Sembawang, check the service variant first. For a town-centre connection or a quick meeting at Waterway Point, compare the station-to-station route with the bus and choose whichever fits your starting point.
