Tampines Bus Interchange (abbreviated as TBI in this article) is a bus station in Tampines, Singapore. It serves as the primary bus interchange for Tampines New Town, with feeder and trunk services operating at high frequencies. It is owned by the Land Transport Authority and operated by SBS Transit Ltd.

The TBI serves as a terminus and departure point for commuter routes, and is a major transit hub for Tampines residents. It complements the high-capacity rail network[1] and acts as a key node in the hub-and-spoke transport model.[2][3] With 23 bus services operating from the interchange[4] serving an estimated 325,000 passengers daily, it is the fourth busiest bus interchange in Singapore.[5]
