Bus Depots/UrbanHubs
UrbanLinkz maintains its fleet of more than 1000 buses regularly at two depots located in Woodlands and Teck Whye. A third depot is currently under construction in Jurong. More than just being bus depots, shops and facilities for the public have been added as well, a first of its kind in Singapore. Named UrbanHub, these small neighbourhood centres have turned into lifestyle hubs for the residents staying nearby. This concept has succeeded in bringing us extra non-fare revenue, helping us keep our bus fares low for our valued customers.

The first and biggest UrbanLinkz bus depot, it also boasts being the site of the company's headquarters and the first of its kind to feature facilities and shops within its seven-storey building made available for the public. Aimed at serving the Republic Polytechnic students as well as the residents staying nearby, it has become a focal point in the area and help boost our non-fare revenue.
It is also an architecture jewel; with a glass facade facing Woodlands Avenue 9. Surrounding the compound is a miniature river accompanied by vegetation, which, together with soundproofed walls and a rooftop garden, helps to reduce noise pollution from our buses as well as reduce average temperatures of the surroundings. A plus point for bus spotters, there is a dedicated mini viewing gallery at level two where buses can be seen being washed and maintained by our staff. It is also known to be a good spot for taking photos of the buses.
