Beach Station Bus Terminal (also known as Beach Station Transfer Hub) is a bus terminal located in Sentosa Island, Singapore. It is located beside its namesake monorail station, Beach Station on the Sentosa Express, and under the Sentosa Express Monorail Depot, which serves as the upper floor. The terminal serves as a vital transportation node for both residents and visitors, providing access to various attractions, hotels, and residential areas on Sentosa Island.
Plans for Beach Station Bus Terminal first originated in the early development of Sentosa as a leisure destination. In the 1970s, the Singapore government planned to transform the island into a major tourist attraction. As part of this effort, Sentosa Development Corporation (SDC) was established in 1972[3] to oversee the development and management of Sentosa.
Over the years, as Sentosa gained popularity and experienced an increase in tourist arrivals, the demand for transportation services grew. To cope with increasing number of visitors, the Sentosa Monorail commenced operations in 1987,[4] but later in the 2000s, due to increasing cost of maintenance and bad service, it ceased operations. Later, to cope with the evolving needs of visitors, the Sentosa Express was opened on 15 January 2007 and Beach Station Bus Terminal opened in tandem with it.

Sentosa Bus Reorganisationedit
Originally, Beach Station Bus Terminal was served by internal bus services such as Sentosa Buses 1 and 2, which served Siloso Point and Resorts World Sentosa, and Sentosa Bus 3, which served Sentosa Cove and Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa. However, as part of the Sentosa Bus Reorganisation, Sentosa Buses 1 was replaced with Sentosa Bus A, while Sentosa Bus 3 was replaced with Sentosa Bus B, plying the same route but not serving Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa. Sentosa Buses 1, 2 and 3 ceased operations on 29 July 2017, and Buses A and B commenced operations on the following day. Sentosa Bus C, which has a route identical to Sentosa Bus 2, commenced operations on 1 October 2019
On 30 July 2017, Trunk route bus service 123 was extended to Beach Station Bus Terminal. It is the first and currently the only mainland trunk route serving Sentosa.[5]
