Integrated Transport Hubs (ITHs)
This idea was first conceived of in the 1990s by the Urban Redevelopment Authority. An integrated transport hub (ITH) encompasses an air-conditioned bus interchange, a shopping mall and a MRT/LRT station which is either located inside the building if it is underground or adjacent to it if it is elevated. There are currently six such hubs, namely, the HDB Hub, Compass Point Shopping Centre, Ang Mo Kio Hub, Jurong Point Shopping Mall, nex and Clementi Mall. Upcoming hubs in Singapore are Bedok Mall, Westgate and Tampines Gateway.

Famous quotes containing the words integrated, transport and/or hubs:
“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“He sent for lancewood to make the thills;
The crossbars were ash, from the straightest trees;
The panels of white-wood, that cuts like cheese,
But lasts like iron for things like these;
The hubs of logs from the “Settler’s ellum,”—
Last of its timber,—they couldn’t sell ‘em,”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
