Six new bus services will be launched across Singapore over the next two months, improving transport links for residents in areas such as Bukit Panjang, Punggol, and Tengah. In addition, five new City Direct Services – express buses that connect housing estates directly to the city – will be introduced in the north-eastern region by the end of 2025. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) also announced that two existing routes, services 114 and 146, will be extended to better serve commuters.
These enhancements are part of the LTA’s $900 million Bus Connectivity Enhancement Programme, an eight-year initiative designed to strengthen the island’s public transport network, particularly in newer housing estates. Acting Transport Minister Jeffrey Siow said the new services aim to give residents living farther from the city more commuting options, including faster and more direct routes to key MRT stations.
