The new SBS Transit bus service 460 started service that day to serve residents of Tampines GreenGlade, GreenGlen, and GreenCrest.<\/p>\n

Its route took it back and forth, a 2.4km route from Tampines Interchange.<\/p>\n

Bus service 460 serves a similar area to the existing bus service 296, but takes a more direct route and skips five stops for a shorter commute.<\/p>\n
