Express Public Buses Linking Bukit Batok West Extension to Central Business District

Mr Leong Mun Wai asked the Minister for Transport (a) whether LTA has considered launching express public buses from Bukit Batok West Extension to the Central Business District; and (b) if not, why not.

Mr Chee Hong Tat: Bukit Batok West Extension residents who prefer to travel by express bus services to the Central Business District (CBD) on weekday mornings can take Service 991 or 992 to Bukit Batok West Avenue 3 and connect to express Services 174e or 868E.

As an alternative, residents can also take Services 941, 991, 992 or 993 to either Bukit Batok or Jurong East Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) stations, and use the MRT to travel to the CBD.
