New bus service to link Choa Chu Kang to CBD

SINGAPORE: Residents in Choa Chu Kang will soon have a new bus service to the Central Business District (CBD).

A new parallel service, Service 982E, will begin operations from Monday, 18 March.

SMRT said the service will run during morning and evening peak hours on weekdays, excluding public holidays.

The transport operator added that the service offers commuters not only more convenience, but also gives them an alternative travel option on top of other bus services, the LRT, and the MRT.

This is the eighth bus service to be rolled out under the Land Transport Authority’s Bus Service Enhancement Programme.

Service 982E will operate two one—way trips on weekday mornings at 7.40 am and 7.50 am from Choa Chu Kang Avenue 5, Choa Chu Kang Avenue 4, Choa Chu Kang Way, Choa Chu Kang Avenue 1 and Teck Whye Avenue to areas within the CBD such as Anson Road, Robinson Road and Marina Boulevard.

On weekday evenings, two one—way trips at 6.15 pm and 6.30 pm will connect commuters from areas such as Central Boulevard and Shenton Way to the Choa Chu Kang neighbourhoods.
