The new supplementary service is part of a $900 million programme to enhance the public bus network.
The new bus service will provide faster connections by serving only selected bus stops along the regular route of its parent service.
Public transport operator SBS Transit , which will run the new express feeder service, said on Nov 18 that 298X will provide faster connections by serving only selected bus stops along the regular route of its parent service. According to SBST’s route map, 298X will call at the bus stop opposite Block 648A, and bus stops at Block 641A and Block 637B – the same as 298.
In Tampines West, 298X will call at stops in Tampines Street 86 and at the stop opposite the Tropica condominium, before heading back directly to Tampines Central, and then back to Tampines North, with a few more stops along the way. “With fewer intermediate stops, this new service will reduce travel times and improve connectivity across the neighbourhood,” he added.
