Singapore Buses route 43M

Service 43M is a trunk service plying between Punggol Interchange and Orchard Road, passing through Sengkang East Road, Buangkok MRT, Montfort School, Buangkok Green, Yio Chu Kang Road, Upper Serangoon Road, Little India and Dhoby Ghaut. It is a route variant of Service 43, introduced under the Bus Service Enhancement Programme (BSEP) and launching on Sunday, 16 November 2014.

It relieves demand and improves reliability of bus services for commuters along Service 43’s most crowded stretches of route. It will be launched on Sunday, 16 November 2014. It uses single decker buses and double decker buses. The service operates daily from 5.50am to 11.05pm, serving residential areas around Punggol Way, Sengkang East Road, Sengkang Central, Buangkok Green, Yio Chu Kang Road and Serangoon Central. It will provide better access to key transport nodes such as Punggol and Serangoon Bus Interchanges, Punggol, Buangkok and Serangoon MRT Stations, amenities such as Montfort School, Serangoon Sports & Recreation Centre and NEX as well as schools such as Hougang Secondary and Hougang Primary.

Shortworking trip 43A, which plied from Buangkok Green to Serangoon Central, was withdrawn after the introduction of 43M due to duplicating sectors.

Fleet
Service 43M consists of the BSEP B9TL Wrights and Mercedes-Benz O530 Citaros.
