Singapore Buses route 548

Premium 548 is a Premium service that is operated by Aedge Holdings Pte Ltd from Ang Mo Kio Avenue 5 to Fullerton Road.

Due to the fact that it was subsumed with Kang Wen Sin since 1 February 2015 (the humble beginnings), the number "138" cannot be used. So it was merged with the premium 548, and transferred from Metroline to Aedge Holdings Pte Ltd from 13 July 2015. Two additional morning trips were later added, owing to a fleet and operators' interest change.

Premium 548 serves the housing estates of Ang Mo Kio Neighborhoods 4, 5 and 6 with bus connections to the CBD, eliminating the hassle of transferring between different modes of transport. It is a more convenient alternative route for residents who would otherwise rely on the MRT to reach the city. Steady increase of demand would lead to the increase of buses deployed, from one trip in 2008 to four trips in 2011, the most number of trips for any SBS Transit Premium service.
