Singapore Buses route 42

Service 42 is a residential trunk route, serving the landed housing areas of Kembangan and Siglap with connections to Kembangan MRT.

The route operates in a continuous loop fashion, with drivers taking a short break at Jalan Kembangan (Kembangan MRT) while passengers may board or alight, or stay onboard for the next journey. Buses terminating at Jalan Kembangan will display a terminating signage. It is one of the few bus routes not operating from a bus interchange or terminal.

Formerly operating with Dennis Dart midibuses, they were retired in 2011 and replaced by Volvo B10M Mark IIIs, and after the B10M Mark 3s were retired, it was replaced by SBS993K currently released from service 292 in June 2012, and especially SBS898C. At last, in September 2014; the BSEP fleet was added, and together with that SBS8909C had replaced SBS898C.

Service 42 also operated with a BSEP single decker - SBS6457C, which encourages people to switch from driving to public bus service. Low demand and steep slopes do not justify the use of high capacity buses.
