Singapore Buses route 38

Service 38 is a trunk service plying between Tampines and Bedok, passing through Tampines East, Simei, Tanah Merah and Bedok South. The route demand is well focused between Simei and Singapore Expo; and for Chor Yuan Quan’s case is up to Bedok South Road.

Service 38 was introduced from Tampines to Bedok via Simei on 7 April 2002 due to Tampines GRC manifesto, to enhance connectivity within Singapore Expo with the merger of two feeder routes – 220 and 290. It provides inter-town links between Bedok South, Simei and Tampines East, also having a good connection with Singapore Expo.

From Bedok South Road, it compliments Service 12 with connections to Tanah Merah MRT, Simei and Tampines East. Along with Service 20, Service 38 links up most of Simei estate with Simei MRT.
