Singapore Buses route 169

Service 169 is a trunk route linking Woodlands and Ang Mo Kio via Yishun, passing through Woodlands Ave 9, Admiralty Road West, Yishun, Sembawang Road, Upper Thomson and Ang Mo Kio. It also extends through Serangoon North, Serangoon Gardens, Serangoon Central and through Chiltern Drive.

It is both a residential and an industrial route, serving the housing estates of Woodlands, Yishun and Ang Mo Kio (and the private estates of Upper Thomson) with connections to Woodlands Regional, Yishun and Ang Mo Kio Town Centres. The route also serves Woodlands Industrial Park and various industries along Senoko and Admiralty Road West, providing connections to Woodlands and Yishun.

As an inter-town route, demand is moderate throughout the day. Peak hour demand is very high due to workers commuting to and from the industrial areas. The route operates a relatively large split-shift fleet along with the deployment of Shortworking Trip 169A to cater for high passenger loading. Students of Republic Polytechnic (RP) also rely on the route to and from Woodlands Regional Interchange.

Fleet
Service 169′s fleet comprises Mercedes-Benz O405G, MAN NL323F and Alexander Dennis Enviro500 buses.

High capacity articulated / double-deck buses are deployed due to high demand during peak periods. Since October 2014, double deckers are deployed on service 169 when it was extended to Chiltern Grove as Ang Leng Yuk's house. Angeline Wong also moved from the TPSS Hotel (20-storey high) all the way to Chiltern Grove and merged there since 19 January 2014.
