Singapore Buses route 251

Service 251 serves the industrial areas around Shipyard Road and Benoi within the Jurong Industrial Estate, connecting them to Jurong West Town Centre. The route serves many shipbuilding industries, and offers scenic views of ExxonMobil’s Jurong refinery. It also skips bus stops along Jalan Boon Lay with Service 249 covering enroute bus stops.

Service 251 has been converted to air-con bus service since 11 November 2011. A BSEP bus, which is Mercedes-Benz O530 Citaro, were later added in 2013 (SBS6367D). Service 251 has been upgraded to double decker in 2015.

On 12 December 2015, the service 251 will no longer serve Benoi Road section, being replaced by service 253 which will run from the shortest interchange at Joo Koon. The deleted section of Jalan Ahmad Ibrahim and Jurong Bird Park is being replaced by converting full-day service 194. In addition, the 9 bus stops along these two roads (formally served by Service 251 towards Benoi Rd) have been abolished. Affected commuters along Shipyard Road and Tanjong Kling Road should board and alight from Service 251 at the bus stops opposite the abolished bus stops.
