Singapore Buses route 143M

Service 143M is a trunk service from Jurong East and looping at Pandan Gardens, passing through Jurong Town Hall Road and Teban Gardens. It is a route variant of service 143, part of the Bus Services Enhancement Programme. It also runs for the route 98 from Westgate all the way to Corporation Place.

Service 143M provides connectivity to the Pandan and Teban Gardens, with greater connectivity to the Jurong East MRT Interchange. The route serves Teban Gardens Market and Hawker Centre, Commonwealth Secondary School, JCube, Jem, Westgate and Jurong Regional Library. This bus service is introduced under the Bus Services Enhancement Programme (BSEP), as well as the first M-series route under the BSEP.

The service duplicates route 143, relieving demand and improving reliability of bus services for commuters. By looping at Pandan Gardens, it strengthens bus connections to many services like 51 and 143. With service 143 being frequently affected by inconsistent arrivals, 143M would be a welcome relief for bus commuters between Pandan Gardens and Jurong East.

It is worth mentioning that service 143M is the same as route 331, as the late hours of having a shortworking trip 143A will be withdrawn.
