The Bus Connectivity Enhancement Programme, or BCEP for short, was launched on 30 July 2024 by the Land Transport Authority (LTA).
The BCEP will allocate an additional $900 million from 2024 to 2032, for the purchase of new buses and infrastructural improvements, and to fund the operating cost of new bus services.
Initiatives under BCEP for Bus Services are:
- Improvement to bus services to address changing travel patterns
- Introduction of more peak-hour express bus services
- Speeding up the introduction of new bus services in new estates
- Introduction of “express feeder” bus services
The BCEP logo was first unveiled within the City Direct 673 poster in September 2024, carrying the tagline “Connecting People, Improving Journeys”.
BCEP - Bus Services[]
Bus Service Improvements[]
Under the BCEP, bus services will be improved in response to changing travel patterns through measures such as:
- Adding more trips
- Adjusting routes
- Introduction of new bus services
An example cited by LTA is the upcoming extension of an existing bus service to connect residents in Toa Payoh East to Caldecott MRT Station by the end of 2024.
Peak-Hour Express Bus Services[]
More peak-hour express bus services will be introduced under the BCEP to complement busier MRT lines. These include City Direct services, which connect residential estates with the CBD via expressways.
The first of these peak-hour services introduced was City Direct 673, which commenced service in October 2024, connecting Punggol with the CBD.
New Bus Services in New Estates[]
Under the BCEP, residents of new housing estates will be better served by the expedited introduction of new bus services in anticipation of growing demand.
An example cited by LTA was the aim to introduce a new bus service connecting residents in new and upcoming BTO developments in Yishun East to nearby Khatib MRT station by end- September 2024. This was later announced as Service 861, which commenced service on 15 September 2024.
Express Feeder Routes[]
A new category of bus service, the “express feeder”, was launched under the BCEP to enhance connectivity for residents in estates with areas located farther away from major transport nodes and town centres. These services will take more direct routes with fewer intermediate stops than regular feeder bus services, reducing residents’ travel time for the first and last mile of their journeys from major transport nodes.
An example cited by LTA was an upcoming bus service in Tampines North, which will provide a more direct connection for residents in Tampines North to Tampines MRT station in December 2024.
In late February 2025, supplementary Bus Service 979X was announced, to be launched under the BCEP on 24 March 2025. Unlike Service 298X, which is a feeder service, Service 979X is a supplementary express service (while charging regular distance fares as a trunk service), plying a more direct route with fewer stops compared to its parent trunk service, Service 979.
In October 2025, LTA announced that limited-stop bus services which provide a direct connection to MRT Stations for estates farther away from transport nodes will be numbered from 451 onwards to better distinguish them from existing services. As such, existing express feeder services 298X, 979X & 21X would be renumbered as 454, 455 & 456 respectively.
| Date | Bus Service | Changes | Operator |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9 December 2024 | 298X (454) | Tampines North and Tampines West | |
| 24 March 2025 | 979X (455) | Yew Tee | |
| 28 April 2025 | 21X (456) | Whampoa and Novena |
Upcoming[]
At the MOT Committee of Supply Debate 2025, Minister For Transport, Mr Chee Hong Tat, mentioned that LTA plans to introduce another 15 bus services in 2025 across different towns, including Punggol, Bidadari, Yew Tee and Tampines.
Upcoming new bus services by end 2026 for Tengah mentioned by Acting Transport Minister Mr Jeffrey Siow on 8 June 2025:
- Express Service to Jurong East MRT Station
- City Direct service from Brickland
According to a comment by Sun Xueling on her Facebook post, bus services are being planned for Punggol North Avenue. One of planned service plies via Punggol East and Punggol North Ave to Punggol Coast Int.
