Bus Service 12e is a Limited-stop Express Bus Service which offers quicker journeys for commuters at Tampines, Simei, and Bedok South, linking them with the Central areas of Bugis. Operating during selected hours in the day, it only calls at selected bus stops served by its parent Bus Service 12, and charges Express Fares as a result.

In between Bedok South and Bugis, the bus plies an express sector along the East Coast Parkway (ECP) in both directions.

Service 12e is the second new route to be introduced under the Bus Contracting Model (BCM) after Service 110, as well as the first limited-stop service to operate daily (since 188R and 963R only operate on Weekends and PHs). The use of the lowercase e as the service suffix has its origins from Fast-Forward services introduced by SBS Transit in 2005, which are limited-stop services operating only during the peak hours.

The number of trips for the service were progressively reduced in various stages in February 2020, January 2021, January 2022 & April 2023.

    Service 12e doesn’t warrant full double deckers,Maybe 50/50 distribution of single and double decker will do just fine.

    Wonderful service. Really bummed about the change in operating hours. The bus always seemed quite full. Thought commuters love it. Probably, the company should focus on advertising about these new services to make it known.
